Trunk Muscle Training + NMES: Improving Function in Elders With Chronic Low Back Pain
The purpose of this project is to examine the effectiveness of trunk muscle training, both volitionally and augmented by neuromuscular electrical stimulation, to reduce pain and improve functional capacity of older adults with chronic low back pain. This study also proposes to examine changes in trunk muscle composition with this intervention via MRI.
Role on Project: Co-Investigator 5% per year
