“…In their review, Steele et al (2014) concluded that patients with (chronic) LBP have decreased lumbar extensor strength and endurance [74]. This has been confirmed by the recent literature [63,[75][76][77][78][79][80][81][82][83][84][85][86][87]. However, this is not supported by all studies and the effect sizes of differences between individuals with and without CLBP are variable [86][87][88].…”

Changes in back muscle function and structure are highly prevalent in patients with chronic low back pain (CLBP). Since large heterogeneity in clinical presentation and back muscle dysfunctions exists within this population, the potential role of back muscle dysfunctions in the persistence of low back pain differs between individuals. Consequently, interventions should be tailored to the individual patient and be based on a thorough clinical examination taking into account the multidimensional nature of CLBP. Considering the complexity of this process, we will provide a state-of-the-art update on back muscle dysfunctions in patients with CLBP and their implications for treatment. To this end, we will first give an overview of (1) dysfunctions in back muscle structure and function, (2) the potential of exercise therapy to address these dysfunctions, and (3) the relationship between changes in back muscle dysfunctions and clinical parameters. In a second part, we will describe a framework for an individualised approach for back muscle training in patients with CLBP.

With a growing focus on properties of softness, miniaturization, and intelligence, extensive research has been focusing on constructing wearable electronic devices facilitating comfort, wearable health monitoring and diagnosis. Among recent progress in the development of wearable bioelectronics, wearable near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) devices demonstrate wide implementation possibilities in multiple health monitoring scenarios. Throughout the years, multiple design strategies have assisted in developing wearable NIRS devices with high wearing comfortability and miniaturized size. This review summarizes the principle of NIRS technology, recent advances in design strategies towards soft, wearable, miniaturized NIRS devices, and the future potential development directions. Based on the discussion of different design strategies, including modular device design, flexible hybrid electronics, and materials innovation, we also pinpoint some development directions for wearable NIRS. The reviewed and proposed research efforts may enhance the

IntroductionWearable near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) can be used during dynamic exercise to reflect the balance of muscle oxygen delivery and uptake. This study describes the behaviour and reliability of postexercise reoxygenation with NIRS as a function of exercise intensity at four muscle sites during an incremental cycling test. We discuss physiological components of faster and slower reoxygenation kinetics in the context of sport science and clinical applications. We hypothesised that reoxygenation would be slower at higher intensity, and that locomotor muscles would be faster than accessory muscles. We quantified test-retest reliability and agreement for each site.MethodsTwenty-one trained cyclists performed two trials of an incremental cycling protocol with 5-min work stages and 1-min rest between stages. NIRS was recorded from the locomotor vastus lateralis and rectus femoris muscles, and accessory lumbar paraspinal and lateral deltoid muscles. Reoxygenation time course was analysed as the half-recovery time (HRT) from the end of work to half of the peak reoxygenation amplitude during rest. Coefficient of variability (CV) between participants, standard error of the measurement (SEM) within participants, and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) for test-retest reliability were evaluated at 50%, 75%, and 100% peak workloads. A linear mixed-effects model was used to compare differences between workloads and muscle sites.ResultsHRT was slower with increasing workload in the VL, RF, and PS, but not DL. VL had the fastest reoxygenation (lowest HRT) across muscle sites at all workloads (HRT = 8, 12, 17 s at 50%, 75%, 100% workload, respectively). VL also had the greatest reliability and agreement. HRT was sequentially slower between muscle sites in the order of VL < RF < PS < DL, and reliability was lower than for the VL.DiscussionThis study highlights the potential for using wearable NIRS on multiple muscle sites during exercise. Reoxygenation kinetics differ between local muscle sites with increasing intensity. Moderate-to-good reliability in the VL support its increasing use in sport science and clinical applications. Lower reliability in other muscle sites suggest they are not appropriate to be used alone, but may add information when combined to better reflect systemic intensity and fatigue during exercise at different intensities.
