Abstract

Introduction

Trunk musculature is an important contributor to spinal
stability. In a healthy population, ageing leads to generalised muscle
volume loss. Whilst the benefits of synergistic muscle activity for a
supported spine are well reported, age-related changes of relative
muscle volume are less well-documented. Therefore, the aim of this
preliminary study was to identify trunk muscle volume and ratio of
flexors to extensors in a young and mature group of healthy
participants.
