Abdominal trunk muscle weakness and its association with chronic low back pain and risk of falling in older women

Abstract

We measured abdominal muscle strength in older women with chronic low back pain using our device, and it was significantly lower than that of those without chronic low back pain. Muscle weakness was associated with a history and risk of falling.
