Female and male trunk geometry: size and prediction of the spine loading trunk muscles derived from MRI

Develop a gender specific database of trunk muscle cross-sectional areas across multiple levels of the thoracic and lumbar spine and develop prediction equations for the physiological cross-sectional area as a function of gender and anthropometry.This study quantified trunk muscle cross-sectional areas of male and female spine loading muscles.There is a lack of comprehensive data regarding the female spine loading muscle size. Although...
