ABSTRACT
Chronic back pain is a common and serious problem, both from a medical and an economic point of view. The evaluation of the condition of the back muscles is carried out according to the results of an electromyographic examination during physical exercise. Electromyographic results are strongly correlated with the degree of tension and flexion of the muscle, and the quality of the physical exercise by the patient can be determined by the presence of pain or fear of pain. In this regard, it is proposed to supplement the electromyographic complex with blocks of control of the level of pain and degree of flexion of the back muscles. An electromyographic complex is proposed for recording EMG in a “boat” position with control of the degree of back muscle flexion with parallel registration of the EEG signal to control the level of pain during exercise. Such a system will allow objectivising evaluation of the results of electromyography with parallel control of the level of pain and level of flexion of the back muscles to assess the degree of dysfunction of the back muscles and the quality of the performed therapeutic and surgical activities.
