Figure 5: A relationship between the spinal alignment and the spinal muscle.
a) A comparison between the degree of change of the lumbar flexure and the ratio of the multifidus muscle to the major psoas muscle
b) A comparison between the degree of change of the lumbar flexure and the ratio of the multifidus muscle to the major psoas muscle in stepping postures
c) A comparison between the degree of change of the lumbar flexure and the ratio of the multifidus muscle to the major psoas muscle in standing postures
d) A relationship between the degree of change of the lateral spinal curvature and the ratio of the right-and-left multifidus muscles.
