✦ Synopsis

A method for measuring the cross-sectional area (CS area) of the peroneal nerve muscle groups (PNMG) by ultrasonography is presented. The method has a good reliability and can be performed easily. The mean value of the ratio (~100) of the right-sided PNMG CS area to the left-sided PNMG CS area in right-handed normal subjects was 98%, with a standard deviation of 8.5%. The normal range for this value was 81%-115% (mean 2 2 SD). Examples of these measurements in patients with peroneal pareses during denervation and reinnervation are given.

A knowledge of the alteration in the fibre type profile of paraspinal muscle associated with low back pain is essential for the design of successful rehabilitation programmes. In attempting to compare the muscles of patients with low back pain with those of controls, few previous studies have consid
