Abstract Objective: Comparison of global and local abdominal muscles thickness in chronic non-specific low back pain patients with healthy controls in position of hook-lying over variant stability surface utilizing diagnostic ultrasonography Methods and Materials: 20 chronic non-specific low back pain male patients compared with a convenient sample of age and gender matched healthy controls in a semi-experimental study. Thickness of abdominal muscles was measured in end of inspiration and expiration phases by B-mode linear ultrasound transducer in three different hook-lying positions over: 1- stable surface, 2- foam roller under spine and finally 3- foam roller under spine and one foot. Data were analyzed utilizing SPSS. Results: In healthy controls internal oblique and transverse abdomens muscles in expiration phase revealed significant differences between three positions. P< 0.001 In patients internal oblique and transverse abdomens muscles only revealed significant differences between position one and two. P< 0.005 Conclusion: In low back pain subjects internal oblique and transverse abdomens muscles were unable to activate in more difficult position over unstable surface due to chronic pain process such as functional deficiency and decrease number of muscle spindle and muscle fiber atrophy.
