Muscles of the Spine
Assessing a patient’s muscle strength is important both before and after surgery. The stronger the muscles are before surgery, the better and easier time the patient will have throughout the recovery process. It is important to have strong muscles for long-term success. The more supportive the muscles are, the less strain there will be on the spine itself
Strong musculature with no fat in the muscle
The muscle is completely inflated with fat fibers
