In scientific literature, the relationship between the pre-sence of LBP and SEMG outcomes is well established.

Surface Electromyography (SEMG) is a method of detecting myoelectric signals from superficial muscle, carried out by means of the electromyograph, an electromedical instrument, that has evolved in recent years thanks to many clinical applications in the rehabilitative medical field. Although the diagnosis of LBP is mainly clinical, several instrumental procedures have also been applied in order to reach an objective classification of the pathology in relation to the costs that a diagnosis of LBP entails. Costs related to loss of productivity and home care are estimated to be eight times higher than the direct costs for diagnosis and treatment.

The costs related to this disease are comparable to those related to chronic illness such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

Low Back Pain (LBP) is a major public health issue and a leading cause of disability in the Western world.
