Abstract
An approach to detect low-back-pain (LBP) is developed in this study. In this work, the electrical bioimpedance methodology (EBM) was proposed to measure the impedance and phase angle of the low-back muscle at various frequency bands for the healthy group and the patients suffering from LBP. After normalization of the measured impedances and phase angle, characteristic analyses of muscle property for LBP patients and the healthy using statistical software SPSS with paired sample t-test and independent sample t-test is feasible to evaluate the dissimilarity of the two groups. This proposed methodology enables to have the capability of offering a fast and accurate technique for some muscle-related diseases.
