Tensiomyography (TMG) is an injury detecting tool for muscle group im-balances and/or side-to-side asymmetries. It is liable to detect to mea-sure contractile properties and mechanical responses based on mus-cle belly displacement. Although other previous papers have well sug-gested the methods for examining the several muscle groups using TMG, a detecting method for the imbalances in low back muscles has not been investigated, and no review papers have been compiled. Therefore, this study aimed to synthesize the theories of the previous studies observed using TMG and to briefly summarize its usefulness by performing simple experiments on the left and right regions of the erec-tor spinae muscles, which may be a problem using TMG for patients with low back pain.
