[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to provide the data for constructing an integrated exercise program to help restore muscle strength and stability through extension strength exercise in adult females with lumbar disc herniation. [Subjects and Methods] An 8-week exercise program for lumbar muscle extension strength and stabilization was performed by 26 females older than 20 with lumbar disc herniation findings. [Results] Significant differences were found in lumbar extension muscle strength at every angle of lumbar flexion after participation in the 8-week stabilization exercise program; but there was no significant difference in the weight distribution index. [Conclusion] An integrated exercise program aiming to strengthen lumbar spine muscles, reduce pain and stabilize the trunk can help to maintain muscle strength and balance. In addition, improvement in extension strength is expected to be helpful in daily life by securing the range of joint motion and improving the strength and stability.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented on February 06, 2013. Per the associated paper, Aguirre GK (2012) FIASCO, VoxBo, and MEDx: behind the code. Neuroimage 62: 765-7, the MedX software was discontinued. The website itself however, looks like you can still buy it (website last updated 2004). Highly optimized, portable, commercial software for the visualization, processing, and analysis of medical images. The packages include: SPM '99, FSL, DICOM Import/Export, ABLe, Functional Data Simulator. Designed especially for medical imaging researchers and system developers, MEDx brings multi-modality, multi-dimensional image processing functionality to the medical imaging research community. With MEDx, users display images and control menus using the industry-standard XWindow display system and Tcl/Tk interface language. MEDx transforms your computer into a powerful image processing workstation that displays, analyzes, and processes your medical image data in a myriad of innovative ways.
