Fig. 2

Data statistics and analysis: In the herniation and healthy groups, one-way analysis of variance applied to statistical tests. There were statistically significant differences in the total multifidus muscle cross-sectional area (a), pure multifidus muscle cross-sectional area (b) and average multifidus muscle width (c). Chi-square test was used to compare the degree of fatty infiltration of the left (d) and right (e) multifidus muscles in the two groups. **P<0.01. *P<0.05. LMM: lumbar multifidus muscle
