Despite the ever ongoing development in the examination procedures, it is still impossible to exactly diagnose a large percentage of patients with dorsal pains. This is due to an insufficiently clear connection between symptoms, pathological changes and results from the imaging techniques. Besides a morphological and neurological examination, a grave diagnostic attention should here be given to a possible muscular dysfunction. A simple electromechanical device called muscle dynamometer (MD01) has been constructed for the purpose of enabling to effortlessly, objectively and precisely examine the muscle power-output in the lumbar spine area and reveal a possible, often found and therapeutically treated, dysfunction of the deep stabilizing spine system (DSSS). During a six-week-rehabilitation-course, aimed at correcting the body posture and strengthening the DSSS muscles, a statistically significant change (p
