ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Degenerative spinal deformity (DSD) is believed to originate from degeneration of the discs and facet joints and vertebral wedging. Currently, the nosogeny of DSD is not yet fully clarified and there has been no systematic study on the impact of their lower back muscle strength on quality of life.OBJECTIVE:
To determine the characteristics of back extensor strength (BES) in different body positions and examine their correlations with health-related quality of life (HQOL) in degenerative spinal deformity (DSD) patients.METHODS:
Participants comprised 60 DSD patients and 40 healthy volunteers. Maximal isometric BES was evaluated by dynamometers with the subject in three different positions (standing, prone, sitting). The visual analogue scale (VAS) score, Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), Roland-Morris Disability Questionnaire (RMQ), and 36-item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) score were used to evaluate patient HQOL. Correlations between the BES in different body positions and HQOL were analysed.RESULTS:
The BES values in three body positions were significantly smaller in DSD patients than healthy subjects (P< 0.05). The standing BES was found to be negatively associated with ODI and RMQ (R= 0.313, p< 0.05 and R= 0.422, p< 0.01, respectively). A negative relationship between sitting BES and RMQ was also seen (R= 0.271, p< 0.05). In addition, the standing and prone BES were positively correlated with the physical functioning score of the SF-36 (R= 0.471, p< 0.01 and R= 0.289, p< 0.05, respectively), and the sitting BES was positively correlated with the role-physical score of the SF-36 (R= 0.436, p< 0.01).CONCLUSION:
The results indicate that the back extensor muscle is compromised in DSD patients and there are differences in predicting the severity of disability and physical HQOL scores with BES in different positions. Standing BES was the most reliable contributor to HQOL among three body positions.Palabras clave
