The purpose of this study was to determine the quantitative assessment of lumbar extension strength change for pre-operation, post-operation and following 4 week rest in hernia-operated patients. Twenty-four(11males and 13 female) subjects participated and was tested at 3 times for pre-operation, post-operation and following 4 week rest. Each test involved the measurement of maximum voluntary isometric torque at seven degrees (72, 60, 48, 36, 24, 12, 0) of lumbar flexion using the Medx lumbar extension machine. There was no significant improvement of lumbar extenstion strength between pre-operation and post-operation for male at all degrees but for female significant increase was appeared at major degrees except 48?, 0? between pre-operation and post-operation and at all degrees between pre-operation and following 4 week rest. Result further on body weight ratio show same results except that there was significant increase for female at all degree except 0? between pre-operation and post-operation.
