Abstract
|
|
|
Three kinds of study were performed to evaluate the efficacy of inflated lumbar corset.
At first, pain was objectified by MacNab's criteria. Secondary lateral standing roentgenograms were compared before and after fitting the corset.
Finally isokinetic evaluation of the trunk flexors and extensors were performed by the use of Cybex 6000 TEF unit.
Most patients demonstrated significant back pain, loss of lumbar lordosis and weakness of extensor muscles before fitting the corset but they experienced pain relief and stability in carious degrees, after fitting the inflated lumbar corset.
