Abstract

|
The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between the lower back pain and lower back extensor strength as well as to provide patients for their indices of the lower back ex-tensor strength status and even more, to apply them as basic data for exercise prescription. This is a case study based on the collected lower back extensor strength measurement data from Nov. 2003 to Mar. 2007 and from total 1788 patients aged 30s to 50s (male: 944, female: 844) at the spine clinic. The extensor strength test of lower back was measured by 7 stages having 12 degree interval within 0°~72° with Medx manufactured by isometric principle. As a result, there was a significant lower back extensor strength reduction in male (P<.05) according to an increase in age. However, there was inconsistent lower back extensor strength reduction in female and the data was not significantly different (P>.05). There was a difference in lower back extensor strength reduction between male and female in this study because the reduction was very clear in male aged 30s to 40s and in female aged 40s to 50s. These study results showed that there was a dif-ference in lower back extensor strength reduction between male and female based age. Therefore, there is a great need for having different therapeutic exercise approach based on gender and age for the lower back pain.
