A study on the relationship of lumbar extensor muscle power and static spinal loaded test for old female patients with lumbar degenerative kyphosis

The purpose of this study was to investigate relationship of lumbar extensor muscle power & spinal column curve for old female patients with LDK(Lumbar degenerative kyphosis). Subjects were composed of 37 old female with LDK. The subjects were tested in their spinal segment movement and spinal column curve with Spinal-$Mouse^{\leq}$ in $1^{st}$ loaded test and $2^{nd}$ loaded test and then tested lumbar extensor muscle power with $Medx^{\leq}$ lumbar extension machine. The results of this study, were as follow; There were statistically significant difference $1^{st}$ loaded test and $2^{nd}$ loaded test in upright position increase spinal column forwardly(p<0.01) and decrease lumbar lordosis angle(p<0.01), but no statistically significant difference $1^{st}$ loaded test and $2^{nd}$ loaded test thoracic and hip & sacrum curve angle. Their lumbar extensor muscle poser is very weakness, 61.4% of normal people.
