Abstract

The purpose of this study was to compare acute and chronic LBP patient in twenties and forties, respectively by size measure paraspinal muscle (cross-sectional area; CSA). CSA of paraspinal muscle (psoas, multifidus, erector muscle) size was measured by free-handling technique of the picture archiving and communication system(PACS) using MRI at the level(lower end-plate of L4) in twenties(9 males, 10 females) and forties(9 males, 8 females) in acute and chronic LBP patient. The results of this study showed no significantly difference between acute and chronic LBP (p>0.05) in twenties patients. However, there was significant difference between acute and chronic LBP (p<0.05) in forties patients. Also, there was significant difference in paraspinal muscle CSA between chronic LBP patients in twenties and chronic LBP patients in forties (p<0.05). This study showed that paraspinal muscle atrophy was observed in forties with various cause, but Not chronic LBP patients in twenties. Accordingly it is required for chronic LBP patients in forties to minimize trunk muscle atrophy through immediate back muscle dynamic exercise and early functional activity.

이 연구는 20대와 40대의 급성과 만성 요통환자를 대상으로 척추 주위근육의 단면도를 비교하는 것이다. 20대(남자-9, 여자-10)와 40대(남자-8, 여자9)의 대상자들은 MRI로 요추(4번 하부 종단판) 단면도의 척추주위근육(장요근, 다열근, 척추기립근)들의 크기를 PACS(free-handling technique of the picture archiving and communication system(PACS)을 이용하여 측정하였다. 연구 결과 20대 급성과 만성 요통 환자들의 척추 주위근들의 차이는 통계학적으로 유의성이 없게 나타났으나, 40대 급성과 만성 요통환자들의 척추 주위근들의 차이는 만성 요통환자들이 근 위축이 통계학적으로 유의성 있게 나타났다. 또한 20대와 40대의 만성요통환자 척추 주위근들의 차이도 40대 만성요통 환자들에게 유의성 있게 나타났다. 연구에서 20대 만성환자들의 근 위축은 나타나지 않았으나 40대 만성환자들은 다양한 이유로 근 위축이 나타났다. 따라서 40대의 만성 요통환자들은 조기의 다양한 요부 근력 운동 및 기능적 활동 등으로 허리 주위근육의 위축을 감소시키는 것이 필요하다.
