Abstract.[Purpose] The present study examined how exercise rehabilitation, extension exercise rehabilitation, and stabilization exercise rehabilitation programs for 8 weeks affected the lumbar region of elderly patients who underwent posterior lumbar interbody fusion surgery.[Methods] Sixty participants were divided into 3 groups. The participants' lumbar extensor muscle strength was evaluated at 7 angles (72°, 60°, 48°, 36°, 24°, 12°, and 0°) from flexion to extension by MedX after 8 weeks; and pain, disability, and maximum muscle strength were also measured.[Results] Extension exercise rehabilitation significantly decreased disability compared with the other exercise methods. On the other hand, stabilization exercise rehabilitation significantly increased lumbar deep muscle strength and endurance compared with the other exercise methods. When strength was compared using MedX, extension exercise rehabilitation increased strength significantly more than the other methods at the lumbar flexion angles of 12° and 0°.[Conclusion] The three exercise programs decreased pain and disability, and increased lumbar deep muscle strength of the posterior lumbar interbody fusion patients. Therefore, these methods help patients attain pain-free lives.

“…We postulate that changes in the recruitment of primary stabilizers of the spine may generate compensatory cocontraction of the superficial muscles and increase the vulnerability of the spine [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16] , and may be related to the incidence of chronic low back pain [6][7][8][9]12 .…”

“…Clinical tests have been used to evaluate the recruitment of stabilizing muscles of the spine [12][13][14][15][16] . Among them, we have the clinical rating scale (CRS) 5 , recommended as an easy to operate and low cost tool, intended for the assessment of the suction maneuver, following 5 criteria (quality, replacement, symmetry, breathing, and maintenance) by palpatory techniques; and the measurement of the thickness of the abdominal muscles using ultrasonography images (MEM-US) [12][13][14][15][16][17] .…”

RESUMO Este estudo investigou a associação entre testes clínicos, desfechos clínicos e risco prognóstico de pacientes com dor lombar crônica não específica. Para esta pesquisa, 20 pacientes, maiores de 18 anos, foram selecionados por conveniência e submetidos à avaliação dos desfechos clínicos por meio de Escala numérica de dor e Questionário de incapacidade. Para classificação de risco prognóstico utilizou-se o questionário STarT Back, e para avaliar o recrutamento do músculo transverso do abdome foram utilizados os seguintes testes clínicos: Escala de classificação clínica (ECC); e medida da espessura dos músculos do abdome por meio de imagens ultrassonográficas (MEM-US). Os testes foram realizados em um único dia por avaliador treinado, e a ordem dos testes foi aleatória. Os coeficientes de correlação de Pearson (r) e Spearman (rS) foram utilizados para investigar a associação. Os resultados mostraram que as associações entre o risco prognóstico de dor lombar com os desfechos clínicos, dor e incapacidade foram moderadas (r=0,68 e r=0,57, respectivamente). Para ECC, as associações com incapacidade e risco prognóstico foram consideradas razoáveis (r=-0,34 e r=-0,36, respectivamente). Não houve associações com a MEM-US. Na amostra de baixo risco prognóstico, a relação do ECC com a incapacidade foi considerada moderada para boa, enquanto para dor a correlação foi razoável (rS=-0,62 e rS=-0,24, respectivamente). Concluímos que existe associação entre ECC com desfechos clínicos e risco prognóstico, e a estratificação, segundo o risco prognóstico, aumenta a relação observada. Futuros estudos devem ser conduzidos com novas medidas para avaliação do recrutamento muscular abdominal com amostras maiores.
