The purpose of this study was to investigate relationship of lumbar extensor muscle power & spmal
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^≤ in l^st loaded test and 2^nd loaded test and then tested lumbar extensor muscle power with Medx^≤ lumbar extension machine.
The results of this study were as follow:
There were statistically significant difference l^st loaded test and 2^nd loaded test in upright position
increase spinal column forwardly(p<0.01) and decrease lumbar lordosis angle(p<0.0l), but no
statistically significant difference l^st loaded test and 2^nd loaded test thoracic and hip & sacrum curve angle. Their lumbar extensor muscle power is very weakness , 61.4% of normal people.
