Abstract

Muscle function is relevant to the effective diagnosis and treatment of LBP, although the qualitative and quantitative measurement of muscle function remains problematic. The aims of this study is to evaluate the spinal musculature function and contraction profiles for patients with low back pain (LBP) syndromes both pre and post treatment, and to compare these results to those obtained from normal subjects. 20 normal subjects and 10 patients with LBP were asked to perform symmetrical and asymmetrical loading activities which simulated common industrial tasks. Surface EMG electrodes and video cameras were used to record muscular activity and spinal kinematics. In comparison with the normal group, subjects with LBP showed different muscle activation profiles. No change in the EMG patterns was seen pre and post-treatment.

用肌电图评估腰痛综合征患者的肌肉功能

尽管肌肉功能的定性和定量测量仍然存在问题，但肌肉功能与腰痛的有效诊断和治疗有关。本研究的目的是评估腰痛(LBP)综合征患者治疗前后的脊髓肌肉组织功能和收缩特征，并将这些结果与正常人的结果进行比较。20名正常人和10名腰痛患者被要求进行对称和不对称负荷活动，模拟常见的工业任务。表面肌电电极和摄像机用于记录肌肉活动和脊柱运动学。与正常组相比，腰痛患者表现出不同的肌肉激活谱。治疗前后肌电图无明显变化。
