| ABSTRACT |
|
This study was aimed to determine the effect for the weight distribution and lumbar extension strength associated with obesity index in male patients of Chronic Low Back Pain. Sixty subjects(obesity group(BMI:25Kg/m2): n=30, non obesity group: n=30) participated on this study. Both group were tested on lumbar extension using by MedX machine. Front heels and back heels were measured twice using by the Tetrax Portable Multiple System. Independent sample t-test was used to analyze the difference between the two groups. Study results showed that the obese back pain group(G1) had more weight loaded on both heels than the normal back pain group(G2), but there was no significant difference between the groups (p>.05). As for the lumbar extension strength at each angle, the obese back pain group appeared higher muscular strength than the normal group at 0°, but was stronger at angles 12°, 24°, 36°, 48°, 60°, and 72°. The ratio of lumbar flexion 72° and 0° angle showed 2.75:1 in G1 group and 2.48:1 in G2 group. Overall, the back pain group of obesity(G1) according to weight distribution tended to maintain their center of force more backwards by increasing the lordosis degree with abdominal distension. |
