Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Paraspinal muscle degeneration with aging leads to low back pain, kyphosis, and poor quality of life in the elderly. In this study, we evaluated the effect of trunk muscle training on the elderly with low back pain in a multifaceted and objective way. We clarified that trunk muscle training improved low back pain, kyphosis, and quality of life score, and increased the cross-sectional area of the paraspinal muscle. Trunk muscle training is effective in preventing locomotive syndrome in the elderly.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
運動療法の有効性については過去に多くの報告があるが、それらの多くは症状や身体機能のみで評価されており、客観性に乏しく、運動療法に関するエビデンスは十分であるとはいいがたい。本研究では、体幹筋力トレーニングの有効性を、症状や身体機能に加え、傍脊柱筋の量的・質的状態、脊柱アライメントの変化に着目して検証し、運動療法の新たなエビデンス構築の一助となると考える。
