Decline in lumbar extensor muscle strength the older adults: correlation with age, gender and spine morphology
BACKGROUND Muscle morphology, age and gender may be determinants of muscle strength in older adults. However, very few research studies have directly examined such correlation in the ageing spine. The aim of the study was to examine the correlation between lumbar extensor muscle strength, its muscle fibre angles, thoracolumbar curvature, age and gender in the older and younger adults. METHODS...
متن کاملRelationship between muscle performance and DXA-derived bone parameters in community-dwelling older adults
OBJECTIVES To examine association between muscle strength, jump test performance, muscle mass, bone mineral density (BMD), and bone strength in older adults. METHODS Sixty individuals (55-75 years) participated. Leg press strength and bilateral hip abduction strength were evaluated by one repetition-maximum testing. Jump power (JPow) and jump height (JHt) were assessed by jump test performanc...
متن کاملValidity and test–retest reliability of a novel simple back extensor muscle strength test
OBJECTIVES To develop and determine convergent validity and reliability of a simple and inexpensive clinical test to quantify back extensor muscle strength. METHODS Two testing sessions were conducted, 7 days apart. Each session involved three trials of standing maximal isometric back extensor muscle strength using both the novel test and isokinetic dynamometry. Lumbar spine bone mineral dens...
متن کاملAge-related changes in muscle strength and spinal kyphosis angles in an elderly Japanese population
Lumbar kyphosis and the decreased mobility of the lumbar spine increase the risk of falls and impair both the quality of life and the ability to perform activities of daily living. However, in the elderly Japanese population, little is known about the age-related changes and sex-related differences in muscle strength, including of the upper and lower extremities and back extensors. An adequate ...
متن کاملAnthropometric Changes Over Five Years in Older Adults and its Association with Demographic Characteristics, Muscle Strength and Comorbid Disorders: A Longitudinal Population-Based Study
Background and purpose: Anthropometric measures are of great importance in evaluating older adult health. This study was carried out to examine five-year changes in anthropometric indices of older adults and its association with demographic characteristics, muscle strength, and comorbid disorders. Materials and methods: This cohort study was conducted during 2011-2016 in people aged 60 years ...
