Résumé : |
Objective To explore the bivariate and multivariate relations between fatty degeneration of the lumbar multifidus muscle (LMM) and LMM function among patients with low back pain (LBP). Design Cross-sectional clinical study. Setting Hospital. Participants Patients with LBP (N=70) referred for lumbar spine magnetic resonance imaging. Interventions Not applicable. Main Outcome Measures LMM morphology and function were measured at the L4/L5 and L5/S1 spinal levels bilaterally. Quantitative measures of LMM intramuscular adipose tissue (IMAT) were derived from T1-weighted magnetic resonance images. Function was assessed with ultrasound imaging by measuring change in LMM thickness during a submaximal contraction task. The study participants self-reported their level of LBP-related disability (Modified Oswestry Index), pain intensity (numerical pain rating scale), and physical activity (International Physical Activity Questionnaire). Bivariate and multivariate relations between LMM morphology and function were explored with correlational and hierarchical linear regression analyses, respectively. Additionally, we explored for possible covariates with potential to modify the relation between LMM IMAT and function. Results There were 70 participants (12 women) enrolled in the study (mean age, 45.4+11.9y). A high level of physical activity was reported by 45.5% of participates. Age, sex, and physical activity level demonstrated variable relations with LMM IMAT and LMM function. There were no significant bivariate or multivariate relations between LMM IMAT and LMM function. Conclusions We observed higher levels of physical activity and LMM function and less LMM IMAT than previous studies involving patients with LBP. There was no relation between LMM morphology and function in this cohort of patients with LBP. Issues specific to LMM measurement and recommendations for future research are discussed. |
