“…However, when considering the frontal and sagittal sway values of 21-30-year-old women (9.50 and 13 mm, respectively) [17] and 31-40-year-old women (8.17 mm/12 mm) [19], these values are lower than those in the present study, while those of 41-50-year-olds are larger and almost identical, respectively, with 13 mm in the frontal variation and 16.5 mm in the sagittal variation [20]. Consequently, the notion that the sway in joint weight is influenced by age can only be partially confirmed [4,5,38]. Regarding the weak positive correlations between age and the parameters sagittal and frontal body sway as well as the ellipse area and width, it can be concluded that the ability to balance slowly decreases over the course of life even without subjective, pathological information.…”

Background: In order to determine possible pathological deviations in body weight distribution and body sway, it is helpful to have reference values for comparison: gender and age are two main influencing factors. For this reason, it was the aim of the present study to present reference values for women between 51 and 60 years of age. Methods: For this study, 101 subjectively healthy female Germans aged between 51 and 60 years (55.16 ± 2.89 years) volunteered and were required to stand in a habitual posture on a pressure measuring platform. Results: The average BMI of this age group was 25.02 ± 4.55 kg/m². The left and right foot showed an almost evenly balanced load distribution with a median load of 52.33% on the left foot [tolerance interval (TR) 38.00%/68.03%; confidence interval (CI) 51.00%/53.33%] and 47.67% on the right foot [TR 31.97%/62.00%; CI 46.67%/49.00%]. The measured median load of the forefoot was 33.33% [TR 21.37%/54.60%; CI 30.67%/36.00%] and that of the rear foot was 66.67% [TR 45.50%/78.63%; CI 64.00%/69.33%]. The median body sway in the frontal plane was 11 mm [TR 5.70 mm/26.30 mm; CI 10.00 mm/11.67 mm] and that of the sagittal plane was 16 mm [TR 7.37 mm/34.32 mm; CI 14.67 mm/18.67 mm]. The median ellipse area was 1.17 cm² [TR 0.29 cm²/4.96 cm²; CI 0.98 cm²/1.35 cm²], the median ellipse width was 0.91 cm [TR 0.42 cm/1.9 cm; CI 0.84 cm/1.02 cm] and its height was 0.40 cm [TR 0.22 cm/0.89 cm; CI 0.38 cm/0.43 cm]. Conclusions: The left-to-right ratio is almost balanced. The load distribution of the forefoot to the rear foot is approximately 1:2. The median body sway values for the frontal and sagittal planes (11 and 16 mm, respectively) agree with other values. The values for the height, body weight and the BMI are comparable to the values of average German women at this age; therefore, the measured values show a presentable cross section of women in the 51–60 age group in Germany. The present data can be used as a basis for women aged 51–60 years and can support the detection of possible dysfunctions as well as injury prevention in the parameters of postural control.

“…Since bone and muscle also interact closely chemically and metabolically, fat infiltration is also observed in age-related bone and muscle loss (sarcopenia) 57 . Furthermore, there is an age-related degenerative reduction in mitochondrial function as well as a reduction in the degree of interconnectedness of neurons at the neuronal level, which is also associated with a decrease in responsiveness as well as a reduction in processing speed with regard to motor function among other things [58][59][60][61] . Equivalent age-related changes in lumbar lodosis have not been demonstrated 55,62 .…”

In order to classify and analyze the parameters of upper body posture in clinical or physiotherapeutic settings, a baseline in the form of standard values with special regard to age, sex and BMI is required. Thus, subjectively healthy men and women aged 21–60 years were measured in this project. The postural parameters of 800 symptom-free male (n = 397) and female (n = 407) volunteers aged 21–60 years (Ø♀: 39.7 ± 11.6, Ø ♂: 40.7 ± 11.5 y) were studied. The mean height of the men was 1.8 ± 0.07 m, with a mean body weight of 84.8 ± 13.1 kg and an average BMI of 26.0 ± 3.534 kg/m2. In contrast, the mean height of the women was 1.67 ± 0.06 m, with a mean body weight of 66.5 ± 12.7 kg and an average BMI of 23.9 ± 4.6 kg/m2. By means of video rasterstereography, a 3-dimensional scan of the upper back surface was measured when in a habitual standing position. The means or medians, confidence intervals, tolerance ranges, the minimum, 2.5, 25, 50, 75, 97.5 percentiles and the maximum, plus the kurtosis and skewness of the distribution, were calculated for all parameters. Additionally, ANOVA and a factor analyses (sex, BMI, age) were conducted. In both sexes across all age groups, balanced, symmetrical upper body statics were evident. Most strikingly, the females showed greater thoracic kyphosis and lumbar lordosis angles (kyphosis: Ø ♀ 56°, Ø♂ 51°; lordosis: Ø ♀ 49°, Ø♂ 32°) and lumbar bending angles (Ø ♀ 14°, Ø♂ 11°) than the males. The distance between the scapulae was more pronounced in men. These parameters also show an increase with age and BMI, respectively. Pelvic parameters were independent of age and sex. The upper body postures of women and men between the ages of 21 and 60 years were found to be almost symmetrical and axis-conforming with a positive correlation for BMI or age. Consequently, the present body posture parameters allow for comparisons with other studies, as well as for the evaluation of clinical (interim) diagnostics and applications.

“…Physical activity (PA) is important for all body systems and general health as PA reduces the risk of obesity, osteoarthritis and the development of chronic pain [1] , [2] , [3] , [4] , [5] , [6] , [7] . Surrogate measures for PA include the number of steps per day (steps/day) and the amount of moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA).…”

Background:The effect of lumbar decompression on physical activity (PA) measures (measured as number of steps/day and as moderate to vigorous PA (MVPA)) is poorly understood. The aim of the current study was to compare PA in patients before and after lumbar decompression and to determine the association between change in steps/day and MVPA with change in disability, health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and pain. Methods: Patients undergoing lumbar decompression surgery were recruited. Steps/day and MVPA MVPA were recorded with an accelerometer. Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), HRQOL (Short Form 36 questionnaire (SF-36)) and pain levels (visual analogue scale (VAS)) were collected prior to surgery and six and twelve weeks postoperatively. Steps/day were compared to the lower bound of steps/day in healthy persons (7,000 steps per day), and the relationship between changes in steps/day, MVPA, ODI, SF-36, and VAS were calculated. Results: Twenty-six patients aged 37 to 75 years met inclusion criteria and were included in the study. Lumbar decompressions were performed for stenosis and/or disc herniation. Preoperatively, patients took an average 5,073 ± 2,621 (mean ± standard deviation) steps/day. At 6 weeks postoperatively, patients took 6,131 ± 2,343 steps/day. At 12 weeks postoperatively, patients took 5,683 ± 2,128 steps/day. Postoperative MVPA minutes per week increased compared to preoperative MVPA (preoperative: 94.6 ± 122.9; 6 weeks: 173.9 ± 181.9; 12 weeks: 145.7 ± 132.8). From preoperative to 12 weeks postoperative, change in steps correlated with MVPA (R = 0.775; P < 0.001), but not with ODI (R = 0.069; P = 0.739), SF-36 (R = 0.138; P = 0.371), VAS in the back (R = 0.230; P = 0.259) or VAS in the leg (R = -0.123; P = 0.550). Conclusions: During the first 12 postoperative weeks, daily steps did not reach the lower bound of normal step activity of 7,000 steps/day, however postoperative steps/day were higher than before surgery. Steps/day and MVPA appear to be independent of ODI and SF-36 and represent additional outcome parameters in patients undergoing lumbar decompression surgery and should be considered e.g., by physiotherapists especially from 6 to 12 weeks postoperatively.
