This study aims to compare muscle functions and functional performances between older persons with and without low back pain (LBP) and to determine the association between muscle functions and functional performances. This is a cross-sectional study, involving 95 older persons (age = 70.27 ± 7.26 years). Anthropometric characteristics, muscle functions, and functional performances were measured. Data were analyzed using ANOVA, Pearson's correlation, and multiple linear regression. The functional performances showed no significant differences (females LBP versus non-LBP, males LBP versus non-LBP) (p < 0.05). For muscle functions, significant differences were found (females LBP versus non-LBP) for abdominal muscle strength (p = 0.006) and back muscle strength (p = 0.07). In the LBP group, significant correlations were found between back and abdominal muscle strength and hand grip strength (r = 0.377 and r = 0.396, resp.), multifidus control and lower limb function (r = 0.363) in females, and back muscle strength and lower limb function (r = 0.393) in males (all p < 0.05). Regression analysis showed that abdominal and back muscle strengths were significant predictors of hand grip strength (p = 0.041 and p = 0.049, resp.), and multifidus control was a significant predictor of lower limb function in females (p = 0.047). This study demonstrates that older women with LBP exhibit poorer muscle functions compared to older women without LBP.

“…A possible explanation is that these participants were exploiting this strategy to its maximum effect during vibratory stimulation of 60 Hz. Also, according to other study, the impairment of back muscle strength leads to the motor function and sensory deficit that affects balance performance [58]. Moreover, according to another study, the lower leg's response to balance control under 30 Hz proprioceptive stimulation might be a good indicator of declining gait function [59].…”

In elderly people with mobility limitations, abnormalities in posture and gait contribute to the greater decline of physical motor function. The aim of the review article was to determine the comprehensive physical motor function assessment. Muscle function was assessed with the grip strength. Gait function was assessed with walking time tests conducted at a normal pace. Balance function was assessed with one-legged standing time. The 6-min walking distance test (6MD) was performed in a 10-m, straight corridor. Walking efficiency during the 6MD trials was measured using the Cosmed K4b2 (Rome, Italy), an indirect calorimetry system specifically designed to measure energy expenditure in nonlaboratory settings. The center of pressure was recorded using a balance board (Wii; Nintendo Co., Ltd., Kyoto, Japan). A vibratory stimulus was applied alternately to two muscles by fixing two vibrators from the vibration device onto the participant's gastrocnemius and lumbar multifidus muscle. These findings show that an assessment affecting postural control under proprioceptive stimulation might be a good indicator of elderly people. Also, the objective assessment of walking efficiency might be important for identifying the risk of external activity limitation or functional limitations among the late elderly.

“…COP excursion was recorded using a balance board (Wii; Nintendo Co., Ltd., Kyoto, Japan) [5,[16][17][18][23][24][25]. Balance board data were acquired using a sampling frequency of 100 Hz and calculated using MATLAB (MathWorks, Inc., Natick, MA, USA).…”

“…Each subject's COP excursion was measured under six conditions, that is, two muscles × three frequencies of vibratory stimulation: 1 LM. The measurement time was 30 s, which was divided into two intervals of 15 s each [5,[16][17][18]. Vibratory stimulation was applied to the participants during the last 15 s. We labeled the first 15 s as "Pre" and the last 15 s as "During."…”

“…The relationship between back muscle strength and the adaptive proprioception and mechanoreceptor responses to changing vibratory stimulations has not yet been clearly established. Local vibration, which is known to be a strong stimulus for Meissner corpuscles, muscle spindles, and Vater-Pacini corpuscles, has been used to assess the role of proprioception or mechanoreceptors in postural control [5][6][7][8][9][10][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22]. Investigating the specific role of proprioception and mechanoreceptors during stimulation is essential to gain insight into the variability of postural control strategies and the possible relationship between impaired proprioception or mechanoreceptors and back muscle strength.…”

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between back muscle strength and proprioception or mechanoreceptor control strategies used for postural balance in elderly adults with lumbar spondylosis. The displacement of the center of pressure (COP) excursion was determined in 24 elderly adults with lumbar spondylosis and 24 healthy young adults while the participants were standing upright on a balance board with their eyes closed. Vibratory stimulations of 30, 60, and 240 Hz were applied to the gastrocnemius (GS) and lumbar multifidus (LM) muscles to evaluate the effect of different proprioceptive signals on postural control. Back muscle strength was evaluated. Spearman’s rank correlation analysis was performed to determine the relationship between back muscle strength and significant COP excursion. Compared with young adults, elderly adults with lumbar spondylosis showed an increase in COP excursion displacement when a vibratory stimulation of 240 Hz was applied to the GS (P = 0.002) and LM muscles (P < 0.001). LM stimulation at 240 Hz was significantly associated with back muscle strength (P = 0.038). Postural control assessment with 240-Hz mechanoreceptor stimulation of the trunk could be a good indicator of postural instability due to over-dependence on mechanoreceptors and back muscle weakness in elderly adults with lumbar spondylosis.
