Objectives. - To describe muscle parameters in healthy teenagers and compare them to teenagers with chronic low back pain. Methods. - A comparative study of 276 control teenagers and 51 teenagers with chronic low back pain (CLBP), benefiting from a specific treatment, 14.5 years average age. The control group is made up of teenagers without back pain and teenagers who reported some back pain when we asked them, but without specific treatment. The results to four static tests assessing trunk flexors, trunk extensors, hip extensors and quadriceps endurance are statistically compared. In the control group, associations between different clinical measures and possible back pain are looked for. Results. - The two groups are homogeneous, concerning age, weight, standing height, sitting height and BMI (p > 0,05). Low back pain is more common in girls, either in the control group (n = 48; 69% of girls) or in the group with CLBP (n = 51; 78%). CLBP is associated with a poor endurance strength of the trunk extensors (median: 2 min 31 s in the control group to 1 min 45 s in the CLBP), with hip extensors weakness (median: 2 min 20 s in the control group to 1 min 24 s in the CLBP), and with quadriceps weakness (median: 2 min 39 s in the control group to 1 min 20 s in the CLBP), (p p = 0.000). No significant difference was found between trunk flexors endurance in the two groups (median: 2 min 11s in the control group to 2 min 13 s in the CLBP). In the control group, 48 teenagers reported b |
