Correlations of age, height, weight, lordosis, and kyphosis with noninvasive spinal mobility measurements were studied in 301 men and 175 women, aged 35-55 years, who suffered from chronic or recurrent low back pain (LBP). Correlations of the different spinal movements with the degree of LBP were analyzed, with corrections for these relationships. Age had significant indirect correlations with most of the mobility measurements, but the effect of height was minor. Weight had considerable negative correlations with the mobility measurements, except lateral flexion. Lordosis and kyphosis had significant relationships with mobility in the sagittal and frontal planes. Correction for the factors analyzed only slightly reduced the correlations between spinal mobility and LPB. Thoracolumbar mobility had higher correlations with LBP than mobility of the lumbar spine. Thoracal spinal mobility alone also correlated with LBP. Lateral flexion and rotation, except for rotation in women, had stronger relationships than forward flexion and extension with LBP.
对301名男性和175名年龄在35至55岁之间患有慢性或复发性下腰痛（LBP）的女性进行了年龄、身高、体重、脊柱前凸和脊柱后凸与非侵入性脊柱活动度测量之间的相关性研究。分析了不同脊柱运动与下腰痛程度之间的相关性，并对这些关系进行了校正。年龄与大多数活动度测量值存在显著的间接相关性，但身高的影响较小。体重与除侧屈外的活动度测量值存在相当大的负相关性。脊柱前凸和脊柱后凸与矢状面和额状面的活动度存在显著关系。对分析因素进行校正仅略微降低了脊柱活动度与下腰痛之间的相关性。胸腰段活动度与下腰痛的相关性高于腰椎活动度。仅胸段脊柱活动度也与下腰痛相关。除女性旋转外，侧屈和旋转与下腰痛的关系比前屈和后伸更强。
