This study analyzed posture, spinal sagittal mobility, and subjective back problems in former female elite gymnasts in comparison with matched control subjects. The former gymnasts had less thoracic kyphosis than the control subjects. No difference in thoracic range of motion was found. In the lumbar spine there was no difference as to either posture or sagittal motion. The former gymnasts did not report a higher frequency of current back problems. In the former gymnasts 27% had subjective back problems. In the control subjects the corresponding value was 38%. We did not find any correlation between posture or range of motion and subjective rating of back problems in either of the groups. In conclusion, former female elite gymnasts did not have more back problems than an age matched control group.
本研究分析了前女子优秀体操运动员的姿势、脊柱矢状面活动度和主观背部问题，并与匹配的对照组进行比较。前体操运动员的胸椎后凸比对照组小。未发现胸椎活动范围有差异。腰椎在姿势或矢状面运动方面均无差异。前体操运动员报告当前背部问题的频率并不更高。在前体操运动员中，27%有主观背部问题。在对照组中，相应的值为38%。我们在两组中均未发现姿势或活动范围与背部问题主观评分之间存在任何相关性。总之，前女子优秀体操运动员的背部问题并不比年龄匹配的对照组多。
