Objectives: This study was undertaken to examine changes in lumbar isometric extensor strength after posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) surgery. Summary of Literature Review: In most reports, the patients that have undergone PLIF surgery have been shown to have muscle weakness and atrophy. However, the research conducted regarding the changes in muscle strength throughout a follow up period is insufficient. Materials and Methods: Forty-nine patients (mean age, 65 years (range, 45 to 77)), scheduled for posterior lumbar interbody fusion due to symptomatic degenerative diseases, were enrolled. Preoperatively and 3, 6, and 12 month after surgery, lumbar isometric extensor strength was assessed using a MedX instrument in 7 angular positions (0-72 ). The mean isometric strength and rate of increase were calculated. Isometric strengths were compared according to patients age (<60, 60-70, and 70 years) and fusion level (short: <3; and long: 3) and the respective relationships were analyzed. Results: The mean isometric strength changed from 89.0 preoperatively to 85.3, 110.4, and ft-lb at each follow-up, respectively. The rate of increase of strength was significantly greater at 0 (36.1 %) than at 72 (24.2 %) (p=0.019). Preoperative isometric strengths were similar in each age and fusion level group, but isometric strengths at the final follow-up were significantly lower in older patients and in the long level fusion group (p=0.002 and 0.043, respectively). Mean isometric strength at the last follow-up showed significant associations with age and fusion level (r= and , p=0.002 and 0.030, respectively). Conclusion: After lumbar fusion surgery, back muscle strength slightly decreased until 3 months and then significantly increased. However, postoperative strength increases were lower in older patients and those in the long level (>3) fusion group. These results could be basic data for a rehabilitation program after lumbar fusion.

Analogue Scale: VAS) 설문지와요부의기능적평가를위해오스웨스트리장애지수 (Oswestry Disability Index: ODI) 설문지를작성하였다. 요부신전근력측정요부신전근력검사는등척성 (isometric) 원리를이용하여제작된요부신전운동기기 (MedX lumbar extension, MedX, USA) 을이용하여수술전, 수술후 3개월, 6개월, 12개월에걸쳐총 4 회실시하였다. 각검사는요부의관절가동범위인 72 내에서 12 간격으로모두일곱가지각도 (72, 60, 48, 36, 24, 12, 0 ) 에서측정하였다. 모든환자는검사전검사에대한충분한설명을듣고검사시요부의급성좌상 (strain) 을예방하기위해요부의충분한준비운동을실시하도록하였다. 피검자의자세는장비의프로토콜에맞추어대퇴와골반부위를고정시키고검사시최대근력을발현하기시키기위해 3초간등뒤에있는저항패드에힘을주도록한다 (Fig. 1). 정점에서 1초를버티고 3초간천천히저항을없애는방법으로실시한다. 각각도별휴식시간은요부의근피로를줄이기위해서 10초동안실시하였다. 최대요부신전근력발현을위해서검사간피검자에게모니터를보게하여피드백을주었으며검사자는구두로환자에게동기부여를주었다. 검사의신뢰성을위해서모든검사는한명의운동처방사가실시하였다. 설문조사본연구에서요부통증정도를알아보기위해서시각사상척도 (VAS, 0-10) 을이용하였으며 VAS 는눈금이표시되어있지않는막대위에환자가느끼고있는통증의강도를표시하게한후시작점에서표시점까지의거리를측정하여점수화하는방법으 방법본연구는수술전, 수술후 3, 6, 12개월이경과하는시점에서 MedX 장비를이용하여각도별요부신전근력을측정하였다. 주관적통증정도를알아보기위해시각적사상척도 (Visual Fig. 1.

ODI는환자에의해작성되는선다형설문으로일상생활시각각의동작과관련된 10개의항목으로구성되어있고각항목에서는일상생활의장애를 0-5점으로 6 가지단계로기술한다. 각각의항목에서가장심한장애를모두합하면 50점으로 100% 의장애가되고, 장애가전혀없다면 0점으로 0% 의장애가있다는것이다. 자료처리본연구에서얻어진자료는 SAS version 9.1(SAS Institute Inc., Cary, NC, USA) 을사용하였으며모든변인에대한평균과표준편차를제시하였다. 집단간의차이를비교분석을위해 the t-test, Mann-Whitney U-test, paired t-test, Wilcoxon signedrank test, 1-way ANOVA, Kruskal-Wallis test를실시하였다. 또한상관분석을위해서 Pearson s product moment correlation 과 Spearman s rank correlation rho을실시하였다. 통계적유의수준은 p<0.05 로설정하였다. 나타났으며 (p<0.05) 수술후 3개월에는약간의감소를나타냈다. 이러한근력의증가는오직수술후 3개월과 6개월사이에서유의적인변화를나타냈으며 (p<0.001), 수술전과수술후 3개월또는 6개월과 12개월에사이에서는나타나지않았다 (p>0.05) (Fig. 2). 수술후 12개월에서근력의향상은굴곡보다는신전각도에서더크게나타났다. 등척성요부신전근력은수술전과수술후 12개월에서모든각도에서 0 (36.1%), 12 (28.2%), 24 (26.5%), 36 (27.7%), 48 (27.2%), 60 (25.9%), 70 (24.2%) 증가하였다. 0 에서근력의증가율은 72 에서보다더크게나타났다 (p=0.019). 허리를굴곡과신전할때발생하는신전근력 결과 1. 등척성요부신전근력의변화평균등척성요부신전근력은수술전 89.0±23.6 ft-ibs 에서수술후 3, 6, 12개월에서각각 85.3±31.0, 110.4±28.8, 120.8± 27.2 ft-ibs 으로나타났다. 근력은요부의굴곡각도에서더크게 Fig. 2. After lumbar fusion surgery, the isometric strengths were maintained or slightly decreased without significance until 3 months and then increased until 12 months. In particular, significant increases were obseved between at postoperative 3 and 6 months* (p<0.001). The isometric strengths were stronger in higer flexion angular positions. Fig. 3. After lumbar fusion surgery, the mean isometric extension strength increased significantly and the mean ratio of 72 /0 isometric strength decreased significantly, particularly between postoperative 3 and 6 months* (p<0.001 and 0.007, respectively). The mean isometric strength showed a significant negative association with the ratio of 72 /0 isometric strength (r=-0.371, p<0.001). 162

After lumbar fusion sugery, the ODI and VAS for back decreased gradually until postoperative 12 months and significant decreases were obseved between preoperative and at postoperative 3 months* (p=0.045 and 0.022, respectively). 고찰 이연구는요추체간유합술 (PLIF) 후등척성요부신전근력 의변화를본것으로서근력은수술후 3 개월시점에서약간감 소되는변화를보이지만그이후 6 개월까지는의미있는증가를 나타냈다. 수술후근력의증가는모든각도에서나타났으며그 증가율은굴곡보다는신전각도에서더크게나타났다. 병변을 제거함에도불구하고수술후 3 개월시점에서근력이감소된것 은수술중발생되는요부근육의신경제거와손상으로근위축 5), 수술후 3 개월동안보조기를착용으로인한요부의움직임제 한그리고삽입물 (instrumentation) 에대한수동적인경직이그 원인인것으로사료된다. 또한수술 3 개월이후에근력이의미있 는증가를보이는것은보조기없이활동하는시간과개인차에 따라다를수있지만신체활동의증가가영향을미쳤을것으로 판단되며이에대한추후연구가이루어져야할것으로생각된 다. 수술전과비교해볼때 1 년후의등척성요부신전근력은향 상된변화를나타내고있으며 Keller 등 8) 보고한수술후 1 년시 점에서약 20% 가량요부신전근력의감소를보였다는연구내 용과는상반되는결과이다. 이는요부신전근력의평가방법에 있어서측정자세, 힘발현방법이달랐으며연구집단의차이도 영향을미쳤을것으로생각된다. 본연구에서는앉은자세에서 골반을고정하고검사를실시하였으나이전연구에서는선자세 로실시하였다. 또한힘발현방법에있어서도자발적으로 3 초 간최대로힘을주어평가를실시한본연구의방법과는달리장 비의정해진저항 (25% 와 50%) 에대해서최대로버티는힘을평 가하였다. 연구집단에서도후방척추체간유합술환자를대상 으로한이번연구와달리이전연구는척추관협착증환자가대상이므로이에대한결과적차이도있을것이라고생각한다. 아직까지이전연구들에서유합술후 1년시점에서의요부근력의변화에대한의견은다양한것이현실이다. 많은연구에서 14-16) 증상을가진퇴행성질환자의경우요부근력의약화나병소에퇴행성변화를보인다고보고하였기때문에장분절의요부퇴행성질환자가수술전신전근력이더약할것이라고생각했지만단분절과장분절을비교해볼때수술전등척성요부신전근력은의미있는차이를보이지않았다. 하지만, 수술후 12개월에서는장분절과 70세이상환자군에서근력이낮게나타났다. 등척성요부신전근력은환자의나이와유합정도에상관없이증가하지만그증가율은장분절과 70세이상환자군이단분절과 60세이하환자군보다더낮게나타났다. 즉, 환자의나이가많거나유합술을시행한정도가심할수록 1년후근력은낮은것으로나타났다. 이러한결과로볼때수술후요부근력강화운동은단분절과장분절환자모두에게서필요하며특히, 장분절환자에게는수술후통증과기능적회복을위해요부근력강화운동이더욱중요하다고판단된다. 이연구에서는등척성요부신전근력의 72 /0 의비율을분석하였다. 이비율은허리를굴곡과신전시발생하는신전근력의비율을나타내는지수로많은연구에서는건강한사람보다요통을가진환자에게있어그비율이높다고보고하였다. 17,18) 연구결과평균등척성요부신전근력의 72 /0 의비율은 3.23 이며이것은건강한사람을대상으로실시한연구 ( ) 18) 와요통을가진환자들 19.20) 보다더높게나타났다 ( ). 즉, 후방요추체간유합술을실시한환자의경우건강한사람과요통환자와비교할때허리의굴곡과신전각도에서발생하는신전근력간의근력차이는더심하다고볼수있다. 이러한비정상적인요부신전근력의 72 /0 간차이는요통및근육의좌상을일으키는하나의요인이될수있으므로이를예방하기위해서몸통근육의근력강화운동이병행되어야한다는것의저자의의견이다. 게다가유합술후요부의굴곡각도보다는신전각도에서증가율이더크기때문에 72 /0 의비율은수술후 12개월에서감소한다. 또한 72 /0 의평균비율은등척성요부신전근력과의미있는상관관계를가진다. 이연구에서는평균 ODI와 VAS 를통해수술후환자의통증과기능적상태를살펴보았다. 수술후 3개월의평균 ODI와 VAS 는의미있는감소를보였으며 12개월까지점진적으로감소하는양상을보였다. 이러한결과는유합술시행후통증및기능장애가수술후 1년까지조금씩더호전되는양상 ( 수술전 56.5%~ 수술 1년 20.1%) 을보인다고보고한 Cho 등 13) 와같은결과를나타냈다. 수술후감소한 ODI와 VAS 는통증을일으키 164

7 Journal of Korean Society of Spine Surgery Change of Lumbar Muscle Strengths After Posterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion 는병소 (pathologic lesion) 을직접적으로제거함으로써개선된것으로사료된다. 또한 3개월이후의 ODI와 VAS 의의미있는감소는요부신전근력의향상에의한것으로판단되며, 등척성요부신전근력의증가가기능적장애를감소시킨다는 Tarnanen 등 21) 의연구와같은결과를나타낸것이다. 이연구는몇가지제한점을가지고있다. 첫째로, 이연구에서는연구대상자와비교할건강한성인의통제그룹이없다는것이다. 통제그룹과의비교는수술후재활이나요부근력운동에있어서기준을제시하는데도움이되었을것이다. 두번째로, 이연구의 49명의환자는다양한기초적인질환과다른수술을실시하였다. 비록환자의나이와유합정도를비교하였지만이러한차이는수술후결과에영향을미칠것으로사료된다. 세번째로, 연구대상자가모두여성이라는것이다. 이는성별의차이에따른 1년간의추시적결과를볼수없다는것이아쉬운점이다. 이로인해이연구의결과를남성에게도적용시키는것은제한이있다고볼수있다. 마지막으로등척성요부신전근력검사에대한신뢰성연구가이루어지지않았다. 이전의연구에서는요통환자를대상으로실시한등척성근력평가에대한신뢰성보고는있지만후방요추체간유합술을실시한환자를대상으로실시한신뢰성연구는거의없다. 하지만, 연구자는본연구전 20 명을대상으로실시한신뢰성검사에대해서높은신뢰성을확인하였다 (Intraclass correlation coefficient : 0.839). 결론 등척성요부신전근력은수술후 3개월시점에서약간의감소를보이지만수술후 1년까지는점진적증가를보이며요부신전각도에서더의미있게증가한다. 하지만, 수술후근력의증가는나이가많거나장분절환자에게서낮게나타났다. 이연구의결과는후방요추체간유합술후통증감소및기능적향상을요하는환자의요부신전근력과기능적상태를파악하는데기초자료가될것이며근력강화운동을위한재활프로그램을계획하는데있어추시적결과를비교분석하는데도움을줄것으로판단된다.
