Jee, Y.S., Yoon, J.H., Im, J.H. Establishment of rehabilitative object through the differences of lumbar extension strength & subjective pain degrees between chronic low back pain patients and normal group. Excise Science, 12(2): 319-330, 2003. The purpose of this study was to manifest the differences of lumbar extension strength and subjective pain degrees between chronic low back pain patients and normal group. The subjects were total 94. They were 44 patients(male 24, female 20) and 50 comparative healthy men (male 23, female 27). We got the results of subjective pain degree using the modified visual analogue scale(MVAS) and measured the maximal isometric lumbar strength of all subjects using MedX lumbar extension machine(Ocala, FL). Results were as followed: The chronic low back pain patients` groups included males and females had lower lumbar extension strength than that of normal control groups included males and females. The statistical significant(p＜.01) differences were manifested in 0˚, 12˚, 24˚, 36˚, 48˚, 60˚ and 72˚ angles. The chronic low back pain patients` groups included males and females had higher subjective pain degree than that of normal control groups included males and females. The statistical significant(p＜.01, p＜.05) differences were manifested in 15 questionnaires. As a conclusions, when planning the lumbar rehabilitation program for LBP patients, f should be favorable to measure the lumbar extension strength and MVAS. Also if the program is progressing, the improvement objective of lumbar extension strength should be 27%~48% in male and 31%~44% in female.
