ABSTRACT:
Osteoporotic vertebral fractures (OVFs) are prevalent among adults with osteoporosis. Alteration in back extensor muscle function may be one of the predisposing factors of OVFs. It is vital to identify the relationship of back extensor muscle (BEM) function and OVFs to facilitate clinical management. This review presents the current understanding of a relationship between OVFs and BEM function included BEM strength, architecture, endurance and motor recruitment. After screening and limiting the search for age, and kind of BEM function and spine morphology, 33 articles were identified using PubMed, Medline, Sciences Direct, Springer link and a review of reference lists. An association between osteoporotic vertebral fractures and decline in BEM function was existed but not directly. Further prospective and larger randomized control trial of research on BEM function and OVFs are required to ensure an efficient clinical management.
