Reduced lumbar lordosis angle is a significant independent factor for paraspinal muscle atrophy in preoperative lumbar spinal stenosis and lumbar disk herniation patients.
Practitioners should consider lumbar lordosis angle when assessing risk for muscle atrophy in these patients.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
Lower body mass index and reduced lumbar lordosis angle were significant independent factors for muscle atrophy.
Why this rating
Based on the retrospective cohort study design involving 225 patients.
