Abstract
Background and Purpose: In this study we showed a comparison between two methods of measuring the back function, because it is still unclear exactly what the back function tests actually measure. Back lifting and extension tests (isometric back extension endurance) are commonly used methods in judgment of work ability and rehabilitation. Some new devices (isokinetic apparatus) are now in us,e which could help in the more descriptive judgment of human back mechanical capacity. Material and Methods: Previous isometric measurements that we have done earlier, were used as a control group of data, but they referred to the measuring of lumbal moments which depended on pulling forces, and inclination of the trunk, as well as the age of subjects. Results: New isokinetic devices incorporate what we call today active dynamometry. In such devices servo motors and microprocessors have transformed early machines into fast and dynamic tools offering instant data analysis and reproducibility. This change in the fundamental data collection process finally sparked large scale interest in isokinetic testing. Conclusion: Using this method we found that it was possible to get results on which performance is mainly influenced by heredity and behavioral factors, i.e. it assesses the physical capacity for lifting, which means that it may prove difficult to alter isokinetic lifting capacity by interventions, thus indicating that behavioral factors may play more influential roles.
