研究有助釐清腰大肌僵硬與下背痛之間可能的雙向關係
患有慢性下背痛的頂尖運動員,其腰大肌僵硬度較高,且與運動功能障礙有關。
理大康復治療科學系副系主任及洪克協痛症管理教授符少娥及其研究團隊,對精英體操及武術運動員進行研究,探討腰大肌的機械特性尤其是其僵硬度,是否與慢性下背痛有關。
該研究的結果顯示,腰大肌僵硬與慢性下背痛之間可能存在雙向關係:腰肌張力增加會導致與運動相關的功能障礙,而慢性疼痛則會影響神經肌肉控制,繼而進一步增加腰大肌僵硬度。此項研究有助釐清兩者之間的關係,並能協助運動員打破這個惡性循環。

Elite athletes with chronic low back pain (LBP) display higher psoas major (PM) stiffness tied to sport dysfunction.
Prof. Amy Siu Ngor FU, Associate Head (Rehabilitation Sciences) and Peter Hung Professor in Pain Management of the Department of Rehabilitation Sciences at PolyU, and her research team investigated whether the mechanical properties of the PM muscle—particularly its stiffness—are associated with chronic LBP in elite gymnastics and wushu athletes.
The research findings suggest a possible two-way relationship between PM stiffness and LBP: increased psoas tension may lead to sport-related dysfunction, while chronic pain can alter neuromuscular control and further increase PM stiffness. This study helps clarify the relationship and can help athletes break the vicious cycle.
