Abstract

This review examines the current evidence for associations between vertebral fractures (VFx), the most common type of fracture in older adults, and trunk muscles, which are intimately tied to spinal loading and function. Individuals with prevalent VFxs have more fat infiltration in the trunk muscles, lower trunk extension strength, and altered muscle activation patterns. However, no longitudinal studies have examined whether assessment of trunk muscle can contribute to prediction of fracture risk. A few studies report that exercise interventions targeting the trunk muscles can reduce the risk of VFx, improve trunk strength and endurance in patients who have had a VFx, and reduce the risk of falling, a common cause of VFx, but the quality of evidence is low. Trunk muscles likely have an important role to play in prediction, prevention, and management of VFx, but additional longitudinal studies and randomized controlled trials are needed to clarify this role.

Showed that fat infiltration of back extensor muscle was associated with VFx independent of age, BMD, and spino-pelvic postural measures.

PLoS One. 2014;9(10):e109515. This cross-sectional study assessed trunk muscle EMG in older adults with and without VFx. VFx subjects presented more co-contraction of agonist and antagonist trunk muscles during forward arm movements, and lower extensor activation during backward arm movements, which may represent attempts to increase stability and reduce spinal loading, respectively. This supports the need to further study how neuromuscular control may relate to VFx prediction, prevention and management.CrossRefPubMedPubMedCentral

J Gerontol Med Sci. 2015. doi:10.1093/gerona/glv185. This study is the first to assess the relationship of baseline CT-based trunk muscle size and density measurements with incident falls during a median 2 years follow up. While higher trunk muscle density was cross-sectionally associated with reduced postural sway in both sexes at baseline, it was not prognostic of incident falls, but larger muscle size at baseline was associated with increased postural sway for both sexes, and with a greater likelihood of falling in men. This somewhat unexpected finding highlights the complex but likely important relationship between trunk muscle and balance and falls.

A systematic review of the benefits and harms of exercise interventions in post-VFx individuals identified seven randomized controlled trials with 488 participants. Five of the seven directly targeted trunk muscles, and while some trials reported beneficial effects of exercise in VFx patients, variability in outcomes prevented much pooling of results. This review notes that overall quality of evidence is low, and that no studies to date have assessed incident falls, incident VFx, or other adverse events. Thus this strongly supports the need for high quality randomized controlled trials to assess the safety and efficacy of exercise for VFx prevention and management.
