ABSTRACT
Background: there were emitted 13 371 invalidity opinion reports in Jalisco during 2008 about lumbar spine injuries; most of them were permanent and require evaluation of lumbar capabilities. The objective was to evaluate the functionality of the lumbar spine through the Oswestry questionnaire and isokinetic evaluation in pensioners with lumbar injury.Methods: a comparative study on 20 workers with disability status of lumbar injury was done. Isokinetic exercises to identify musculoskeletal capacity and the Oswestry questionnaire to know the percentage of disability were applied.
Results: Oswestry questionnaire showed 60 % average on lumbar spine functionality. A peak torque average was 44 Nw on the assessing isokinetic extension. Mean and mode of zero in fatigue at work were estimated. The flexion peak torque was –75.5 Nw. The average and mode power were 40 V. Both the mean and mode work fatigue were zero.
Conclusions: it was confirmed disability in workers performing anyone could achievement a normal isokinetic test.
