Résumé
Surgical treatment has been increasingly performed in Hirayama disease (HD) patients to limit excessive neck flexion and restore cervical lordosis. However, postoperative recurrence of cervical lordosis loss may restart the progress of HD. Many studies have demonstrated a relationship between neck muscle strength and cervical lordosis, and it is widely accepted that leisure-time physical activity (LTPA) can increase muscle strength. However, there are few reports about the correlation between LTPA and maintenance of postoperative cervical curvature. To quantify the cervical lordosis and motor function before and after operation in HD patients and to analyze the impact of postoperative LTPA levels on the changes in these measurements. C2-7 Cobb were measured in 91 HD patients before, 2-5 days and approximately 2 years after operation. Motor unit number estimation (MUNE) and handgrip strength (HGS) were performed in all patients before and approximately 2 years after operation, and both cross-sectional area and fatty infiltration of posterior cervical muscles were measured in 62 patients. Long-form international Physical Activity Questionnaire and its different domains was administered to all patients at postoperative 2-year assessments. The C2-7 Cobb was larger immediately and approximately 2 years after operation than that at preoperative assessment (P < 0.05). The preoperative to postoperative change in C2-7 Cobb was associated with postoperative changes in the symptomatic-side HGS and bilateral MUNE measurements (P < 0.05). Importantly, the patients performing LTPA had greater improvements in C2-7 Cobb from immediate to approximately 2 years after operation and greater C2-7 Cobb at last follow-up than those without LTPA, and postoperative improvements in both symptomatic-side MUNE measurements and symptomatic-side HGS were also greater in the former than in the latter (P < 0.05). Postoperative LTPA has a positive effect on recovery/maintenance of cervical lordosis after operation, which may alleviate the motor unit loss of distal upper limbs in HD patients. Therefore, postoperative LTPA may be beneficial for postoperative rehabilitation or early conservative treatment of HD patients.

BACKGROUND
BACKGROUND
Surgical treatment has been increasingly performed in Hirayama disease (HD) patients to limit excessive neck flexion and restore cervical lordosis. However, postoperative recurrence of cervical lordosis loss may restart the progress of HD. Many studies have demonstrated a relationship between neck muscle strength and cervical lordosis, and it is widely accepted that leisure-time physical activity (LTPA) can increase muscle strength. However, there are few reports about the correlation between LTPA and maintenance of postoperative cervical curvature.
OBJECTIVE
OBJECTIVE
To quantify the cervical lordosis and motor function before and after operation in HD patients and to analyze the impact of postoperative LTPA levels on the changes in these measurements.
METHODS
METHODS
C2-7 Cobb were measured in 91 HD patients before, 2-5 days and approximately 2 years after operation. Motor unit number estimation (MUNE) and handgrip strength (HGS) were performed in all patients before and approximately 2 years after operation, and both cross-sectional area and fatty infiltration of posterior cervical muscles were measured in 62 patients. Long-form international Physical Activity Questionnaire and its different domains was administered to all patients at postoperative 2-year assessments.
RESULTS
RESULTS
The C2-7 Cobb was larger immediately and approximately 2 years after operation than that at preoperative assessment (P < 0.05). The preoperative to postoperative change in C2-7 Cobb was associated with postoperative changes in the symptomatic-side HGS and bilateral MUNE measurements (P < 0.05). Importantly, the patients performing LTPA had greater improvements in C2-7 Cobb from immediate to approximately 2 years after operation and greater C2-7 Cobb at last follow-up than those without LTPA, and postoperative improvements in both symptomatic-side MUNE measurements and symptomatic-side HGS were also greater in the former than in the latter (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSIONS
CONCLUSIONS
Postoperative LTPA has a positive effect on recovery/maintenance of cervical lordosis after operation, which may alleviate the motor unit loss of distal upper limbs in HD patients. Therefore, postoperative LTPA may be beneficial for postoperative rehabilitation or early conservative treatment of HD patients.
