Correlation and risk factor analysis of multifidus muscle atrophy in degenerative lumbar spondylolisthesis
DLS patients exhibit MMA, with more pronounced atrophy at the spondylolisthesis-affected segment. Age, BMI, and osteoporosis are independent risk factors for MMA progression in DLS patients. Clinically, it is crucial to identify and monitor high-risk patients with these factors and implement early preventive and therapeutic interventions to mitigate disease progression.
