Özet

Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between spinopelvic parameters and health-related quality of life. Methods: Patients with Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) were asked to volunteer to participate in this study from April 2018 to December 2019. Patient data, including age, sex, body mass index (BMI), and duration of the diagnosis of FSHD were obtained. Short Form (SF-36) questionnaire was completed for all patients. All patients underwent lateral radiography of the whole spine. The radiographic parameters examined were pelvic tilt (PT), pelvic incidence (PI), sacral slope (SS), lumbar lordosis (LL), cervical lordosis (CL), T1 spinopelvic inclination (T1 SPI), thoracic kyphosis (TK), Pelvic incidence– lumbar lordosis (PI-LL) and sagittal vertical axis (SVA). Results: Thirty-seven patients (16 females and 21 males) were included in the study, with a mean age of 39.1 years. The mean duration of diagnosis was 13.5 ± 11.4 years and mean BMI was 24.2 kg/m2. Physical composite score (PCS) was 38.7 and mental composite score (MCS) 60.8 detected. Radiographic analyses included the following: the mean PT was 9.1°, PI 52.1°, SS 43.5°, LL 67.9°, CL 9.8°, T1 SPI -2.5°, TK 23.1°, SVA 37.6 mm. PI-LL was −13.1°. We identified 31 patients with match (left) PI-LL and six patients with mismatch (right) PI-LL. Conclusion: Hyperlordosis inlumbar spine, hypolordosis in cervical spine and negative sagittal balance were the most common spinal misalignments in patients with FSHD. These patients have lower composite PCS than composite MCS. There was a significantly negative correlation between LL, PI-LL and PCS. Level of evidence: Level IV Cross-sectional study.
