Functional
31
P-MRS
was performed in five patients after spinal fusion
during a standardized isometric exercise to evaluate
differences of load induced high energy metabolic
alterations in back muscles close to the fused vertebrae
segments. Compared to healthy subjects, patients showed
stronger PCr depletions during exercise indicating
higher energy demand and thus higher muscle stress
(patients: 61 17 % vs. controls: 37 11 %).
