Filter by:To examine for differences in contraction thickness of the transversus abdominis muscle in symptomatic subjects with mechanical lower back pain following the application of dry needling to the lumbar multifidus muscles.
The study was conducted to the following purposes 1. To investigate the effect of lumbar mobilization on muscle activity in postpartum mechanical low back pain. 2. To investigate the effect of lumbar mobilization on pain intensity in postpartum mechanical low back pain patients. 3. To investigate the effect lumbar mobilization on functional disability in postpartum mechanical low back pain patients. 4. To compare between the effects of lumbar mobilization, tactile stimulation (placebo treatment) and traditional treatment in postpartum mechanical low back pain patients.
The primary objective of this study is to compare the efficacy of two different exercise programs for the reduction of pain and disability in a specific subgroup of NSLBP patients and aims to investigate the additive effect of hip stabilization exercises. The investigators hypothesize that the combined local (segmental) stabilizer and hip stabilizer program (T2) will be more effective in reducing pain and disability in NSLBP patients compared to the local (segmental) stabilizer program (T1).
Lower back pain is one of the most common conditions affecting humans. Lower back supports are a common device used in order to alleviate the pain. All the available back supports are wrapped around the lower back and abdomen and act as static support devices. "The hug" is a new dynamic back support where the participant actively improves his/her posture and strengthens the muscle of the lower back. This trial compares both devices and their effect on reducing lower back pain.
The most common work-related injury in British Columbia every year is a lower back injury. The many different treatment options that are available to workers with a back injury have often led to confusion and frustration. New back pain research has shown which combinations of treatments are most helpful, but has also shown that many injured workers in British Columbia do not have these treatments made readily available to them. This research study is designed to accurately determine whether or not providing patients suffering from acute back injuries with a combination of all of these recommended treatments, will improve their function, quality of life and return to work.
