Filter by:Participants will perform movements while receiving different visual cues. Spinal kinematics will be measured during these movements and compared between asymptomatic and CLBP participants. Participants will come for a unique session.
A Pressure Release Technique will be test in patient with low back pain compared to a sham
The variabilities in the management approaches for patients with LBP reflect uncertainty about the optimal approach. Therefore, there is a need for the implementation of early treatment strategies relying on an evidence-based knowledge to treat the problems and reduce the risk for recurrence and chronicity of LBP. Advice is considered as the 'first in line' for the treatment of patients with LBP and is recommended in all international guidelines, yet it is under-utilized by the general practitioners. The current evidence in favor for the advice of staying active for patients with LBP is limited, with small or no benefits in pain relief, functional improvement or sick leave compared to rest in bed. Consequently, there is a huge gap between the evidence and practice. So, the current study aimed at filling this gap and expanding the previous findings by investigating the effect of the advice of staying active on the level of perceived pain, physical activity level, postural control and functional disability in patients with low risk LBP (with a total score of three or less based on the STarT Back Tool score).
The objective of this clinical trial is to evaluate the additional effects of Laser Therapy in participants with chronic non-specific low back pain in the short and long term.
The objective of this study is to verify whether the combined approach (osteopathic manipulative treatment -OMT- and cognitive training -CT) is more effective in the long term than the individual approaches (OMT or CT) in patients with chronic lumbar pain, evaluating the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) and the Rolland-Morris Disability Questionnaire (RMDQ) questionnaire
Low back pain (LBP) is an important musculoskeletal problem that causes clinical, social and economic losses. LBP, which affects approximately 85% of the lifetime population, becomes chronic LBP in 23% of individuals lasting 3 months or more. Although there are various forms of LBP, the most common form is non-specific low back pain (NSLBP). There are no specific and definable pathologies in NSLBP such as a history of spinal surgery, presence of neurological deficit, facet joint problem, disc herniation and sacroiliac joint dysfunction. Biodex Balance System (Biodex Medical Systems, Shirley, NY) (BBS) is a device used for objective evaluation of static and dynamic balance, allowing free movement in mediolateral and anteroposterior directions. The validity-reliability studies of the BBS were conducted in various populations including active, non-active, young adult and geriatric individuals, and individuals with ankle sprains. The validity-reliability study of individuals with NSLBP was reported by Sherafat et al. has a strong-excellent correlation with four-square step test, timed-up-and-go test, Berg Balance Scale, and single leg stance test. Studies have emphasized the use of BBS in geriatric individuals with NSLBP, but no data on the cut-off scores of this system have been found. The determination of a cut-off score with high sensitivity and specificity is thought to be beneficial for detecting deterioration in functional status in geriatric individuals with NSLBP. Therefore, the aim of our study is to determine BBS cut-off scores in geriatric individuals with NSLBP.
Although various methods have been emphasized in the treatment of chronic low back pain (CLBP), one of the treatments with the highest level of evidence is tailor-made exercises. Exercises to improve lumbopelvic region muscle performance and proprioception have been reported to be effective in alleviating clinical symptoms in individuals with CLBP. Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) techniques are frequently used in the treatment of CLBP. PNF techniques reduce the load on vertebral bodies when performed in supine, side-lying, and sitting positions. It has been reported that performing a PNF trunk pattern in a sitting position is effective for treating CLBP and it improves muscle endurance, flexibility, and functional performance. PNF lower extremity pattern training in a supine position is effective for abdominal muscle activation. There is also an improvement in pain, functional disability, and fear-avoidance belief by applying the PNF coordination pattern in a standing position. While the diaphragm effect was emphasized in individuals with CLBP, no studies examining the effect of PNF techniques used on CLBP treatment on diaphragm muscle thickness were found. In addition, studies investigating the effect of PNF techniques on pain, functional disability index, range of motion and waist muscle endurance were found to be insufficient. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of PNF techniques on related variables in individuals with CLBP.
We wiil evaluate the efficiency of adding kinesio taping (KT) therapy to dry needling (DN) therapy on pain, functionality and depression parameters in 60 patients with nonspecific chronic low back pain (nCLBP).
The purpose of this research study is to examine the effects of physical therapy on the spinal discs. Back pain is the number one cause of disability in the US, and the spine is the most common location of chronic pain in Veterans. Physical therapy is often very effective at improving patients' back pain, but it does not work for everyone, and it is not understood how physical therapy alters the tissues within the spine. With this research the investigators hope to learn if the investigative team can measure changes to the spinal discs on MRI scans that might predict if a patient's back pain will improve with physical therapy or not.
Protocols in which pain neuroscience education is combined with physical exercise have shown recently greater effectiveness in the treatment of low back pain in comparison to protocols based only on one of the two approaches. The professional caregiver has a high incidence of low back pain related to the specific aspects of this collection with the low physical condition, the typical tasks performed and other psychosocial aspects. Individual characteristics of these caregivers may condition the effectiveness of the therapy as well as demographic aspects or the alliance between patient and physiotherapist. The aim of this study is to determine the influence of certain health determinants on the effectiveness of a therapy that combines pain neuroscience education and motor control training from a neurocognitive perspective on chronic low back pain in a population of professional caregivers in Bages, analyzing the reduction of low back pain, the improvement of functionality, the reduction of muscle movement and the improvement of muscle coordination. It will be a quasi-experimental pre-post design, prospective, with a control group, lasting 3 months. The intervention will be performed using a sample of professional caregivers, and the data will be collected before the intervention, at the end of the intervention, and 3-6 months after the intervention. Pain, functionality, conducts of fear/avoidance, and muscular coordination will be analyzed
