Filter by:Purpose: To determine the immediate effect of myofascial release application on pain, flexibility and trunk mobility in chronic low back pain (CLBP). Materials and methods: Forty patients with CLBP participated in this experimental study. Participants were grouped in randomized control. Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) was used for pain assessment. Sit-Reach Test for flexibility evaluation and Straight Leg Raising Test with goniometric measurement for hamstring flexibility were used. Modified Schober Test was applied to evaluate trunk mobility. Comparison of the pre- and post-treatment evaluation data of the individuals in the same group was made using the "Wilcoxen Sum Rank Test", one of the non-parametric tests. Comparison of pre- and post-treatment evaluation data of both groups was performed using the non-parametric evaluation "Mann-Whitney U Test".
The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of dance therapy on balance, falling, body awareness and functionality parameters in patients with chronic low back pain. As a result of our study, it is thought that dance therapy will positively affect balance, falling, body awareness and functionality in patients with chronic low back pain compared to conventional therapy. H 1: Dance therapy improves balance in women with chronic low back pain. H 2: Dance therapy reduces the risk of falling in women with chronic low back pain. H 3: Dance therapy increases body awareness in women with chronic low back pain. H 4: Dance therapy increases functionality in women with chronic low back pain. H 5: Dance therapy provides more improvement in the parameters investigated compared to conventional therapy in women with chronic low back pain.
A randomized single-blind clinical study will be performed. A sample size of 34 patients including only male gender, will be taken from various clinical settings of Faisalabad. Non-probability purposive sampling technique will be used. Patients will be randomly allocated into two groups. Treatment Group A will perform Conventional Physical Therapy and Diaphragm Manual Therapy and Group B will perform Conventional Physical Therapy and Sham Diaphragm Manual Therapy. Numerical Pain Rating Scale and lumbar range of motion scores will be assessed at pre-treatment, 2nd-week post-treatment and 4th-week post-treatment. Oswestry Disability Index scores and Short Form 12 Health Survey Questionnaire will be assessed at pre-treatment and 4th-week post-treatment. Statistical analysis will be performed on Statistical Package for the Social Sciences Version 25.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of segmental control exercises program on hamstring peak torque, pain, function, and ROM in patients with non-specific low back pain.
The purpose of the current research project is to examine if the healthcare professionals (HCPs) knowledge, attitudes, beliefs and behavior about the management of low back pain (LBP) patients changes following an e-learning intervention (experimental interactive e-learning versus traditional non-interactive e-learning)
The aim of the study is determine the effects of lumbopelvic manipulation on fatigue, pain and disability in chronic low back pain patients. In this randomised clinical trial, lumbopelvic manipulation group was compared with conventional therapy group. Tools used in the study are numeric pain rating scale ,oswestry low back pain index and rating of fatigue scale.
Non-specific low back pain can be caused by the presence of active trigger points in the muscles of the lumbopelvic region. Trigger points are defined as hypersensitive points within a taut band of a musculoskeletal system that cause pain during contraction, stretching, or stimulation of said muscle. If these points are active, they can trigger referred pain, local tenderness, and vegetative responses. There is scientific evidence of the improvement of the treatment of these points through non-invasive manual techniques. The objective of this study will be to determine the effect of Strain Counterstrain and Myofascial Induction techniques in subjects with low back pain secondary to the presence of active trigger points in the lumbopelvic region. Hyperexcitable myofascial trigger points located within a taut band of skeletal muscle or fascia cause referred pain, local tenderness, and autonomic changes. The scientific data refer to an immediate improvement in the symptoms of these active points treated with manual therapy. Based on these factors, the objective of the study is to determine the effect of the combined therapy of the Strain Counterstrain technique and Myofascial Induction in participants with the presence of an active trigger point in the erector spinae muscle.
This study is a randomized clinical trial to determine the effects of myofascial release therapy versus endurance training of trunk extensor muscles on pain, disability and muscle endurance in patients with mechanical back pain. A sample of 24 patients will be taken and divided into two groups each with 12 patients. Group A will receive myofascial release therapy and conventional physical therapy while group B will endurance training of trunk extensors and the conventional physical therapy protocol. The conventional physical therapy protocol will include a hot pack, back care advice, and postural modifications. The session will be around 40 to 45 min for each patient with four sessions per week. A total of four-week treatment regime will be given to the patients and assessment of the patient's pain, disability, and endurance with NPRS (numeric pain rating scale), Rolland Morris Disability Questionnaire and Sorenson Test will be done at the baseline, after the completion of treatment at pre interventional and post interventional to observe the long-term effects. The data will be analyzed using SPSS.
Chronic low back pain (CLBP) is a leading disability globally. Exercise therapies are one of the most commonly prescribed treatment options for CLBP. Specific breathing techniques have been shown to enhance brain-based pain modulation and autonomic nervous system balance; these changes have been shown to improve clinical effectiveness in terms of pain management and psychological factors compared to general exercise. However, no previous studies have added a specific breathing technique protocol to an evidence-based exercise program for CLBP.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of a Pilates exercise program (PEP) on the flexo-relaxation ratio (FRR) of the erector spinae (ES) muscle during standing maximal trunk flexion/extension in women with chronic low-back pain (LBP). A secondary goal is to investigate the effect of PEP on full trunk flexion ROM (TFRoM), pain intensity and functional capacity and analyse their relationship with the FRR.
