Clinical Trial Summary

Identification of the effects of low back pain and motor control influence on soccer players performance.

Description:

At least 60 volunteer athletes who playing soccer at least 3 years, not away from field more than 2 weeks, 16 years and older are planned to include this study. All participating athletes in this study will be signed an informed consent form then their demographic information will be recorded. To evaluate disability due to low back pain, musculoskeletal problems and the willingness to participate in sports will be used the Oswestry Disability index, the Nordic Musculoskeletal System questionnaire and the Sport Motivation Scale-2, respectively. The motor control levels of the athletes will be assessed with the motor control test battery (MKTB), the core stability with the Sahrmann's core stability test, core muscles endurance with the sport-specific endurance plank test and side bridge endurance test, the static balance with the stand stork test, the dynamic balance with the lower quadrant y balance test, postural changes with the Corbin Posture Rating Scale, the agility with the T test, speed and coordination with 4-10 shuttle run test, explosive force with long jump test, the kinetic chain with the functional movement screen.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Motor control disorder	Motor control test battery: the test consists of ten different tests (forward bend, return from forward bend, sitting forward lean,sitting knee extension, pelvic tilt, one leg stance,side bending, rocking forward, prone knee flexion, hip abduction).Whether the total score increases, the motor control disorders increase.	baseline
Primary	Core stability	Sharmann's core stability test	baseline
Primary	Core muscles endurance	Sport-specific endurance plank test, right and left side bridge endurance test	baseline
Primary	Static balance	Stand Stork test	baseline
Primary	Dynamic balance	Lower quadrant y balance test	baseline
Primary	Agility	T test	baseline
Primary	Speed and coordination	4-10 Shuttle run test	baseline
Primary	Explosive power	Standing long jump test	baseline
Primary	Kinetic chain	Functional movement screen	baseline
Secondary	Nordic Musculoskeletal System Questionnaire	Evaluates the musculoskeletal system problem. If the athlete indicate a musculoskeletal problem different than low back pain, it will use for screening.	baseline
Secondary	Sport Motivation Scale-2	Evaluates willingness to participate in sports. The scale has 6 subparameters indicating sport motivation levels is high or low.	baseline
Secondary	Oswestry Disability Index	Evaluate disability due to low back pain. the index measures perceived low back pain related dysfunction. Whether the total score increaeses, the dyscfunction increases.	baseline
Secondary	Postural changes	Corbin Posture Rating Scale. Whether the total score increaeses, thepostural problems increases.	baseline
