Effects of Lumbal Lordosis and Thoracic Kyphosis Angles on Muscle Activations

Start date: March 22, 2023
Phase:
Study type: Observational [Patient Registry]

When the thoracic kyphosis and lumbar lordosis are within a normal range of angular values back pain is less likely to occur. Angular modifications in the physiological curvatures of this sagittal plane have been shown to indicate spinal disorders. For instance, increasing lumbar lordosis and thoracic kyphosis result in higher intradiscal pressure, tension in the spine's passive parts, and creep in the lumbar viscoelastic structures. One of the most important factors of human biomechanics, spinal curvatures provide optimal energy expenditure and movement capacity. Abnormal adaptations in thoracic and lumbar spine biomechanics can cause low back and back pain. Multiple spinal segments are covered by the lumbar erector spinae muscle (LES), which is regarded as a superficial back muscle. LES consists of two muscles, the longissimus thoracis and iliocostalis lumborum. To move the lumbar spine, the lumbar erector spinae muscle (LES) is recruited in a manner that depends on the applied force. It was suggested that patients used LES to compensate for laxity in passive ligamentous structures in an attempt to reduce excessive force on the lumbar spine. Excessive lumbopelvic movements and altered muscle activation patterns are common in patients with low back pain. Researchers have investigated the timing of each muscle's onset and the activity of the LES, and found that patients with low back pain had higher LES activation compared to healthy people. Exercises for strengthening the LES muscle have been performed trunk extension during prone position. Strenghening LES and thoracic extansors may lead to decrease or prevent painful spinal disorders, improve thoracic excessive kyphosis and other complications. Prone trunk extension exercises is used to clinically exercise approcah to activate weak and susceptible to fatigue LES muscle in patients with nonspecific low back pain. This exercise lead to not only strentghening but also lengthening and streching these muscles. To fully understand the effects and underliying the mechanism of this exercise, biomechanical changes in lumbopelvic movement patterns of individuals with kyphotic posture should be examined. Based on current evidence, it is not clear the mechanism that the prone trunk extension exercises is effective on different spinal alignment postures as excessive thoracic khyposis and compansation mechanism on lumbal lordosis. Thus findings from this research may guide clinicians to examine the effects of different prone trunk extension exercises on LES muscles activation. Mitani et al showed that different upper extremity postures effects the lumbal multifudis activations during standing. Brown et al indicated that sit-stand workstations do not change muscle activations of lumbar muscles. Muyor et al concluded that spinal aligment of cyclists affects core muscle activity during cyling. Wattananon et al demonstrated that clinicians should focus on muscle activation patterns rather than the amount of lumbopelvic motion during prone hip extension. Based on the current studies, and to optimally address the underlying mechanism that the main objective was to investigate and show the effects of lumbal lordosis and thoracic kyphosis angles on muscle activations during different low back exercises.

NCT ID: NCT04554563 Completed - Low Back Pain Clinical Trials

The Effect of Core Stability Training on Deep Stabilizing Muscles.

Start date: September 12, 2020
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Non-specific low back pain is the most cause of adult disability throughout life. Its prevalence widens in young adults. Background of this pathology can be multifactorial. One of the most common is poor core stability and overloading of the local tissues as a result. Among treatment methods stabilizing training is commonly used with good effects. This form of therapy affects the transverse abdomen and multifidus muscles. To assess these structures several methods can be applied, e.g. sonofeedback. Our hypothesis claims that the core muscles morphology will change over the training process duration, in result, the analgesic effect will be achieved.

The Effectiveness of Adding Cupping Therapy in Patients With Nonspecific Chronic Lumbar Pain

lowbackpain
Start date: December 1, 2019
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Low back pain is a major public health problem and is associated with a high rate of absenteeism at work, functional disability and frequent use of health services. Suction cup therapy is a common technique of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), which has been around for about 3,300 years in Asia and the Middle East and has as its main feature the decrease in signs and symptoms of chronic pain. The technique was widely used in the 19th century throughout Asia and Europe, and in recent years demand has been increasing, possibly due to the inefficiency of conventional therapies and medicines. Objective: To verify the effectiveness of the suction cup therapy technique associated with conventional physiotherapy in patients with chronic low back pain. Method: We will include individuals between 18 and 60 years old, both genders, with low back pain for more than 3 months, without having received physical therapy treatment for a period of 6 months. Individuals with severe spinal diseases, root conditions of the spine, carriers of vascular diseases and pregnant women will be excluded. They will be randomly divided into two groups, Conventional Physiotherapy (group 1) and Conventional Physiotherapy associated with suction cup therapy (group 2).

Effects of Acupuncture on the Radial Pressure Pulse-wave at Cunkou in Low Back Pain

Start date: April 25, 2018
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Introduction: In TCM, Pulse Diagnosis has been one of the key diagnostic components in the clinical examinations. Traditionally, the palpation of the pulse on the radial artery is subjective among the physicians. With the development of the various devices to study the radial pressure pulse wave (RPPW), these have provided a scientific and objective assessment to assist the physicians on diagnosis and treatment. The primary objective of this intervention study is to investigate the effects of Acupuncture on the RPPW at cunkou in Low Back Pain (LBP) through the pulse sphygmograph. The secondary objective is to investigate the effect of acupoint combinations on different type LBP based on TCM syndrome differentiation through the primary and secondary outcome evaluations. Methods: A single group, pre-post intervention study in which all participants receiving the same intervention will be conducted. A total 80 participants that meet all the following criteria will be enrolled: a. at least 20 years of age of either gender; b. chief complaint being low back pain; c. diagnosis with Lumbago (ICD-9-CM 724.2) or low back pain: loin pain, low back strain and lumbago NOS (not otherwise specified) (ICD-10-CM M54.4); d. diagnosis with lumbago with sciatica (ICD-10-CM M54.5). All participants will undergo acupuncture at BI23, BI25 & Bl40 after obtaining written informed consent. Objective and subjective baseline assessments and outcome evaluations including Vital Signs, health status questionnaire, Constitution in Chinese Medicines Questionnaire (CCMQ), Oswestry Disability Index, Faces Pain Scale-Revised (FPS-R) will be performed. The primary outcome will be the assessment of RPPW at cunkou ie at Cun, Guan & Chi of both hands using Pulse Sphygmograph before and after the intervention. The secondary outcome involves evaluating low back pain using the Fingertips-to-floor test & FPS-R before and after the intervention. Expected Outcome: The results will be analyzed and provide information which can serve as clinical evidence of the influence of acupuncture on the RPPW at cunkou. In addition, the effectiveness of the acupoint combinations on the different type of LBP based on TCM syndrome differentiation can be further investigated.
