Filter by:Work-related attention bias modification training and virtual reality training in occupational rehabilitation is a multisite pilot study. The quantitative aim of this pilot study is to compared virtual reality (VR) training and attention bias modication (ABM) training to investigate whether the different training forms result in different results measured with work-related outcomes and cognitive outcomes. The qualitative aim of this pilot study is to investigate the patients' experiences with the usage of VR. Three rehabilitation insitutions will be recruiting patients participating in occupational rehabilitation, and the study will compare the outcomes of work-related interventions with and without the addition of ABM or VR training. The study seeks to determine if these interventions can improve work ability, reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety, and change attentional bias from negative to positive stimuli.
Low back pain is one of the most common conditions for which patients are sent to physiotherapy clinics. 84% of people have experienced it at least once in their lifetime, and over 50% have experienced it more than once, according to research. However, diagnosis and, in particular, the provision of specialized back pain therapy remain difficult.
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of resistance training, core strengthening exercises, and vitamin D supplementation in reducing low back pain (LBP) among postmenopausal women.
The study aims to explore if non-response bias exists among individuals with chronic back pain, focusing on the impact of chronic disease count, treatment burden from multimorbidity, and health-related quality of life. Data is gathered from patients at Aalborg University Hospital's Rheumatology Department via electronic means and medical records. The analysis comprises two-wave assessments, investigating disparities among patients responding to study invitations based on response patterns: first, second, or third invitation responses. Utilizing baseline data, a one-way ANOVA is employed to detect potential between-group variations in the mentioned factors. Subsequently, a repeated measures ANOVA is conducted to evaluate differences among groups over time. Additionally, statistical analyses are conducted to scrutinize variances in age and gender distribution between respondents and non-respondents to the questionnaire invitations at baseline.
This study is designed as a pre and post experimental study. The purposes of this study are to evaluate the effect of core muscles training in patients with chronic mechanical low back pain according to SALIBA'S postural classification system (SPCS) in terms of pain intensity, function, and core muscles endurance.
The aim of this study is to examine the effect of steel underwire lumbosacral orthosis adapted to the individual by the prosthetist orthotist on pain, comfort, plantar pressure, static and dynamic balance in individuals with low back pain.
Low back pain (LBP) is a common musculoskeletal symptom in athletes. More than 40% percent of high school baseball players reported incidents of LBP during the previous year. University baseball athletes were 3.23 times more likely to have lumbar intervertebral disk degeneration than the nonathletic university students. According to the regional interdependence model, a patient's chief complaints may be directly or indirectly related to or influenced by physical impairments from various body systems and regardless of proximity to the primary symptom(s). Athletes with a chief complaint of LBP frequently demonstrate with mobility restrictions in the thoracic spine and hips, which may contribute to compensatory hypermobility in the lumbar spine and subsequently lead to LBP. Few studies have examined the relationship between thoracic spine mobility and LBP, while many studies investigating the relationship between hip joint mobility and LBP in athletes showed inconsistent results. The inconsistent results may be due to different types of sports and measurement methods. Therefore, the objectives of this research project are to: (1) examine if baseball players with a history of LBP have mobility restriction in the thoracic spine and hips and movement coordination within the spine and hip regions during baseball batting that are different from those without a history of LBP; (2) identify thoracic spine and hip joint mobility and coordination related predictors for batting velocity and LBP in baseball players. This 2-year research project plans to recruitment a total of 110 male baseball players aged between 18 and 30 years from university and community recreational league baseball teams (55 players with a history of LBP and 55 age-matched players without a history of LBP). Participants will receive physical examination for the thoracic spine and hip joints (joint mobility and muscle stiffness) and 3D motion analysis for baseball batting. The results of this research project will guide the development of more specific and effective treatment and preventative training for baseball players with LBP and enhance their batting performance.
case series aimed to describe a new clinical condition for the first time in the medical literature called Foot Spine Syndrome or "RAFFET Syndrome". This syndrome was reported in 11 patients (6 males and 5 females) out of 4000 patients with a history of chronic low back pain (CLBP) throughout 2 to 6 years in an outpatient clinic in Egypt from 2016 to 2022.
A case series aimed to describe a new clinical condition for the first time in the medical literature called Ankle Spine Syndrome or "RAFFET Syndrome II". This syndrome was reported in 6 patients (2 males and 4 females) out of 1000 patients with a history of chronic ankle injuries affecting their calf muscles' strength throughout the last 3 years. The patients suffered from unresolved CLBP with radiculopathy contralateral to their calf muscle atrophy (i.e., an ipsilateral calf muscle weakness induces contralateral lumbar radiculopathy) that did not respond to physical therapy or any medication for long.
Low back pain is one of the most common health problems seen in the primary care. Chronic low back pain is localized between the inferior limit of the ribs and the sacral region, and persist more than 12 weeks. In most cases, it is attributed to a non-specific cause and classified as non-specific chronic low back pain (NSCLBP). No previous study has included a multimodal supervised program in patients with NSCLBP. The primary aim of this study is to determine the effectiveness of exercise + behaviour change + education + mindfulness programs (intervention 1) and an intervention including intervention 1 following functional resistance training (Intervention 2) on endogenous pain modulation, disability, muscle strength/endurance, quality of life, gait parameters, levels of physical activity, sedentary behaviour and psychological health in patients with NSCLBP.
