Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to determine if a wearable back exosuit can make it safer and easier for workers who bend, lift, and lower objects in an industrial setting. Many studies have shown that wearable back exoskeletons or exosuits can provide helpful forces making a person's back muscles work less. It is believed that exosuits can lower a person's level of workplace effort and fatigue, making it less likely for them to have back pain at work. Back exosuits could be a solution to make a job easier, but how well they work in the real-world over a long period of time is unclear. The investigators want to know if workers who wear a back exosuit during the workday will have lower rates of lower back pain or injury than those who are not wearing a back exosuit. The investigators also want to know how well exosuit technology integrates into the workplace (for example, how this technology improves or hinders job performance). Participants will be randomized into an exosuit group or control group. Participants in the exosuit group will be given a back exosuit that they can use as much as they want at work. All participants will complete surveys monthly. Researchers will compare the exosuit group to the control group to see if using a back exosuit in a workplace can reduce a person's risk and impact of low back injury or pain. The investigators also want to see if a back exosuit impacts job productivity and if participants find the exosuit becomes useful or bothersome over time.
The primary objective is to use machine learning methods on large survey and health register data to identify participants with different treatment trajectories and health outcomes after surgical and/or conservative treatment for spinal disorders. Secondary objectives are to 1) conduct external validation of the prediction models, and 2) explore how the prediction models can be implemented into AI-based clinical co-decision tools and interventions.
Low back pain is the leading cause of disability worldwide, the prevalence of low back pain can be as high as 43%. Past research has shown the positive effects of Kinesio taping in patients with chronic and nonspecific low back pain in pain reduction, improvement in postural stability, and improvement in function. However, no study has yet evaluated the effects of KT in persons with discogenic LBP. If found to be effective KT can be prescribed as a conservative & cost-effective treatment for patients with discogenic low back pain.
This is an independent prospective, noninterventional, single arm post market data collection of the patient-reported effectiveness, ongoing safety, and satisfaction outcomes for patients treated with intraosseous basivertebral nerve ablation using the Intracept Procedure at a single study site.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effects Of Directional Preference Exercises in Comparison to Motor Control Exercises in Patients With Mechanical Low Back Pain
Discogenic LBP is the leading cause of disability worldwide. Eventhough other types of Chronic LBP are more common, 63% of all patients reporting to tertiary care hospital with LBP are discogenic in nature. However, immediate effects of kinesio-taping on pain and postural stability in discogenic low back pain has not been well documented in existing literature. This study is focused on immediate effects of kinesiotaping on pain and postural stability in persons with discogenic low back pain.
Low back pain (LBP) is a common symptom that can be a health problem in worldwide. Studies have shown that 70% to 80% of all people are affected at least once in their lives. Although it is common, the cause of the pain has often not been determined and is referred to as non-specific LBP. The lumbar range of motion decreases, trunk flexion is limited, postural control and muscular stiffness are affected in individuals with LBP. Recent studies have shown that people with LBP have altered nerve properties in the sciatic nerve. It was observed that the cross-sectional area of the sciatic nerve decreased and its stiffness increased. Peripheral nerve tissues are faced with great tension and compressive forces that occur in daily life activities and sports activities. To maintain the normal function of the nervous system, it must have the ability to resistance to tension, easy to slide in the environment it is in and withstand compressive forces. In case of not being able to resist the pressure exerted by surrounding tissues such as bone, tendon, muscle, fascia, there may be distortions in the shapes of neural structures. Neuromobilization, one of the manual therapy techniques, is used in impingement syndromes of peripheral nerves and neuropathies. Neuromobilization aims to regain the normal mechanical properties of the nerve by using limb movements, motion and position of the joint. There are two methods of neuromobilization techniques; sliding and tension. Sliding involves combinations of movements that lengthen the nerve bed in one joint and reduce the length of the nerve bed in the next joint, while tension is done by stretching both ends of the nerve bed. Neuromobilization structures the balance between the relative movements of the neural tissues and the surrounding mechanical interface, allows the reduction of internal pressure in the neural tissue, and thus optimum physiological functions are regulated. The mechanism of action of neuromobilization is thought to be to increase intraneural circulation, improve axoplasmic flow and connective tissue viscoelasticity, and reduce hypersensitive areas. Neuromobilization techniques are extensively used in clinical settings during the therapy of patients with sciatica, with favorable effects on pain and impairment. However, the mechanical implications of neuromobilization in human nerves are poorly understood. Two investigations that used SWE to measure sciatic nerve stiffness in healthy adults following prolonged slump positions came up with conflicting conclusions. It has been determined that there are different opinions on the effects of slump neuromobilizations in sciatic nerves. Considering that slump neuromobilization techniques are frequently used for therapeutic, it should be appropriate to determine their effects on the sciatic nerve.
