Foot disorders have been recognized as being linked to chronic low back pain
It was a randomized clinical trial conducted to determine the effects of patient education manual on pain, range of motion and function in patient with chronic low back pain at Salamat hospital Satellite Town Gujranwala in patients with 6-month chronic low back pain who were willing to follow patient education manual. Patients were assessed for pain, disability due to backpain and lumbar ranges, at baseline, 2nd, 4th and 6th week of intervention. The SPSS 20.0 version was used to analyse data. Tests of normality were executed that whether data was normative or non-parametric, based on which outcomes were compared either using independent samples t test or Mann-Whitney test.
The main objective of this clinical investigation is to show the superiority of a rehabilitation based on the use of Blueback® Physio compared to a rehabilitation without the use of Blueback® Physio in terms of reducing the time needed for a patient to control the voluntary contraction of the transversus abdominal muscle and to return to autonomy.
Chronic low back pain (LBP) is one of the most familiar musculoskeletal pains and alone has been the main origin of years lived with disability for the past three decades. LBP is identified as a nonspecific, painful or mechanical situation in the lower back, buttocks, or hips. Although an underlying origin in chronic LBP has been proposed to be due to a multitude of factors, a muscle hip disbalance has been recognized5. A limited hip internal rotation range of motion (IR-ROM) and hip abductor weakness were found in patients with LBP symptoms7 In the field of Physiotherapy, ultrasound-guided Percutaneous Neuromodulation (PNM) is defined as the application through a needle with ultrasound guidance of an electrical current at low or medium frequency, seeking a sensitive and / or motor response of a peripheral nerve in some point of its trajectory, or of a muscle in a motor point, with a therapeutic objective. However, authors hypothesize that neuromodulation (especially the US-guided PNM technique) may be used to obtain more therapeutic effects, including pain relief. The main aim of this study was to investigate the effect of hip muscle strengthening by a simple single-shot procedure with the US-guided PNM technique in people with LBP. A second purpose was to discover if the stimulation point in the sciatic nerve territory may influence the change of strength in these patients Sixty subjects will be recruited, which will be divided into 3 groups: group 1 to which PNM will be applied to the sciatic nerve in the gluteus region; group 2 to which PNM will be applied to the sciatic nerve in the middle of the thigh; and group 3 to which PNM will be applied to the sciatic nerve before popliteus region. The PNM intervention with NMP will consist in the single application of an asymmetric rectangular biphasic current (250 microseconds, 3 Hz) during 90 seconds
Kinematic and temporal analysis of the movement helps researchers and clinicians to better understand the way humans move and interact within the environment in which they live, better describe the alterations coming from impairments, and finally allow to better tailor interventions for patients. In this perspective, motion analysis has become, in the last 30 years, a remarkable and important field of research. Even if movement assessment should be a cornerstone for definition and modulation of rehabilitation interventions, there are still few motion analysis devices that are able to influence the clinical decision process; motion analysis labs are among those, but their use is unfortunately limited due to the costs of instruments and analysis. Other small unobtrusive wearable devices, easier to use and cost-effective, have been developed, like Inertial measurement units (IMU), composed by accelerometers and gyroscopes. They could therefore represent an incentive for a more widespread use of motion analysis within daily clinical activity in Rehabilitaion. Timed Up and Go Test (TUG) is a simple, widely used, functional test which involves standing up from a chair, walking three meters, turning, and going back to sit. It is used to evaluate movement, mobility, dynamic and static balance in people with musculoskeletal impairment, neurological diseases, aging related conditions, and the quality of life in people with low back pain. The only and easy outcome considered is the time to completion. Nevertheless, the application of an IMU to a subject performing TUG can provide other objective, quantitative data, like temporal and kinematic parameters of the whole test and its sub-phases. The instrumented TUG (iTUG) has already been applied, mainly in the neurorehabilitation field, in particular for Parkinson's disease and for post-stroke impairments. cLBP is one of the most burdensome health problem worldwide. cLBP has been considered a bio-psycho-social disease, characterized by pain in the lumbar region, functional impairments, and condition-related disability. Despite the obvious motor problems affecting people with cLBP, to the best of our knowledge, chronic low back pain (cLBP) has not yet been explored using iTUG. The aim of study is to analyse temporal and kinematic parameters of cLBP subjects compared to BMI and age-matched healthy subjects, through iTUG and to explore the correlations of those parameters with pain and disability.
Objective: To determine the effectiveness of bilateral and simultaneous diaphragm visual biofeedback reeducation by ultrasonography in conjunction with high-intensity inspiratory muscle training versus isolated high-intensity inspiratory muscle training in patients with low back pain. Methods: A single blinded randomized clinical trial will be carried out. A total sample of 96 patients with low back pain will be recruited and randomized into 2 groups: one group will be treated by isolated high-intensity inspiratory muscle training during 8 weeks, and another group will be treated with bilateral and simultaneous diaphragm visual biofeedback reeducation by ultrasonography during 6 weeks in conjunction with high-intensity inspiratory muscle training during 8 weeks. Outcome measurements will be diaphragm muscle thickness evaluated by ultrasonography (main outcome measurement), pain intensity, pressure pain threshold, disability, quality of life and respiratory parameters by spirometry, which will be assessed before and after intervention.
Chronic pain of moderate to severe intensity occurs in 19% of adult Europeans. Non-specific low-back pain is one of the most prevalent symptoms and the main cause of disability in industrialized countries, generating significant public health expenditure on health and occupational care. The combination of pain neurophysiology education and therapeutic exercise has shown positive effects in patients with chronic non-specific low back pain. Mobile health tools (mHealth) are proposed as a cost-effective alternative to continuously record the daily activities of patients and to provide rapid feedback to users and clinicians, reducing visits to clinics. A 4-week (8-session) education and exercise-based intervention will be carried out in a group of patients with non-specific chronic low back pain using two modalities: (1) face-to-face guided by a health professional or (2) self-managed through BackFit App. The sample will be divided into two groups and will be evaluated before (pre), after (post) and 3 months (follow-up) after the intervention.
This is pilot study for a 2-arm parallel pragmatic randomized controlled trial that will compare pharmacopuncture therapy and physical therapy for chronic low back pain.
