Filter by:Stress Urinary incontinence (SUI) is a common health condition in female population. Although its prevalence increases with the age, women of all ages could be affected. Several epidemiological studies have shown an association of SUI with Low Back Pain (LBP) demonstrating, moreover, that the presence of one condition may predispose the patient to the onset of the other. Concerning the LBP, the clinical practice guidelines provided recommendations for physical rehabilitative treatment. Different techniques and physical exercises have been developed and it is difficult at the date to affirm the superiority of one approach as compared to another. Moreover, the crucial role plays by the pelvic floor muscles (PFM) both as an integral part of trunk and lumbo-pelvic stability and in maintenance of urinary continence, lead the pelvic floor muscles disfunction to be associated both with SUI and LBP, making the PFM rehabilitation a useful approach in both the conditions. In this rehabilitative context the present study aims to verify the effectiveness of a global physical approach based on postural re-education combined to the pelvic floor rehabilitation in women with diagnosis of stress urinary incontinence associated with non-specific chronic low back pain.
This study was planned to investigate the effect of back health education given to academicians on physical function and body awareness. The participants of the intervention group received back health education (Back School) in the classroom. After the education program, they participated in exercise training for six weeks (one day a week). The control group was only given an informative brochure on back health and asked to read it.
Condition in which lumbar region experiences stress or extra weight and is arched to point of muscle pain or spasms is called Lumbar hyperlordosis.The study findings compared the effectiveness of frog leg technique and standard exercise therapy in management of low back pain due to lumbar lordosis.
Chronic Non-Specific Low Back Pain is characterized as a tension, soreness and stiffness. Various studies, defined MET as a manual medicine treatment procedure that involves the voluntary contraction of the subject's muscle in a precisely controlled direction, at varying levels of intensity, against a distinctly executed counterforce applied by the therapist.
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the safety of early inpatient rehabilitation after lumbar spine surgery. Participants are assigned to therapy groups C (low) - A (high) intensity and receive standardized multimodal rehabilitation for 3 weeks. Groups are compared in terms of safety, disability impairment as well as pain. Timing of rehabilitation is considered.
Non-specific chronic low back pain (NSCLBP) is characterized by persistent back pain that lasts longer than 12 weeks. This clinical trial aims to examine the short-term and long-term effects of adding Pain Neuroscience Education (PNE) with integrated Motivational Interviewing (MI) to a Manual Therapy (MT) program on pain intensity, pressure pain threshold (PPT), back performance, disability, kinesiophobia, fear and avoidance, and catastrophizing in individuals suffering from NSCLBP. The study adopts a randomized, controlled, single-blind design, with a total of 60 participants randomly allocated to three groups. The first group will receive MT and PNE with MI, the second group will receive MT alone, and the control group (third group) will follow a home-based exercise program only. All interventions will last for 4 weeks. Outcome measures will be assessed at three time points: pre-intervention, at 4 weeks, and at 6 months. The statistical analysis of the results will use a two-factor analysis of variance with repeated measurements, and the statistical significance index will be set at p < 0.05.
Patients will be recruited from the Outpatient Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Kestel State Hospital, who have been diagnosed with mechanical LBP for the past 3 weeks (physical examination, neurological examination, spinal radiography and laboratory tests and other causes of LBP were excluded) and who have agreed to participate in the study. Sociodemographic data of patients who gave written informed consent will be recorded to ensure anonymity. Although no consensus has been reached on the cross-cultural adaptation of the questionnaires into different languages, this study will use the guidelines for self-report measurement provided by Beaton et al. Following the formation of the expert committee, the scale will be translated and the pre-form back-translated. Comparisons will be made with the translated versions and the final version of the scale will be created by taking into account the opinions of the preliminary group of participants. The reliability, test-retest reliability, face validity and content validity of the scale will be assessed by the expert committee. In order to assess the concurrent validity of this scale, all participants will also complete the 'Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Questionnaire' and the 'Quebec Low Back Pain Disability Questionnaire', which have been previously validated and reliable in Turkish. The Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Questionnaire consists of 10 items that assess activities of daily living. These are pain intensity, personal care, lifting, walking, sitting, standing, sleeping, social life, travelling and degree of change in pain. Each item has 6 options ranging from 0 to 5 points (12). The Quebec Low Back Pain Disability Questionnaire consists of 20 items assessing activities of daily living. Each item has 6 options ranging from 0-5 points. The aim of this study was to evaluate the validity and reliability and the Turkish version of the Low Back Activity Confidence Scale (Lobacs).
Non-specific chronic low back pain (NS-CLBP) is defined as lumber pain persisting for longer than three months, in absence of a suspected pathology or any specific cause. A specific diagnosis of low back pain cannot be obtained in approximately 80% patients with low back pain, indicating that patients with low back pain are often diagnosed with non-specific low back pain and these are the majority of the individuals with low back pain that present to physiotherapy In other cases the cause may be a minor problem with a disc between two spinal bones (vertebrae), or a minor problem with a small facet joint between two vertebrae. There may be other minor problems in the structures and tissues of the lower back that result in pain. Objective of this study is to compare the effects McGill stabilization exercises and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation technique on pain, range of motion and functional disability in chronic non-specific Low back pain.
The study will be a Randomized clinical trial to check the effects of a core muscle activation exercise training program on pain, range of motion, and function in patients with chronic low back pain so that we can devise a treatment protocol for patients with chronic low back pain. The study duration was 10 months, convenient sampling technique was used subject following eligibility criteria from the Orthopaedic medical center, Lahore. were randomly allocated in two groups via lottery method, a baseline assessment was done, and Group A received Mobilization and Electrotherapy Modalities including Ultrasound, TENS, and Core muscles activation exercises. Group B received Mobilization and Electrotherapy Modalities including Ultrasound and TENS for a total training program duration of 12 weeks with 3 sessions per week. Outcome measures were NPRS for assessment of pain, Modified Oswestry Disability index for functional disability, PBU for assessment and training of core stability, and baseline bubble inclinometer and were assessed and documented at 0 week, 4 weeks, 8 weeks, and 12 weeks of the treatment session
To study the prevalence of sarcopenia in a pre-retirement group with chronic lower back pain and factors associated between sarcopenia and chronic lower back pain in the pre-retirement group.
