From Structural to Functional Characteristics of the Lumbar Multifidus in Low Back Pain

Low Back PainChronic Low Back Pain

To delineate the underlying mechanisms that contribute to chronic low back pain, by extending our knowledge on structural characteristics of the lumbar multifidus muscle using ultrasound muscle imaging, and by examining the association of structural features with functional performance, more precisely proprioceptive control.

The Quality of Physiotherapy in Low Back Pain Patients in Central Finland

Low Back Pain

Chronic low back pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal disorders. In the Finnish Health 2000 survey the incidence of low back pain was 10% in men and 11% in women. Several evidence-based rehabilitation guidelines recommend exercise therapy treatment of chronic back pain. However, there are no studies in chronic low back pain patients concerning the assessment of the content and quality of exercise modalities adviced in clinical practise. The aim of this study is to investigate the content and quality of physiotherapy management and advise in chronic low back pain patients in Central Finland.

The Influence of Vertebral Mobility on Low Back Pain in Patients With Acute Osteoporotic Vertebral...

Osteoporotic Vertebral Fracture

Many patients with acute osteoporotic vertebral fracture (acute OVFs) admitted because of low back pain. But there are only part of patients with acute OVFs, because some patients do not have low back pain although OVFs occurred.

The Role of Lumbar Multifidus Characteristics in the Development of Low Back Pain

Low Back Pain

Low back pain (LBP) is a severe epidemic in the world. Despite its high prevalence, 90% of the cases have no identifiable cause. Approximately 44% of them experience recurrent LBP within one year and 10% of them develop chronic LBP that lasts for three months or more. Mechanically, the lumbar spine is unstable and requires spinal muscle to maintain spinal stability and to prevent injuries. Lumbar multifidus (LM) muscle is thought to be the major spinal stabilizer responsible for spinal stability and spinal proprioception. Prior studies have revealed that increased fat infiltration, atrophy or activation deficits of LM in patients with LBP as compared to asymptomatic individuals. Unfortunately, inconsistent findings have also been reported. Although prior research attempted to determine if abnormal LM characteristics can inform clinical decision-making, their results are limited because they only investigated a single LM characteristic at a time, which might not reflect the actual LM condition. Further, many studies adopted cross-sectional design that could not reveal the casual relations between abnormal LM characteristics and LBP. As such, the current study aims to identify specific LM characteristics that can predict new episode of LBP in asymptomatic individuals, and recurrent/chronic LBP in individuals with LBP at baseline.

Causes of Low Back Pain in Nurses in Israeli Hospitals

Low Back Pain

An examination of the various factors that cause lower back pain in nurses in four hospitals in Israel such as; socio-demographic, professional, posture while ambulating patients and job environment.

Non-specific Back Pain and Spinal Manipulation

Non-specific Back Pain

The main purpose of this study is to identify short-term predictors of positive responses to a spinal manipulation treatment. To do this, positive responses to treatment, characterized by improvement in pain score, functional capacity, as well as the global perceived change will be evaluated using single and multiple logistic regressions in which biomechanical variables, comfort, expectation will used as potential predictors.

Turkish Version of Revised Neurophysiology of Pain Questionnaire

Chronic Low-back PainNeck Pain

The Neurophysiology of Pain Questionnaire was first developed in English to test whether healthcare staff and patients could exactly understand pain neurophysiology. This questionnaire which contains 19 items was developed from the exam questions of students interested in post-graduate pain medicine. Catley et al. (2013) investigated the psychometric properties of the modified Neurophysiology of Pain Questionnaire with a few word differences from the original version by conducting a rash analysis on 300 patients with chronic spinal pain. Acceptable internal consistency and test-retest reliability of the questionnaire were recorded. However, it was stated that 7 items negatively affect psychometric properties of the questionnaire. As a result, the author concluded that the questionnaire had sufficient psychometric properties for use in chronic spinal pain subjects, but further studies were needed. The Neurophysiology of Pain Questionnaire was used to measure a knowledge about pain in different studies. The validity and reliability studies of the Dutch, French and Brazlian Portuguese versions of the Neurophysiology of Pain Questionnaire were conducted in the literature. The aim of our study was to translate the Revised Neurophysiology of Pain Questionnaire into Turkish language and to investigate its psychometric properties.
