Sexual Disability in Low Back Pain and Physiotherapy
Low Back PainSex DisorderA treatment centered on the person uses an approach capable of considering all the components of disability, from a physical, psychological and social point of views. Some studies have shown that sexual function is disturbed in subjects with low back pain (LBP) and sexual disability can contribute to a deterioration in quality of life. It has also been shown that, in sexually active patients complaining of LBP, sexuality is a significant mediator of the relationship between pain intensity and depressive symptoms. The Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) includes a specific item to investigate sexual function (item #8). A previous study of ours confirmed the relationship between sexual disability detected by the ODI and the presence of depression, avoidance of activities and rumination (Ferrari et al. 2019 - Digital Object Identifier: 10.1589/jpts.31.360). The discussion on sexual disability among patients and healthcare professionals is very limited, although patients require more involvement from clinicians, especially physiotherapists, as evidenced by our previous qualitative study (Ferrari et al. 2020 - Digital Object Identifier: 10.1080/09638288.2020 .1817161). Although studies on this topic have highlighted the importance of this disability in the life of subjects complaining of LBP, little has been investigated on clinical behaviors of the physiotherapists in this area.

The Relationship Between Trunk Muscle Endurance and Physical Activity, Low Back Pain and Fatigue...
HealthyThe trunk is a kinetic link that facilitates the transmission of force and angular moments between the lower and upper extremities, provides proximal stability for distal mobility, and maintains balance by keeping the body weight within the support surface.While trunk muscle strength is important for maintaining daily living activities, trunk muscle endurance plays an important role in preventing injuries by stabilizing the spine during long-term physical activity and sports activities (2).Decreased trunk muscle endurance can result in fatigue and low back pain. Low back pain is a major public health problem worldwide. In modern industrial society, the number of low back pain patients is increasing due to sedentary lifestyles, lack of exercise and working conditions.The lifetime prevalence of low back pain has been reported as 84%.80% of low back pain is nonspecific, that is, muscle weakness and ligament-related reasons for unknown reasons(3,4).Increasing the endurance of the waist muscles with exercise is used in the treatment of low back pain. From this point of view, while planning our study, we wanted to evaluate whether the decrease in trunk muscles is associated with low back pain and fatigue in young adults.
Analysis of Crepitus in Human Subjects
Low Back PainHealthyChiropractic adjustment has been shown to gap certain joints in the spine, thereby improving mobility in individuals with decreased movement capabilities. During normal motion, joints in the spine produce sounds and vibrations called crepitus. The purpose of this study is to assess how this crepitus may be used as an indicator for joint degeneration in healthy human subjects and those with low back pain, and if chiropractic adjusting causes change in this crepitus. We hypothesis that change in crepitus after adjustment may be a useful indication of changes in joint mobility and joint stiffness.
Prospective Study of Post Surgical Continued Spinal Pain Patients
Low Back PainCervical Pain3 moreContinued spinal pain following spine surgery is reported in up to 50% of patients. Disability and pain following spine surgery occurs. Repeat back surgery outcomes on Workers Compensation low back patients demonstrated larger number of patients did not come back to work. Such continued pain has biopsychosocial health relationships between the physical and the psychological and social factors that are associated with back pain and disability. Chiropractic consultation by post surgical continued pain (PSCP) patients occurs but the frequency, clinical treatment and outcomes of chiropractic treatment are not sufficiently documented. Conditions reported in continued pscp patients seeking care following spinal fusion are reported as sacroiliac joint pain, internal disc disruption, and zygapohyseal joint pain. Sacroiliac joint pain is more common after fusion, while internal disc disruption is more common in nonfusion patients. Very few studies are available on the outcomes of PSCP patients seen by chiropractic. This study proposes to investigate the clinical outcomes of PSCP patients presenting with pain in lumbar, thoracic, and cervical regions and had prior surgery in the respective regions, seeking care from field Doctors of Chiropractic (DCs) certified in Cox flexion distraction decompression procedures.

Predictors of Chronic Non-specific Low Back Pain
Low Back PainChronic non-specific low back pain (CNSLBP) has been defined as a persistent pain in the lower back for at least three months with no known causes. The CNSLBP prevalence is estimated of 90% among all types of the LBP. The LBP imposes high direct and indirect costs on the patients and the society. Whereas a specific pathology has not been identified for CNSLBP, mechanical factors (e.g. changes in muscle length, strength, or endurance) may contribute to the pain and disability.
