In Brief Study Design. Cross-sectional cohort study of a general population. Objective. To investigate “abnormal” lumbar spine magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings, and their prevalence associations with low back pain (LBP). Summary Background Data. The clinical relevance various findings in the is unclear. Distinguishing between inevitable age-related degenerative deleterious consequences challenge. Methods. Lumbar MRI was obtained 412, 40-year-old individuals. Predefined were...
Because training of the lumbar muscles is a commonly recommended intervention in low back pain (LBP), it important to clarify whether muscle atrophy related LBP. Fat infiltration seems be late stage muscular degeneration, and can measured non-invasive manner using magnetic resonance imaging. The purpose this study was investigate if fat multifidus (LMM) associated with LBP adults adolescents. In total, 412 (40-year-olds) 442 adolescents (13-year-olds) from general Danish population...
<h3>Importance</h3> Lower back pain (LBP) is a prevalent and challenging condition in primary care. The effectiveness of an individually tailored self-management support tool delivered via smartphone app has not been rigorously tested. <h3>Objective</h3> To investigate the ofselfBACK, evidence-based, system through as adjunct to usual care for adults with LBP-related disability. <h3>Design, Setting, Participants</h3> This randomized clinical trial intention-to-treat data analysis enrolled...
It is generally acknowledged that back pain (BP) a common condition already in childhood. However, the development until early adulthood not well understood and, particular, individual tracking pattern. The objectives of this paper are to show prevalence estimates BP, low (LBP), mid (MBP), neck (NP), and care-seeking because BP at three different ages (9, 13 15 years) how reporting tracks over these age groups consecutive surveys.A longitudinal cohort study was carried out from years 1997...
In Brief Study Design. Population based prospective cohort study. Objective. We explored the cross-sectional relationships between lumbar multifidus (LM) intramuscular adipose tissue (IMAT) infiltration and low back pain (LBP) at 3 successive time points investigated role of IMAT in predicting occurrence LBP after 5 9 years. Summary Background Data. Although is a major source disease burden, biological determinants are poorly understood. Methods. Participants were 40-year-old adults randomly...
Vertebral endplate signal changes (VESC) are more common among patients with low back pain (LBP) and/or sciatica than in people who not seeking care for pain. The distribution and characteristics of VESC have been described from clinical non-clinical populations. However, while the course has studied patients, natural general population reported. objectives this prospective observational study were to describe: 1) lumbar spine, 2) its association disc degeneration, 3) 40 44 years age....
Wireless, wearable, inertial motion sensor technology introduces new possibilities for monitoring spinal and pain in people during their daily activities of work, rest play. There are many types these wireless devices currently available but the precision measurement magnitude error from such is often unknown. This study investigated concurrent validity one system (ViMove) its ability to measure lumbar inclination motion, compared with Vicon capture system. To mimic variability movement...
Background: The lumbar vertebral endplate is considered a potential cause of specific low back pain. However, in relation to future research, there need for reliable and detailed magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) protocol be used the evaluation signal changes. Purpose: To assess intra- interobserver reliability “Nordic Modic classification” protocol. Material Methods: MRI scans 50 individuals representative general Danish population aged 40 were evaluated by two observers. Criteria grading...
Clinical guidelines recommend that people with back pain be given information and education about their pain, advice to remain active at work, exercises improve mobility physical activity. Guidelines, however, rarely describe how this is best delivered. The aim of paper present the development, theories, underlying evidence for 'GLA:D Back' - a group exercise program translates guideline recommendations into clinician-delivered promotion self-management in persistent/recurrent pain. GLA:D...
Low back pain (LBP) is prevalent across all social classes, in age groups, and industrialized developing countries. From a global perspective, LBP considered the leading cause of disability negatively impacts everyday life well-being. Self-management recommended first-line treatment, mobile apps are promising platform to support self-management conditions like LBP. In selfBACK project, we have developed digital decision system made available for user via an app intended tailored nonspecific
To determine the intra- and interobserver reliability in grading disc muscle parameters using low-field magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).MRI scans of 100 subjects representative general population were evaluated blindly by two radiologists. Criteria for lumbar discs based on spinal nomenclature Combined Task Force literature. Consensus rating was achieved evaluating 50 MRI examinations tandem. The remaining independently observers to agreement re-evaluated one intra-observer agreement.Intra-...
Many studies show a relation between reduced lumbar motor control (LMC) and low back pain (LBP). However, test circumstances vary during performance, subjects may change position. In other words, the reliability - i.e. reproducibility validity of tests for LMC should be based on quantitative data. This has not been considered before. The aim was to analyse five different commonly used in daily clinical practice. were: repositioning (RPS), sitting forward lean (SFL), knee extension (SKE),...
