Clinical measurement, reliability study.To investigate the improvements in precision when averaging multiple measurements of percent change muscle thickness transversus abdominis (TrA) and lumbar multifidus (LM) muscles.Although TrA LM using rehabilitative ultrasound imaging (RUSI) is good, measurement error often large relative to mean thickness. Additionally, measures incorporate from both resting contracted conditions.Thirty volunteers with nonspecific low back pain participated....
Prospective case series.To examine spinal stiffness in patients with low back pain (LBP) receiving manipulative therapy (SMT), evaluate associations between characteristics and clinical outcome, explore a multivariate model of SMT mechanisms as related to effects on stiffness, lumbar multifidus (LM) recruitment, status prediction rule (CPR) for outcomes.Mechanisms underlying the are poorly understood. Many explanations have been proposed, but few studies potential outcomes or considered...
Prospective, longitudinal cohort studyTo examine the validity of a threshold that has been used to define successful outcome for patients with low back pain (LBP), undergoing nonsurgical rehabilitation based on 50% improvement Modified Oswestry disability index (ODI).Making research findings interpretable is goal evidence-based practice. One attempt improve interpretability reporting treatment results as percentage achieving level within groups along mean between-group differences. The most...
Prospective, blinded, diagnostic-accuracy study.To investigate the diagnostic accuracy of ankle anterior drawer test (ADT) to detect talocrural joint laxity in adults with a history lateral sprain.The ADT is used manually following sprain injury; however, this has not been established.Sixty-six subjects were examined ADT. Anterior was measured digitally from ultrasound images talofibular interval during performance In addition, 20 control establish reference standard. results defined as...
Background The global burden of low back pain is growing rapidly, accompanied by increasing rates associated healthcare utilization. Health seeking behavior (HSB) has been suggested as a mediator aims this study were to: 1) develop proxy HSB measure based on consumption patterns prior to initial consultation for spinal pain, and 2) examine associations between the future utilization in population patients with spine disorders. Methods A cohort 1,691 care at single military hospital included....
Prospective case series.To examine the relation between improved disability and changes in abdominal lumbar multifidus (LM) thickness using ultrasound imaging following spinal manipulative therapy (SMT) patients with low back pain (LBP).Although there is a growing body of literature demonstrating physiologic effects application SMT, few studies have attempted to correlate these clinically relevant outcomes.Eighty-one participants LBP underwent 2 thrust SMT treatments 3 assessment sessions...
Context: Low back pain (LBP) is a prevalent condition imposing large socioeconomic burden. Despite intensive research aimed at the efficacy of various therapies for patients with LBP, most evidence has failed to identify superior treatment approach. One proposed solution this dilemma subgroups LBP and match them targeted therapies. Among subgrouping approaches, system treatment-based classification (TBC) promoted as means increasing effectiveness conservative interventions LBP. Evidence...
Study Design Randomized, controlled, crossover trial. Objectives To examine the effects of elastic therapeutic taping (ETT) applied to lumbar paraspinal region on back muscle endurance (BME) compared no tape or a rigid (RTT) procedure in individuals with nonspecific low pain. Background Elastic is an increasingly popular intervention for clinicians who treat patients However, studies have investigated effect ETT extensor performance symptomatic population. Methods We measured BME 16 (mean ±...
