The aims of this pilot trial were to (i) test the hypothesis that modifying patterns painful lumbo-pelvic movement using motion-sensor biofeedback in people with low back pain would lead reduced and activity limitation compared guidelines-based care, (ii) facilitate sample size calculations for a fully powered trial.A multicentre (8 clinics), cluster-randomised, placebo-controlled two groups patients seeking medical or physiotherapy primary care sub-acute chronic pain. It was longitudinal...
Movement dysfunctions have been associated with persistent low back pain (LBP) but optimal treatment remains unclear. One possibility is that subgroups of LBP patients differing movement characteristics and therefore different responses to interventions. This study examined if there were patterns flexion-related lumbo-pelvic kinematic EMG parameters might define movement.This was a cross-sectional, observational 126 people without any history significant 140 (n = 266). Wireless motion...
Interventions for low back pain (LBP) commonly target 'dysfunctional' or atypical lumbo-pelvic kinematics in the belief that correcting aberrant movement improves patients' and activity outcomes. If kinematic parameters postures have a relationship to LBP, they could be expected more prevalent people with LBP compared without (NoLBP). This exploratory study measured, defined LBP.Wireless inertial motion EMG sensors were used measure during standing trunk flexion (range of (ROM), timing,...
Comparing movements/postures in people with and without lower back pain (LBP) may assist identifying LBP-specific dysfunction its relationship to or activity limitation. This study compared the consistency lumbo-pelvic posture movement (range pattern) chronic LBP (>12 week's duration). Wireless, wearable, inertial measurement units measured lumbar lordosis angle, range of (ROM) rhythm adults (n = 63). Measurements were taken on three separate occasions: two tests same day different raters a...
Introduction Low back pain (LBP) is the leading cause of disability globally and its costs exceed those cancer diabetes combined. Recent evidence suggests that individualised cognitive movement rehabilitation combined with lifestyle advice (cognitive functional therapy (CFT)) may produce larger more sustained effects than traditional approaches, sensor biofeedback enhance outcomes. Therefore, this three-arm randomised controlled trial (RCT) aims to compare clinical effectiveness economic...
OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether improvements in forward bending were related to pain and disability people with chronic low back (CLBP) who undergoing Cognitive Functional Therapy (CFT). DESIGN: Longitudinal observational study. METHODS: Two hundred sixty-one participants CLBP received CFT. Forward was assessed at each treatment session over 13 weeks (an average of 4.3 timepoints per participant [range, 1-8]). Spinal range motion (ROM) velocity recorded using 2 inertial measurement units...
