This study examined the role of pain catastrophizing, fear movement and depression as determinants repetition-induced summation activity-related pain. The sample consisted 90 (44 women 46 men) work-disabled individuals with chronic low back Participants were asked to lift a series 18 canisters that varied according weight (2.9kg, 3.4kg, 3.9kg) distance from body. arranged in 3x6 matrix weights distributed such each 'column' three was equated terms physical demands. rated their after lift,...
The aims of the study were: 1) to determine whether resting forearms on work surface, as compared chair armrests, reduces muscular activation; 2) compare sensitivity different electromyographic (EMG) summary parameters. Eighteen healthy subjects performed computer (with keyboard and mouse alternately) for 20 min while their a surface adjustable in height (Workstation A), chair's armrests with an workstation B) or non-adjustable C). EMG amplitude trapezius deltoid muscles was little...
The objective was to verify whether the methods were safer and more efficient when used by expert handlers than novice handlers. Altogether, 15 recruited. Their task transfer four boxes from a conveyor hand trolley. Different characteristics of load lifting heights modified achieve larger variety participants. results show that net moments at L5/S1 joint not significantly different (p > 0.05) for two groups. However, compared with novices, experts bent their lumbar region less (experts 54°...
An experimental and comparative study of chronic low back pain (CLBP) patients healthy controls.To use a motivation-independent electromyography (EMG) based test muscle capacity to determine whether deconditioning is present in CLBP it related pain-related psychological variables.The verification the syndrome might be biased by performance-based measures assess physical fitness, especially having fear injury. Also, lumbar-specific such as strength endurance, more sensitive than general...
Abstract Background Quantifying the integrity of Achilles tendon (AT) is a rehabilitation challenge. Adopting quantitative ultrasound measurements (QUS measurements) AT could fill this gap by 1) evaluating test‐retest reliability and accuracy QUS AT; 2) determining best protocol for collecting in clinical practice. Methods A total 23 ATs with symptoms tendinopathy 63 asymptomatic were evaluated. Eight images recorded each (2 visits × 2 evaluators images). Multiple sets taken: geometric...
This study investigated the relation between repetition-induced summation of activity-related pain (RISP) and indicators functional disability in a sample 62 individuals who had sustained whiplash injuries. Participants completed measures severity, catastrophizing, fear movement depression prior to lifting series 36 weighted canisters. An index RISP was computed as increase reported by participants over successive lifts Measures included physical tolerance, self-reported perceived work...
The objective of this study was to measure the effect size three important factors in manual material handling, namely expertise, lifting height and weight lifted. expertise evaluated by contrasting 15 expert novice handlers, lifted with a 15-kg box 23-kg two different heights: ground level 32 cm height. task consisted transferring series boxes from conveyor hand trolley. Lifting had more than on external back loading variables (moments) while low impact. On other hand, showed significant...
Lumbar stabilization exercises have gained popularity and credibility in patients with non-acute low back pain. Previous research provides more support to strength/resistance coordination/stabilisation programs. Some authors also suggest adding training following motor control exercises. However, the effect of such a lumbar program on proprioception has never been tested so far. The present study investigated effects an 8-week exercise pain (LBP) assessed test-retest reliability subjects....
