Objective To determine the absolute and relative intra-rater within-session test-retest reliability of pressure pain threshold (PPT) mechanical temporal summation (TSP) at low back forearm in healthy participants to test influence number sequence measurements on metrics. Methods In 24 participants, three PPT TSP measures were assessed four sites (2 back, 2 forearm) two blocks separated by 20 minutes. The standard error measurement, minimal detectable change (MDC) intraclass correlation...
Abstract Background Chronic pain involves communication between neural and immune systems. Recent data suggest localization of glial (brain cells) activation to the sensorimotor regions brain cortex (S1/M1) in chronic low back (LBP). As glia perform diverse functions that impact function, might contribute changes, particularly LBP maintained by increased nervous system sensitivity (i.e., nociplastic pain). This preliminary proof‐of‐concept study aimed to: (i) compare evidence...
Chronic low back pain (CLBP) is associated with an impaired control of transversus abdominis/internal oblique muscle (TrA/IO), volitionally and during anticipatory postural adjustment (delay) along maladaptive reorganization primary motor cortex (M1). Specific training deep trunk muscles repetitive peripheral magnetic stimulation (RPMS) improve control. We thus tested whether RPMS over TrA/IO combined could promote decrease beyond the gains already reached in CLBP.Thirteen CLBP patients,...
Background:Repetitive peripheral magnetic stimulation (RPMS) is a painless and noninvasive method to produce afferents via the depolarization of nervous system. A few studies tested RPMS after-effects on cerebral plasticity motor recovery in stroke individuals, but evidences remain limited.Objectives:This study aimed explore whether could mediate improvements corticomotor clinical outcomes associated with ankle impairments chronic stroke.Methods:Eighteen subjects were randomly allocated or...
Abstract The primary motor cortex (M1) presents a somatotopic organization of body parts, but with overlap between muscle/movement representations. This distinct overlapping M1 is believed to be important for individuated control and movement coordination, respectively. Discrete peaks greater excitability observed within might underpin cortical control. study aimed examine interactions representations synergist antagonist forearm muscles, compare regions during different functional tasks,...
To determine whether psychosocial factors such as resilience, perceived stress, catastrophizing, anxiety, depression, pain self-efficacy, and social support, explain the persistence of disability in individuals with RCRSP following an education program. One hundred forty-three persistent were included this prospective cohort study. At baseline, participants completed self-reported questionnaires related to pain, disability, constructs, including anxiety depressive symptoms, support....
Introduction: The presence of altered central pain processing and modulation, as well negative psychological factors, have been suggested to impede recovery in chronic low back (CLBP). Psychologically-informed physiotherapy (PiP) aims specifically address the latter factors—in addition physical factors—to improve treatment effects. This study determine if effect PiP is superior usual (UP) on sensitivity modulation participants with CLBP changes these variables were associated clinical...
Clustering helps identify patient subgroups with similar biopsychosocial profiles in acute low-back pain (LBP). Motor factors are common treatment targets and associated disability but have not been included LBP cluster development. This study aimed to of individuals based on motor, sensory psychological characteristics compare these regarding clinical outcomes. Ninety-nine participants were recruited, motor (bending range motion [ROM], flexion relaxation), sensitivity (pressure-pain...
Abstract Introduction Accumulating evidence suggests that motor skill training is associated with structural and functional reorganization of the primary cortex. However, previous studies have focussed primarily upon upper limb, it unclear whether comparable occurs following other regions, such as lower back. Although this holds important implications for rehabilitation, no examined corticomotor adaptations short‐term in Method The aims study were to (a) determine a lumbopelvic tilt...
