Recurrent Low Back Pain

AbstractBackgroundMovement alterations due to low back pain (LBP) could lead to long-term adverse consequences if they do not resolve after symptom subsides. This study aims to determine if altered trunk control associated with recurrent low back pain persists beyond symptom duration.MethodsTwenty young adults with recurrent low back pain were tested once during an LBP episode and once in symptom remission, and twenty matched back-healthy participants served as controls. Participants walked on a treadmill with five prescribed step widths. Motion capture and surface electromyography were used to record frontal plane trunk kinematics and muscle activation. Thorax-pelvis coordination was calculated using vector coding technique, and bilateral longissimus activation and co-activation were analyzed.FindingsYoung adults with recurrent LBP exhibited a “looser” trunk control strategy in the frontal plane during gait that was persistent regardless of pain status across multiple step widths compared to back-healthy controls. This was demonstrated by a greater pelvis-only, less thorax-only coordination pattern, and decreased bilateral longissimus co-activation in individuals with recurrent LBP than controls. The looser trunk control strategy was further amplified when individuals with recurrent LBP were in symptom remission and exhibited greater trunk excursion and reduced in-phase coordination.InterpretationThe amplification of aberrant movement during symptom remission may suggest that movement patterns or anatomical factors existing prior to the tested painful episode underlie the altered trunk control in individuals with recurrent LBP. The symptom remission period of recurrent LBP patients may be a critical window into clinical evaluation and treatment.

The Relationship

Posture is commonly perceived as the relationship between the segments of the human body upright. Certain parts of the body such as the cephalic extremity, neck, torso, upper and lower limbs are involved in the final posture of the body. Musculoskeletal instabilities and reduced postural control lead to the installation of nonstructural posture deviations in all 3 anatomical planes. When we talk about the sagittal plane, it was concluded that there are 4 main types of posture deviation: hyperlordotic posture, kyphotic posture, rectitude and "sway-back" posture.Pilates method has become in the last decade a much more popular formof exercise used in rehabilitation. The Pilates method is frequently prescribed to people with low back pain due to their orientation on the stabilizing muscles of the pelvis. Pilates exercise is thus theorized to help reactivate the muscles and, by doingso, increases lumbar support, reduces pain, and improves body alignment.
