Abstract Background Low back pain (LBP) is one of the leading causes of disability worldwide. While its main cause is mostly unknown, more than 80% of people experience this disorder during their lifetime .Some clinical evidence suggests that people with chronic LBP have various lower extremity movement disorders. This study aims to systematically review the literature on comparing the kinematics of the lumbopelvic region and lower limb joints in people with non-specific low back pain (NS-LBP) compared to healthy individuals. Methods/design: We will search main electronic databases (Medline/PubMed, Scopus, Embase, Web of Science, Pedro, ProQuest and Google Scholar) and two key journals (Journal of Electromyography and Kinesiology, Clinical Biomechanics). Also, the reference list of the previous systematic reviews would be hand-searched. Studies that have examined the kinematic differences in lumbopelvic or lower limbs between NS-LBP and healthy individuals will be included. We will examine the methodological quality and statistical reporting of each eligible trial using the Newcastle – Ottawa Scale (NOS). Discussion To our knowledge, this study will be the first systematic review to examine the kinematic differences of the lower limb joints and pelvic complex between healthy people and NS-LBP. Since the kinematic assessment of the lower extremities and pelvic joints during daily activities may help understand underlying factors causing LBP, it is important to evaluate the kinematic changes in these regions, during repetitive daily functions in these patients.

Context: Spondylodiscitis is a term that includes vertebral osteomyelitis, spondylitis and discitis. Among the vertebrae, the most affected are the lumbar (45%), followed by the thoracic (35%). Adults present themselves progressively, with a predominant complaint of low back pain and pain on palpation of the affected site, with significant limitation of movement due to muscle spasms. Report a clinical case with an emphasis on the possibility of early diagnosis and correct treatment aimed at the recovery of patients with neurological sequelae. Analysis of medical records in a patient admitted to the neurology ward of Santa Casa de Belo Horizonte. Clinical Case report: A.I.S. patient, 45 years old, with chronic low back pain due to asymmetry of the left lower limb. History of wear of the femoral head diagnosed in adolescence. Evolving for 2 months with progressive weakness in the lower limbs, associated with paresis and paresis in the left lower limb. He performed abdominal USG which showed hepatosplenomegaly with collateral circulation, increased caliber of the portal, splenic and superior mesenteric veins. Tomography of the lumbosacral spine with osteolytic lesions in the joints of L2-L3, L3-L4 and L4-L5., With almost total osteolysis of the L4 vertebral body, retropulsion of much later at this level, suggesting spondylodiscitis. The resonance of the lumbar spine performed with acute spondylodiscitis L2-L3 and L3-L4, compressing the roots of the equine tail with a comprehensive potential, remains as the emerging emerging roots. Liquid filling of the L3- L4 intervebral disc compatible with acute spondylodiscitis. Staphylococcus aureus and enterobacteria are responsible for more than half of the cases of non-tuberculosis. Conclusion: The diagnosis of discitis can be quite difficult, due to the rarity of the disease, the insidious symptoms and the high prevalence of low back pain in the general population. It is considered an important morbidity factor, as it causes an important neurological sequel. In addition, it points to the importance of differential diagnosis of low back pain in the population.

Gridhrasi is one of the 80 Nanatmaja Vata Vyadhi, which is caused by the aggravation of Vata Dosha; it can be divided into Vataja and Vatakaphaja. Gridhrasi can be equated with sciatica where pain, weakness, numbness and other discomfort along the path of sciatic nerve often accompanies with low back pain. In this study, 49 years old male patient complaints of low back pain radiating to both lower limb since one year, he was also complaining numbness on right lower limb. During clinical examination SLR test, Lasegue’s sign were positive on both lower limbs. He was diagnosed as Gridhrasi. Patient was advice to take Rasnaamritadi Kashayam twice daily in a dose of 50 ml one hour before meals. Rasnaamritadi Kashaya mentioned in Yoga amritam text Vata Vyadhi Chikitsa chapter. Drug mentioned in the yoga possess Vatahara, Kaphahara, Amapachana, Shoolahara and Shophahara property. After 30 days of treatment, he got 75% relief in low back pain and 90% relief in radiating pain and also there was an improvement in SLR and Lasegue’s sign.

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.
