Abstract Background Mechanical low back pain (MLBP) is a major cause of illness and disability, especially in people of working age. People with chronic low back pain often experience anger, fear, anxiety, decrease in physical ability, and inadequacy of role fulfillment. Objective This study aimed to compare the efficacy of extension exercise program versus muscle energy technique in treating patients with chronic mechanical low back pain. Subjects and methods Forty patients complaining of chronic mechanical low back pain participated in the study. Patients were randomly allocated into two equal groups: group A which received spinal extension exercise program and group B which received muscle energy technique. Treatment sessions were given three times per week for four successive weeks. Patients were assessed before and after treatment using visual analogue scale (VAS), Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), and digital goniometer to assess pain intensity, functional disability, and range of motion (ROM) of lumbar spine respectively. Results There was significant decrease in the scores of pain and functional disability in both groups post-treatment especially in group B. There was significant increase in lumbar range of motion in both groups post-treatment, especially in group A. Conclusion Extension exercise program had better effect on improving lumbar range of motion, whereas muscle energy technique was better in decreasing pain and functional disability in patients with chronic mechanical low back pain.

Lower back pain is one of the most common problems in adults all over the world, and chances of having back pain increases with the age. Objectives: To determine the effect of tailored motor control rehabilitation versus standard exercise program in chronic nonspecific lower back pain. Study Design: Non randomized clinical study. Methodology: A non randomized clinical study was conducted in six-month during 2018 after ethical approval. 40 patients were enrolled through non-probability purposive sampling technique and allocated into two groups (Group A & B). Informed consent was obtained. Individuals between twenty to forty years with chronic nonspecific low back pain with intensity at least 3 on a 10cm visual analog scale (VAS) were included and individuals with past history of trauma of the spine and hip and with any red flags were excluded. Outcomes were measures by Modified Oswestry Disability Index (MODI) and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). Statistical analysis: Data was analyzed by SPSS software, version 19 as qualitative variables were expressed as mean ± SD. Independent sample T test was also applied. Results: The mean age Group A was 29.05±8.58 and Group B, was 32.05±6.53 years. The result shows that there was a significant difference in outcomes among tailored motorcontrol rehabilitation (Group A) and standard exercise program (Group B). Conclusion: We concluded that motor control rehabilitation was more effective than standard exercise program in decreasing low back pain and improving quality of life. Key Words: Low Back Pain, Tailored Motor Control Rehabilitation, Standard Exercise Program and Modified Oswastry Disability Index.

During pregnancy there are physiological and psychological changes that can cause discomfort such as leg cramps, difficulty breathing, back pain, depression, anxiety and sleep disorders. The prevalence of low back pain is around 60-80% which can lead to strain on the ligaments and fatigue in the abdominal muscles, as well as balance disorders. This will lead to disruption of activities during pregnancy, such as difficulty walking and sleep disturbances. To assess low back pain and sleep quality among pregnant women: cross sectional study. Cross-sectional data were collected by 37 pregnant women with inclusion criteria were third trimester pregnant women, willing to be a respondent, with normal blood pressure, and have not received any medication related sleep disorder. They completed the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and Rolland-Morris Disability Questionaire (RDQ), statistical analysis was conducted using Pearson Correlation Product Moment. Research was conducted in Semarang and Kudus. Sleep quality among pregnant women demonstrated significanly poor overall sleep quality with PSQI score (mean 8.70 ± 3.511) and RDQ score (mean 8.97 ± 6.414). There was moderate correlation between low back pain with sleep quality (r correlation = 0.558). Low back pain have correlation to increase or decrease sleep quality among preganant women.

Nyeri punggung bawah pada kehamilan digambarkan sebagai nyeri pada daerah lumbar, diatas sakrum yang menyebabkan ketidaknyamanan selama kehamilan. Akupresur titik bladder 23 merupakan metode non-farmakologi yang dapat mengurangi nyeri punggung bawah. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui pengaruh akupresur titik bladder 23 terhadapintensitas nyeri punggung bawah ibu hamil trimester III di UPTD Puskesmas I Dinas Kesehatan Kecamatan Denpasar Utara. Penelitian ini menggunakan pre eksperimental dengan rancangan one grup pretest-posttest design.Sampel yang digunakan yaitu 12 orang ibu hamil trimester III dengan usia kehamilan 37-39 minggu dan di pilih secara purposive sampling. Data diambil dengan melakukan observasi intensitas nyeri punggung bawah sebelum dan sesudah dilakukan akupresur titik bladder 23. Responden melakukan akupresur sebanyak dua kali seminggu dengan durasi dua detik sebanyak 30 kali tekanan. Hasil intensitas nyeri punggung bawah sebelum perlakuan diperoleh nilai mean 4,17 dan setelah perlakuan berubah menjadi 2,67 dengan nilai ρ = 0,000 < α (0,05) dan nilai t (9,950). Simpulannya adalah ada pengaruh akupresur titik bladder 23 terhadap intensitas nyeri punggung bawah ibu hamil trimester III di UPTD Puskesmas I Dinas Kesehatan Kecamatan Denpasar Utara.Lower back pain in pregnancy described as pain in the lumbar region, above the sacrum which causes discomfort during pregnancy.Acupressurepoint bladder 23 is a non-pharmacological method that canreduce low back pain.This study aims to determine the effect of acupressure point bladder 23 on the low back pain level in third semester pregnant women in UPTD Puskesmas I of the Health Departement of North Denpasar. This is pre-experimental research with one group pretest-posttest design. The samples were 12pregnant women on third trimester with 37-39 weeks gestational age and were selected by purposive sampling. Data were collected byobserving the intensity of low back pain before and after treatment. Respondents did acupressure twice a week with the duration two seconds for each 30 times pressure. The results of low back pain intensity before treatment obtained a mean value of 4.17 and after the treatment there was reduce to 2.67 with a value of ρ = 0,000 <α (0.05) and t value (9,950). The conclusion is that there is an influence of acupressurepoint bladder 23 on the low back painintensityin third trimester pregnant women in UPTD Puskesmas I of the Health Departement of North Denpasar.

BACKGROUND: Low back pain is a common problem in pregnant woman. Elastic tape is an alternative method that may reduce low back pain. OBJECTIVES: To compare the effect of elastic tape to placebo tape in the treatment of low back pain in pregnant women. METHODS: Forty pregnant women were allocated into two groups: elastic group (n= 20) and placebo group (n= 20). All participants were taped by either stretched (elastic group) or non-stretched (placebo group) Kinesio tape at the lower back area for one week. RESULTS: After the application of stretched elastic tape, lower back pain was significantly reduced by 29.4% (p= 0.003) immediately post-taping and by a further 75.4% after wearing the tape for a week. Compared to the placebo group, lower back pain was significantly reduced in the elastic group after one week of wearing the tape (p< 0.001). Compared to placebo, the application of elastic tape significantly reduced the disability score (Roland-Morris Disability Questionnaire) after one week of wearing the tape (p= 0.018). Taping to the back improved walking speed (immediately and after one week) in both the elastic (p< 0.001, p< 0.001) and placebo groups (p< 0.001, p= 0.001); however, the application of either tape had little effect on posture change. CONCLUSION: Elastic tape reduced back pain and improved physical function in pregnant women compared to the placebo tape.
