Recurrent Low Back Pain

Athletes have higher thoracic and lumbar curvature in standing than the reference values of the non-athletic population. The sagittal integral morphotype method (SIM) assessment has not previously been applied to competitive amateur athletes (CAA). The propose of the present study was to determine the SIM of CAA treated at a sports-medicine center and to identify spinal misalignments associated with recurrent low back pain (LBP). An observational analysis was developed to describe the SIM in 94 CAA. The thoracic and lumbar curvatures of the CAA were measured in standing, sitting, and trunk forward flexion. Association analysis (Pearson’s chi-square and Cramér’s V tests) was then performed to identify the SIM misalignments associated with LBP. Effect size was analyzed based on Hedges’ g. The most common thoracic SIMs in CAA were total hyperkyphosis (male = 59.02%; female = 42.42%) and static hyperkyphosis (male = 11.48%; female = 6.06%). Hyperlordotic attitude (female = 30.30%; male = 4.92%), static-functional hyperkyphosis (male = 16.39%; female = 3.03%), and structured hyperlordosis (female = 21.21%; male = 1.64%) were the most common lumbar SIMs. Hyperlordotic attitude, static functional lumbar hyperkyphosis, and structured hyperlordosis were associated with LBP in male and female athletes.

The aim of this study was to determine the lifetime prevalence and point prevalence of low back pain (LBP), the related pain intensity and the rowing-related aggravating factors for LBP in Estonian rowers. A total of 78 rowers (38 female and 40 male subjects) completed a single questionnaire at the start of the competitive rowing season to determine lifetime and point prevalence, pain intensity and rowing-related LBP aggravating factors. The lifetime prevalence was high in both male and female rowers (90% and 93%, respectively), and the reported point prevalence of LBP was 10% in males and 21.1% in females. Female rowers reported significantly higher (p=0.02) LBP intensity when training 7–16 hours per week, when compared to females whose training volume was less than six hours per week. Rowing-related LBP aggravated factors were long rowing workouts, weight training and sitting for a long period of time. LBP is highly prevalent in rowers and female rowers seemed to be more prone to developing higher intensity LBP when training loads increased. Coaches should cooperate more with sports medicine specialists to better prepare female athletes core endurance to tolerate longer duration rowing workouts and prevent LBP.

Recurrent Low Back Pain

Chronic low back pain is a heterogeneous group of disorders with recurrent low back pain over 3 months. The high incidence of lumbago is an important phenomenon in our industrial society. Patients with chronic low back pain often receive multidisciplinary treatment. The bio approach, the psycho-approach, and the social approach optimally reduce the risk of chronicity by providing rehabilitation for patients with persistent pain after the initial acute phase. Damage to the structures of the spinal cord and the occurrence of low back pain as a result of evolutionary, social and medical causes disrupt the rhythm of life and cause less or greater disability. Recovery of patients with low back pain is not limited only to influencing the pain syndrome but requires the implementation of programs to eliminate the complaints that this pathology generates in personal, family and socio-professional terms. This paper aims to familiarize the audience with the medication used, and the programs for active recovery in patients suffering from chronic low back pain.

Objectives. The current study assessed the role of hypervigilance for bodily sensations in the back in long term low back pain (LBP) problems. Methods. People with chronic low back pain (CLBP), recurrent low back pain (RLBP), and no LBP were compared on the extent to which they attended to somatosensory stimuli on the back during a movement task. To measure hypervigilance, somatosensory event-related potentials (SEP) to task-irrelevant tactile stimuli on the back were measured when preparing movements in either a threatening or a neutral condition, indicated by a cue signaling possible pain on the back during movement or not. Results. Results showed stronger attending to stimuli on the back in the threat condition than in the neutral condition, as reflected by increased amplitude of the N96 SEP. However, this effect did not differ between groups. The CLBP group showed a larger P171 SEP than the other groups, but this effect was not dependent upon condition, suggesting a more general state of arousal resulting in increased somatosensory responsiveness. No significant associations were found between somatosensory attending to the back and theorized antecedents such as pain catastrophizing, pain-related fear and pain vigilance. Discussion. The current study confirmed that individuals preparing a movement attended more towards somatosensory stimuli at the lower back when anticipating back pain during the movement, as measured by the N96 SEP. However, no differences were found for this component between participants suffering from CLBP or RLBP, or the healthy controls.

Abstract: Low Back Pain (LBP) is the most frequent musculosceletal issue found in daily work. Extenuating physical positions comprise 80-85% of the caues of  LBP. In the medical world, a lot of causes of LBP do not identify the pathoanatomical disorders. These factors are e.g.: body in static position while working and the working body position leaning heavily on the vertebra (for example: sitting in a hunched position, sitting upright without back support, or working for unsually long periods of time). Until now in Manado no study has been carried out to show the correlation between LBP and the sitting position, or the duration of work. This study aimed to find out the correlation between chronic LBP and the sitting position or the duration of work among bank employees in one of the goverment banks in Manado. The results showed that there were 69 respondents involved in this study. Chronic LBP was found in 62 respondents (90%). Up stright position while sitting was the most frequent position that caused chronic LBP in 28 respondents. The average time used for working with sitting position was 7-8 hours which caused chronic LBP among 31 respondents of the group with the work time from 11.00-13.59. A P-value of 0.000 (<0.05) showed that there was a strong correlation between sitting position and chronic LBP. Duration of work also showed a strong correlation with chronic LBP with a P-value of 0.000. Conclusion: There were strong correlations beween chronic low back pain with sitting position while working and duration of work. Keywords: chronic LBP chronic, sitting position, duration of work, bank employees.   Abstrak:Nyeri Punggung Bawah (NPB) merupakan gangguan muskuloskeletal yang paling sering dijumpai dalam aktivitas kerja. Faktor mekanik mencakup 80-85% dari keseluruhan penyebaNPB. Patoanatomi sering tidak dapat memberikan ketepatan diagnosis NPB oleh proses mekanik. Faktor mekanik yang mempercepat terjadinya gangguan NPB antara lain posisi badan yang cenderung statis, posisi badan yang cenderung memperberat kerja tulang-tulang vertebra seperti posisi badan membungkuk, tegak tanpa sandaran, dan waktu bekerja yang lama saat duduk. Hubungan NPB dengan posisi dan lama duduk belum pernah dilaporkan di Kota Manado. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan posisi dan lama duduk saat bekerja yang dapat menimbulkan NPB mekanik kronik pada karyawan bank. Hasil penelitian memperlihatkan dari keseluruhan responden yang berjumlah 69 orang, didapatkan 62 responden (90%) yang mengalami NPB mekanik kronik. Posisi duduk tegak tanpa sandaran merupakan posisi terbanyak menimbulkan NPB mekanik kronik pada 28 responden. Rata-rata lama duduk bekerja 7-8 jam menyebabkan NPB pada kelompok pukul 11.00-13.59 sebanyak 31 responden. Analisis statistik menggunakan uji chi-square memperlihatkan adanya korelasi yang kuat (P = 0,000) antara posisi duduk dan NBP mekanik kronik Lama duduk juga berkorelasi kuat dengan NBP mekanik kronik (P = 0,000). Simpulan: Terdapat hubungan yang kuat antara NBP mekanik kronik dengan posisi dan lama duduk pada karyawan bank. Kata kunci: NPB mekanik kronik, posisi duduk, lama duduk, karyawan bank.
