Background: The Ibadan Low Back Pain Disability Questionnaire (ILBPDQ) was developed to meet the need for a LBP treatment outcome measure that was appropriate for the Nigerian culture and environment. The objective of this study was to determine the psychometric properties of ILBPDQ.Methods: This study used the validation design. One hundred and forty-two participants with LBP (LBPPs) and 142 age and sex-matched participants without LBP (NLBPPs) were included. The LBPPs were recruited consecutively from Physiotherapy clinics of selected tertiary hospitals in the six geopolitical zones of Nigeria. Both LBPPs and NLBPPs completed the ILBPDQ - the LBPPs completed the Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS). The ILBPDQ was completed by 113 LBPPs two days after initial assessment. Sixty-four of the LBPPs received physiotherapy for 5-weeks, after which they were reassessed using ILBPDQ and NPRS.Results: ILBPDQ score of LBPPs was significantly higher than that of NLBPPs (construct validity) and LBPPs NPRS score correlated significantly with their ILBPDQ score (r = 0.50) at baseline and post intervention (r =0.35) (divergent validity). ILBPDQ scores at baseline and 48 hours later for LBPPs correlated significantly (Intra Class Correlation =0.80) (test re -test reliability). Cronbach’s α for ILBPDQ was 0.84 (internal consistency). The postintervention ILBPDQ and NPRS scores for LBPPs were significantly lower than their pre-intervention ILBPDQ scores (responsiveness) and NPRS scores. The changes in ILBPDQ and NPRS scores of the LBPPs correlated significantly (r =0.62) (responsiveness).Conclusion: The ILBPDQ demonstrated evidence of validity, reliability and responsiveness.Keywords: Low back pain, Functional disability, Outcome measure, Psychometric testing, NigeriaFunding: University of Ibadan Senate Research Grant.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of physical therapy (kinesiotherapy or KT) for chronic non-specific low back pain (CNSLBP) in managing pain, improving functional and emotional state, and overall physical activity. Materials and methods. The study included 71 patients (17 men and 54 women) aged 1875 years (mean age 55.09 13.0 years) with CNSLBP, of whom 34 patients received standard KT and 37 patients received enhanced KT. Patients were asked to complete the Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS), the Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Questionnaire, the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), and the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ-SF) at baseline, after 7 days and 90 days. Results. In patients who received treatment, we observed a reduction in pain intensity as measured by the NPRS, from a score of 8 at baseline (68) to 3 (24) points after 7 days and down to 2 (04) after 3 months (p 0.0001). Depression severity decreased from 7 (59) points to 5 (37) after 7 days (p = 0.002) and 4 (36) points after 90 days (p = 0.002). Anxiety decreased from 7 (510) to 6 (48) after 7 days (p = 0.0003) and 5 (37) points after 90 days (p = 0.0003). The Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Questionnaire score decreased from 46% (3457.77) to 28% (1235.55) after 7 days (p 0.0001), and then to 11.11% (4.4426) after 90 days (p 0.0001). Physical activity as measured by the IPAQ-SF increased from 11 (716) to 16 (1319) points after 7 days (p = 0.001) and to 23 (1526) points after 90 days (p = 0.0002). The patient group receiving enhanced KT had a more significant reduction in pain as measured by the NPRS after 7 days and 3 months (p = 0.02 and p = 0.055, respectively), depression as measured by the HADS (p 0.05), and disability as measured by the Oswestry Questionnaire (p = 0.015), accompanied by an increase in physical activity as measured by the IPAQ-SF after 90 days (p = 0.0002), as compared to the patient group receiving standard KT. Conclusion. KT not only reduces pain but also improves the functional and emotional state, and increases physical activity in patients with CNSLBP. Enhancing KT by using a personalized approach and educational programmes improves long-term treatment outcomes.

Introduction. Exercises are important in the management of non-specific chronic low-back pain (NSCLBP). Aim. The study compared the effects of bridging and V-sitting exercises on pain and disability of patients with NSCLBP. Material and methods. 34 patients with NSCLBP recruited for the study were allocated into V-sitting (VSG) and Bridging Exercise group (BEG) equally. Participants in VSG and BEG groups performed V-sitting and bridging exercises respectively for 10 seconds, three times in a week for three weeks under a supervision of one of the authors. Each participants underwent ten sessions per a treatment regimen. Pain intensity and disability were assessed at the pre-intervention, second and third weeks using verbal rating scale and Rolland Morris Low Back Pain Disability Questionnaire prospectively. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics, alpha level was set at 0.05 Results. There was a significant reduction in the third week (P < 0.001) in both VSG and BEG group of pain intensity and disability comparing the pre intervention, second and third week values. There was a significant reduction in the 3rd week VSG’s pain intensity (F=27.34 P<0.001) and disability (F=14.96, P<0.001) compared with BEG. Conclusion. V-sitting and bridging exercises were effective in management of patients with NSCLP, but V-sitting seems more effective.

Idiopathic low back pain can be considered as a chronic condition, characterized by recurrent episodes of pain and functional limitation. The aim of this study is to compare two therapeutic methods to treat this chronic disease: the oxygen-ozone therapy and the diathermy through Tear<sup>®</sup> therapy. Two groups of 10 patients each who suffered from postural idiopathic low back pain due to different pathologies have been recruited. All selected patients have been evaluated through spinometry and have been given the <em>Oswestry low back pain disability questionnaire</em> to fill in at the beginning of the treatments and at the end of them with a three-month follow-up. The first group underwent a diathermy treatment through Tecar<sup>®</sup> therapy, whilst the second group received an oxygen-ozone therapy treatment through a paravertebral lumbar infiltration; both treatments have been associated with a standard physiokinesitherapy treatment. Data collected through Formetric spinometry show an improvement in both groups, but in the second group (treated with oxygen-ozone therapy+physiokinesitherapy), the improvement is greater (from 6% to 57%) against the first group (from 20% to 38%). In conclusion, the study has cor roborated the validity of both treatments leading to improvement of symptomatology, but while one treatment leads to some relapses after a few months, the second one has a greater healing effect, which preserves over time.

BACKGROUND: Low back pain is an important health problem that may cause functional loss. Several back pain disability scales have been developed in different languages. OBJECTIVE: The present study evaluates the correlation between the Istanbul Low Back Pain Disability Index (ILBPDI) the Back Pain Functional Scale (BPFS) and other back pain disability scales in patients with mechanical low back pain. METHODS: Included in the study were 105 patients who presented to our outpatient clinics and who were diagnosed with mechanical low back pain. The ILBPDI, BPFS, Quebec back pain disability scale (QBPDS) and Oswestry low back pain disability questionnaire (ODI) were administered to all participants, and Visual analogue scale (VAS) scores were recorded. RESULTS: A strongly negative correlation was identified between ILBPDI and BPFS (p< 0.05), and a strongly positive correlation was noted between ILBPDI and QBPDS, ODI and VAS. CONCLUSION: A strong correlation exists between ILBPDI and BPFS, and a further strong correlation between ILBPDI ODI and QBPDS. These questionnaires can be used interchangeably to evaluate disability associated with chronic mechanical low back pain.

Ergonomic Risk Factors

Automobile mechanic work is an extensive and physically hard job. Consequently, the automobile workers suffer from ergonomic risk factors including Low Back Pain (LBP) as a major.Objective: To find out the prevalence of Low Back pain (LBP) and disability among automobile mechanics in Lahore.Methodology:The study was cross-sectional and included 180 automechanics of Lahore. Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Questionnaire (OLBPDQ) was used to measure the disability caused by pain. Pain was measured by Visual Analog Scale (VAS). Data was collected from 180 auto mechanics from auto repair shops of Lahore.Results:Out of 180 individuals, 125 subjects reported LBP with average age of 30±5.3 years. 87 individuals (69.6%) were minimally disabled and 31 individuals (24.8%) experienced moderate disability, whereas only 7 individuals (5.6%) experienced severedisability in activities of daily living (ADLs).Conclusions:LBP is highly frequent among automobile mechanics. Majority of the individuals suffering from LBP had minimal disability. The rate of moderate disability was also noticeable but number of individuals with severe disability was very low. Overall, LBP disturbed the quality of life.
