Objective Outcome

In order to evaluate the effectiveness of a rehabilitation programme for patients with chronic back pain, data on the subjective outcomes of perceived pain intensity (as measured by the Visual Analogue Scale Horizontal) and perceived level of disability (as measured by the Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Questionnaire), and the objective outcome of functional capacity (as measured by the West Standardised Evaluation), were collected on 51 subjects prior to entry into a back pain rehabilitation programme and at discharge. The results at discharge showed a significant reduction in the perceived level of disability and a significant Increase in the functional capacity. The perceived pain intensity did not change significantly. The discussion focuses on the importance of directing therapeutic interventions towards increasing physical function rather than concentrating on the reduction or elimination of pain.

Behavioural Performance

The landmark paper discussed in this chapter, ‘Pain-related fear is more disabling than pain itself: Evidence on the role of pain-related fear in chronic back pain disability’, published by Crombez et al. in 1999, investigates the issue of disability in chronic low back pain and explores the role of psychological factors in disability. The paper reports on three independent chronic low back pain studies in which behavioural performance and the degree of reported disability were correlated with psychological factors such as catastrophization, negative affect, anxiety, and pain-related fear (e.g. fear of re-injury). In a counterintuitive finding, pain-related fear was more disabling that the pain itself. This paper thus highlighted the need to assess and address the psychological domains of pain; it also validated three questionnaires that are important in the pain field, and established a biopsychosocial approach to understanding, explaining, and treating chronic low back pain.

Background and Objective. The aim of this study was to compare the leg extensor muscle strength, the postural stability, and the fear of falling in the women with severe knee joint osteoarthritis (OA) before and after a 2-month home exercise program (HEP). Material and Methods. In total, 17 women aged 46–72 years with late-stage knee joint OA scheduled for total knee arthroplasty participated in this study before and after the 2-month HEP with strengthening, stretching, balance, and step exercises. The isometric peak torque (PT) of the leg extensors and postural stability characteristics when standing on a firm or a foam surface for 30 seconds were recorded. The fear of falling and the pain intensity (VAS) were estimated. Results. A significant increase in the PT and the PT-to-body weight (PT-to-BW) ratio of the involved leg as well as the bilateral PT and the PT-to-BW ratio was found after the 2-month HEP compared with the data before the HEP (P<0.05). The PT and the PT-to-BW ratio of the involved leg were significantly lower compared with the uninvolved leg before the HEP (P<0.05). The center of the pressure sway length (foam surface) decreased significantly after the HEP (P<0.05). Significant correlations were found between the PT of the involved leg and the bilateral PT and the fear of falling and between the PT of the involved leg and the postural sway (foam surface) before the HEP. Conclusions. After the 2-month HEP, the leg extensor muscle strength increased and the postural sway length on a foam surface decreased. The results indicate that the increased leg extensor muscle strength improves postural stability and diminishes the fear of falling in women with latestage knee joint OA.

Progressive Resistance

We evaluated the efficacy of progressive resistance training of the pelvic floor muscle for post-prostatectomy incontinence. In this prospective study, 59 patients who underwent radical prostatectomy were evaluated preoperatively. Continence was sequentially assessed within 2 weeks postoperatively, and an exercise regimen was initiated at 6- and 12-weeks. The primary outcome was continent status and the secondary outcome was changes in muscle strength and endurance after the exercise intervention. Continence was defined as no urine loss in a 1h pad test. A total of 59 patients participated in this study. Six patients dropped out of the study because of non-compliance and orthopedic problems. Of the remaining 53 patients, 31 (58.5%) achieved pad-free continence at 12 weeks postoperatively. The patients were divided into two groups based on their continence status, and no statistically significant difference was observed in age, body mass index, prostate volume, prostate-specific antigen, pathological Gleason score sum, and pathological T stage. Meanwhile, preoperative maximal urethral closure pressure and change in hip extensor muscle strength and endurance during the 12-week exercise program were significantly higher in the continent group. In multivariate analysis, change in hip extensor muscle strength was the only significant parameter predicting achievement of continence status (Odds ratio, 1.039; p = 0.045). The changes in hip extensor muscle strength in the current exercise program was an independent predictor of continence status after radical prostatectomy. A large-scale prospective study on the relationship between extensor muscle strength and urinary incontinence should be explored in future.

OBJECTIVES: to measure the pain intensity, identify the disability and depression levels in people with chronic back pain and to correlate these variables. A cross-sectional, descriptive and exploratory study was undertaken at the Pain Treatment Clinic of the University of São Paulo at Ribeirão Preto Hospital das Clínicas, between February and June 2012, after receiving approval from the Ethics Committee at the University of São Paulo at Ribeirão Preto College of Nursing.METHOD: sixty subjects with chronic back pain participated. The instruments used were: the 11-point Numerical Category Scale, the Roland-Morris Disability Questionnaire and the Beck Depression Inventory. To analyze the data, the arithmetic means, standard deviations and Spearman's correlation coefficient were calculated.RESULTS: the findings show that the participants presented high pain, disability and depression levels. The correlation between pain intensity and disability and between pain intensity and depression was positive and weak and, between disability and depression, positive and moderate.CONCLUSION: the study variables showed moderate and weak indices and the mutual correlations were positive.
