Objective: To determine the prevalence and factors associated with neuropathic pain in patients with non-specific low back pain. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study conducted from May to July 2016 in the Rheumatology, Neurology and Neurosurgery departments of Lome. The DN4 questionnaire was used for the diagnosis of neuropathic pain in the 200 patients with low back pain included in this study. Results: Of the 200 patients (147 women and 53 men) included in the study, neuropathic pain was present in 92 (46%). The average age of the 92 patients (67 women vs 25 men, p = 0.04) was 55.5 ± 12.4 years (women 55.2 ± 12.8 vs. men 54.6 ± 11.4, p = 0.5). The characteristics of neuropathic pain mainly found were: burning sensation (n = 67, 72.8%); electrical discharges (n = 64, 69.6%); tingling (n = 90; 97.8%); tickling (n = 57; 62%); numbness (n = 89; 96.7%); hypoesthesia (n = 52; 56.5%). Factors significantly associated with the presence of neuropathic pain in LBP were age (p = 0.005), duration of LBP (p = 0.04), high blood pressure (p = 0.001), radicular pain (p = 0.00002) and the past history of the LBP (0.000000). Conclusion: Neuropathic pain is common in patients with LBP at Lome. The duration of LBP, past history of LBP, previous NSAID use, BMI, pain severity and radicular pain appear to be predictive of the occurrence of these neuropathic pains.

Background: Low back pain (LBP) is a common cause of disability worldwide. Healthcare workers are particularly prone to it because of the physical and emotional factors associated with their profession.Objectives: To determine the prevalence, perception and correlates of LBP among healthcare workers in tertiary health institutions in Sokoto, Nigeria.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 320 healthcare workers selected by multistage sampling technique from July to September 2016. Anthropometry was done for the participants in addition to questionnaire administration.Results: The mean age of the study participants was 36.99 +/- 8.23 years. The lifetime, annual, and point prevalence of LBP among the participants were 56.2%, 39.1% and 17.2% respectively. Most, 151 (83.9%) of the 180 participants that have ever experienced LBP reported that it commenced after starting work, and they perceived it to be due to standing for long hours (57.2%), awkward postures (22.2%) and carrying heavy objects/patients at work (20.6%). Older age, female sex, longer duration of practice, overweight/obesity, and lifting heavy objects/patients at work were significantly associated with LBP among the participants.Conclusion: The prevalence of LBP is high among healthcare workers in Sokoto, Nigeria; although it was also associated with older age and female sex, being in practice for 10 years and above, overweight/obesity, and lifting heavy objects/patients at work were the predictors identified. Management of the respective hospitals should prevent workplace exposures to heavy weight/objects by establishing “lift teams” as a temporary measure, and also implement “zero lift programs” in their facilities.Funding: NilKeywords: Prevalence, perception, correlates, low back pain, healthcare workers.

Purpose: Different assessment strategies for radiating low back pain (LBP) abound across and within primary-contact disciplines yet physical diagnosis of the involved faulty anatomical structures remain difficult. This study investigated pattern of pain distribution in patients with gluteal-related low back pain. Methods: The study involved forty (40) participants with radiating low back pain who were referred for physiotherapy from two major referral clinical settings in Ghana. They were recruited into the cross-sectional survey through consecutive sampling technique. Using marker and transparent tracing sheet, gluteal triangle was outlined from the lumbar region, the involved gluteal region and the posterior part of the involved thigh. Pattern of pain distribution was noted and physically correlated with stereotype patterns of pressure points as gold standard. Data analysis involved mean, frequency distribution, percentage distributions and z-score. Alpha value was considered significant at p < 0.05. Results: The mean ages, year (SD) were 52.0 years (12.0) and 48 years (15) for male and female, respectively. Myofascial and piriformis syndromes were the most predominant presentations among the patients recording 13 (32.5%) and 10 (25%), respectively. Male group recorded 9 (22.5%) of pain originating from myofascial syndrome compared to 4 (10%) assessed in their female counterparts. There was no gender difference in the proportion of pattern of pain distribution among the participants. Conclusion: This study demonstrated different patterns of pain distribution and was found to be consistent with gold standard pressure point in the assessment of patients with radiating LBP, thus it can be included as complimentary diagnostic tool in clinical practice.

Background: Individuals with obesity will experience an increase in the angle of calcaneal eversion which has an impact on increasing the workload of the muscles to maintain joint stability, so that tension occurs in the gastrocnemius muscle which affects its extensibility ability. Increasing the angle of calcaneal eversion will cause changes in lumbopelvic alignment so that it can cause low back pain. The aim of the study was to determine the correlation between the angle of calcaneal eversion and gastrocnemius extensibility with nonspecific low back pain in obese women.Methods: This research was a cross sectional analytic study with simple random sampling technique. The number of samples are 78 women aged 36-55 years old. The variables measured were functional pain reduction score in nonspecific low back pain with modified Oswestry disability questionnaire, the angle of calcaneal eversion and gastrocnemius extensibility with goniometer.Results: Our study showed that there was no significant correlation between the angle of calcaneal eversion and gastrocnemius extensibility. However, there was a significant correlation between gastrocnemius extensibility and low back pain at the level of 0.033. In addition, there was a significant correlation between the angle of calcaneal eversion and low back pain at the level of 0,000.Conclusions: There was a significant correlation between the angle of calcaneal eversion and gastrocnemius extensibility with low back pain. However, the angle of calcaneal eversion is not directly related to gastrocnemius extensibility.

BACKGROUND Kendall’s approach is used to test the muscles strength and to determine the correct alignment of the muscle fibers. The major causes of back pain are work related problem, mechanical stress on muscles and faulty postures, which leads to core muscle weakness particularly rectus abdominis or may cause DRA. Thus the study aims to identify a causal relationship between low back pain and rectus abdominis muscle weakness using Kendall’s grading scale. STUDY DESIGN Cross Sectional Study SAMPLING TECHNIQUE Non-probability convenience sampling technique METHODOLOGY 142 (men 33.80% and women 66.20%) participants with low back pain were recruited in the study. The Kendall grading scale test the strength of muscles of the upper and lower rectus abdominis muscles among the participants while self-administered questionnaire was used to identify the nature of the back pain. RESULT Sperman’s rho coefficient of correlation was applied to find out the cause effective correlation between the two variables, result shows no significant cause effective correlation between the upper and lower back pain and lower rectus abdominis muscles weakness (P>0.05) with r= 0.065 and r=0.031respectively. CONCLUSION Although core muscle weaknesses are the source of back pain but no significant cause effective correlation exist between the two variables in this study.

It is assumed that mechanical restriction of hamstring tightness disrupts sagittal spine–pelvis–leg alignment and alters the lumbar–pelvic rhythm predisposing to low back pain (LBP) in athletes; however, this association is not clear. A prospective cross-sectional cohort study was conducted to determine the influence of hamstring extensibility (HE) on sagittal pelvic tilt, sagittal spinal curves, and LBP in 94 soccer and basketball players (61 man and 33 woman) with (n = 36) and without recurrent LBP (n = 58). Descriptive analysis displayed significant gender differences for HE, sagittal pelvic tilt, and lumbar curve. Differences were found between the low-HE and high-HE groups in lumbosacral angle in for the maximum trunk forward flexion (LH-MTFP). Low-HE was associated with LH-MTFP, lumbar curve and LBP in male players (p ≤ 0.023). In female players, LH-MTFP and lumbar curve were associated with low-HE (p ≤ 0.020). Low-HE predicted LH-MTFP (p = 0.000; OR = 65.6950) and LBP (p = 0.028; OR = 13.915) in male players. The decision tree analysis showed that 50.8% of the players were classified with restricted LH-MTFP, 77.4% with low-HE among male players. The 100% of male players with recurrent LBP had low-HE. The 65% of female players with low-HE had restricted LH-MTFP. Measurement of HE, lumbar curve, and LH-MTFP are important in making training decisions for to reduce the incidence of recurrent LBP in soccer and basketball players.
