Abstract
Background: Low back pain is the third most reported complaint after headache and chronic fatigue, and more than 80% of the population will experience low back pain at some point in their lives.
Objective: We conducted this study to investigate the effects of instrument-assisted manipulation (IAM) and mobilization with movement (MWM) on joint range of motion (ROM), pain, proprioception, endurance, back awareness, and disability in individuals with chronic nonspecific low back pain (CNSLBP).
Methods: 51 participants with CNSLBP were randomized to one of three groups: (1) MWM; (2) IAM; or (3) core exercise. Joint ROM, pain, proprioception, endurance, back awareness, and disability were assessed at baseline, week 2 and 6.
Results: Joint ROM and activity pain scores increased in all groups (p < 0.05). Both activity and resting pain improved in the MWM group (p < 0.001; p = 0.004). Most measures related to proprioception improved in the MWM group (p = 0.005; p = 0.016; p = 0.016). Endurance increased in all groups, but the flexor endurance increase was higher in the MWM group (p < 0.05). Back awareness and disability increased in all groups (p < 0.05), but disability increased most in MWM group (p = 0.022).
Conclusions: MWM could effectively improve pain, proprioception, endurance, and disability.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Back and Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation is a journal whose main focus is to present relevant information about the interdisciplinary approach to musculoskeletal rehabilitation for clinicians who treat patients with back and musculoskeletal pain complaints. It will provide readers with both 1) a general fund of knowledge on the assessment and management of specific problems and 2) new information considered to be state-of-the-art in the field. The intended audience is multidisciplinary as well as multi-specialty.
In each issue clinicians can find information which they can use in their patient setting the very next day.
