The relation between the transversus abdominis muscles, sacroiliac joint mechanics, and low back pain.
STUDY DESIGN Two abdominal muscle patterns were tested in the same group of individuals, and their effects were compared in relation to sacroiliac joint laxity. One pattern was contraction of the transversus abdominis, independently of the other abdominals; the other was a bracing action that used all the lateral abdominal muscles. OBJECTIVES To demonstrate the biomechanical effect of the exe...
متن کاملLow back pain, the stiffness of the sacroiliac joint: a new method using ultrasound.
Abnormal biomechanical properties of the sacroiliac joints are believed to be related to low back and pelvic pain. Presently, physiotherapists judge the condition of the sacroiliac joints by function and provocation tests, and palpation. No objective measuring device is available. Research is ongoing to identify the biomechanical properties of the sacroiliac joints from the dynamic behaviour of...
متن کاملFacet Joint Injection for Low Back Pain
Therapeutic injection of facet joints is now widely practised, but British experience has been infrequently reported. We studied the results of injecting facet joints with a corticosteroid preparation in 50 patients suffering from the “facet syndrome”. Our series included a number of exfra-articular injections and these “failed injections” provide a useful control group. Results indicate that o...
متن کاملSteroid vs. Platelet-Rich Plasma in Ultrasound-Guided Sacroiliac Joint Injection for Chronic Low Back Pain.
BACKGROUND Despite widespread use of steroids to treat sacroiliac joint (SIJ) pain, their duration of pain reduction is short. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) can potentially enhance tissue healing and may have a longer-lasting effect on pain. OBJECTIVES To assess the efficacy and safety of PRP compared with methylprednisolone in ultrasound-guided SIJ injection for low back pain. STUDY DESIGN Pr...
متن کاملIgnoring the sacroiliac joint in chronic low back pain is costly [Corrigendum]
BACKGROUND Increasing evidence supports minimally invasive sacroiliac joint (SIJ) fusion as a safe and effective treatment for SIJ dysfunction. Failure to include the SIJ in the diagnostic evaluation of low back pain could result in unnecessary health care expenses. DESIGN Decision analytic cost model. METHODS A decision analytic model calculating 2-year direct health care costs in patients...
