Using a Motion Sensor to Categorize Nonspecific Low Back Pain Patients: A Machine Learning Approach

Small Ball Exercise Program for Patients With Chronic Nonspecific Low Back Pain: A Randomized Clinical Trial

Purpose: Low back pain (LBP) is one of the main causes of disability in adults. Approximately 80% of LBPs lead to chronic nonspecific low back pain (CNSLBP). Damages to back region may be due to weak musculoskeletal structure, impaired muscle or joint flexibility, changes in muscle tone, and reduced strength and endurance. A set of exercises by small ball was designed by the corresponding and f...

Evaluation of Nonspecific Low Back Pain Using a New Detailed Visual Analogue Scale for Patients in Motion, Standing, and Sitting: Characterizing Nonspecific Low Back Pain in Elderly Patients

Because we have a clinical impression that elderly patients have low back pain while in motion and standing, but less pain when sitting, we investigate characteristics of nonspecific low back pain (NSLBP), using a new detailed visual analog scale (VAS) scoring system. One hundred eighty-nine patients with NSLBP were divided into an elderly group (≥65 years old, n = 56) and a young group (<65 ye...

A comparative study of trunk proprioception between patients with chronic non-specific low back pain and discopathic low back pain

Introduction: Low back pain is one of the most common disorders in modern society. Disturbed properioception can be a possible cause of low back pain and can cause recurrence of low back pain. Previous studies have shown that low back pain reduces proprioception due to instability in the low back. Since the degenerative process of disc herniation is one of the important factors in exacerbating ...

X-ray scans for nonspecific low back pain: a nonspecific pain?

Evidence • A meta-analysis1 (N = 1804) examined 2 magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) trials and 4 x-ray trials; 0% to 44% of patients had sciatica. -The trials were of relatively good quality but there was a lot of heterogeneity (except with pain). -Short-term and long-term outcomes of pain, function, quality of life, mental health, and patient satisfaction did not di...
