Associations between Measures of Structural Morphometry and Sensorimotor Performance in Individuals with Nonspecific Low Back Pain.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE To date, most structural brain imaging studies in individuals with nonspecific low back pain have evaluated volumetric changes. These alterations are particularly found in sensorimotor-related areas. Although it is suggested that specific measures, such as cortical surface area and cortical thickness, reflect different underlying neural architectures, the literature regar...
متن کاملEffects of Retro Walking on Pain, Physical Function and Flexibility in Chronic Non-Specific Low Back Pain
Objective Chronic Non-specific low back pain (CNSLBP) is described as pain whose pathoanatomical cause cannot be determined. The current study aimed to evaluate the impact of retro-walking on pain, flexibility, and physical functions in patients with CNSLBP. Methods: A randomized controlled trial was conducted in Physical Therapy department of District Head Quarter hospital Nankana Sahib, Punj...
متن کاملEvaluating the Prevalence of Lumbar Myofascial Pain Syndrome in Patients with Non-specific Chronic Low Back Pain and a Normal MRI Study
Abstract Introduction: Low back pain is a very common disorder that affects a significant percentage of people in the community (1). As a non-mechanical cause, myofascial pain is a primary disorder which may produce lumbar and lower limb pain and is not necessarily secondary to other diagnosis (2-5). Trigger points are the main symptoms of myofascial pain which may mimic the radicular pain in ...
متن کاملThe effect of dual task training on sit to stand postural control of elderly women with a history of falling
The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of dual task training including balance sit-to-stand and cognitive exercises on postural control of sit to stand of elderly women with a history of falling. 15 elderly women were randomly divided into control (n=7) and experimental (n=8) groups. Participants implemented training protocol for four weeks in both experimental (balance ...
متن کاملComputer-Aided Tinnitus Detection based on Brain Network Analysis of EEG Functional Connectivity
Background: Tinnitus known as a central nervous system disorder is correlated with specific oscillatory activities within auditory and non-auditory brain areas. Several studies in the past few years have revealed that in the most tinnitus cases, the response pattern of neurons in auditory system is changed due to auditory deafferentation, which leads to variation and disruption of the brain net...
