onservative Correction of Leg - Length Discrepancies of 10 mm r Less for the Relief of Chronic Low Back Pain

چکیده
Objective: To study whether conservative correction in a eg-length discrepancy (LLD) of 10mm or less in patients with hronic low back pain (CLBP) can relieve pain. Design: Randomized, controlled intervention study, with a ean follow-up duration of 10 weeks. Setting: Physical therapy clinic of the national health ervices. Participants: Thirty-three patients with CLBP were creened for an LLD of 10mm or less, which was measured ith ultrasound. Patients were randomly divided into intervenion and control groups. Intervention: In 22 patients, LLD was corrected by applyng individually fitted shoe inserts. In 11 patients, LLD was not orrected. Main Outcome Measures: Chronic pain intensity (visual nalog scale) and disability score (Roland-Morris Disability uestionnaire). Results: Shoe inserts significantly reduced both pain intenity (P .001) and disability (P .05). A moderate positive orrelation was found between LLD and the degree of pain elief after wearing shoe inserts (r .47). Conclusions: Shoe inserts appear to reduce CLBP and funcional disability in patients with LLDs of 10mm or less. Shoe nserts are simple, noninvasive, and inexpensive therapeutic eans that can be added to the treatment of CLBP.
