Correlation of pain and lumbar arch with electromyography of ankle muscle in athletes with low back pain

Authors

Abstract:

 Aims and background: Aims and background: Lumbar muscle imbalances could affect the lower extremity. The aim of present study was to survey the relationship between pain and lumbar arch with ankle muscle activity and comparison these variables in males and females with chronic non-specific low back pain when implementing single leg squat. Materials and methods: 47 Participants with chronic nonspecific low back pain (CNLBP) were selected in this study (male=22 and female=25). Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) was used to evaluate the LBP intensity. Lumbar lordosis curve was recorded using a flexible ruler. The Participants perform single leg squat position and dominant foot electromyography would be measured when the person was in the single leg squat position. The Pearson correlation coefficient was used to examine the relationship between variables and Independent t test was used to compare variables between males and females. Findings: The results showed there were positive and significant correlation between pain of tibialis anterior muscle activity and peroneus longus muscle in males and females. Conclusion: Regarding the results of this study, it would be concluded that low back pain is one of those factor that may increase ankle muscle activity. Treatment of low back pain could decrease the risk of injury caused by changes in postural control mechanisms and proprioception in lumbar and other joints in the kinetic chain, especially the ankle joint.

Analysis of Symmetry of Weight-Bearing in Athletes With and Without Low Back Pain during Gait

Background. Low Back Pain (LBP) is a prevalent phenomenon in athletes and asymmetrical loading on the limbs has been proposed as a risk factor related to this disease. Objectives. The purpose of the present study was to compare the asymmetry of loading applied on the legs between men with and without LBP during gait. Methods. A total of 40 participants, comprising 20 men with non-specific LBP...

Effect of Stabilization Exercise on Lumbar Multifidus Muscle Thickness in Patients with Non-specific Chronic Low Back Pain

Objectives: In a single blinded randomized controlled study, we investigated the effect of stabilization exercise on lumbar multifidus muscle thickness in patients with non-specific chronic low back pain. Low Back Pain is highly prevalent and results in considerable level of disability. Many causes have been associated with weakness or injury of the soft tissues in the lumbar area. Methods: ...

CLINICAL TRUNK MUSCLE ENDURANCE TESTS IN SUBJECTS WITH AND WITHOUT LOW BACK PAIN

 ABSTRACT Study design: A cross-sectional non-experimental study. Objectives: To collectively detect the reliability and feasibility of the five types of clinical tests that have been used to measure endurance of the trunk muscles in subjects with and without low back pain (LBP) and identifY the sensitivity of each test to predict the probability of the occurrence ofLBP. Background: Testing spi...
