Abstract:

Introduction: The available data indicate that there is a relationship between proprioception deficit and low back pain. For this reason, proprioception exercises are usually part of the rehabilitation protocols for these patients. Previous studies revealed that whole body vibration (WBV) can improve muscle performance and proprioception. The aim of this study was to investigate effect of WBV on trunk proprioception in non-specific chronic low back pain (NSCLBP). Materials and Methods: In this randomized clinical trial study, 50 patients with NSCLBP were enrolled. They were randomly assigned to the WBV and control groups. Correspondingly, patients in the experimental group received WBV with frequency 20Hz and acceleration 3-17 g for 360 second in 6 repetitions, and patients in the control group were placed on device at the same position and time, with no vibration. Trunk repositioning error in 30%,60% maximal flexion of lumbar region and in neutral position was measured with Dual Digital inclinometer, before intervention and immediately after 20 minutes. Results: By matching the original effect of measurement conditions (p<0.001) and its interactive effect with group (p = 0.008), there was a significant difference between two groups immediately after the intervention (p=0.027). Conclusion: WBV with low frequency can improve trunk proprioception in individual with non-specific chronic low back pain. So, it can be introduced as a novel physical therapy intervention for these patients.

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 ...

Effect of whole body vibration on ankle joint proprioception and balance in patients with diabetic neuropathy

Introduction: One of the most common manifestations of diabetic peripheral neuropathy is postural impairment and proprioception deficits. Whole Body Vibration (WBV) is a relatively new somatosensory stimulation, the effects of which on balance and proprioception in patients with diabetic neuropathy have not been adequately studied. This study aimed to investigate the effects of WBV on balance a...
