Background: For a small but significant group, pregnancy-related lumbopelvic pain may become persistent. While multiple factors lead to post-partum disabilities’ such as kinesiphobia sleep disturbance, body perception or mindfulness. Objective: To explore the frequency of kinesiophobia in pregnancy related low back pain. Methodology: The Cross sectional study was conducted on n=97 pregnant wome...

Neuronal potassium (K(+)) channels are usually regarded as largely inhibitory, i.e. reducing excitability. Here we show that BK-type calcium-activated K(+) channels enhance high-frequency firing and cause early spike frequency adaptation in neurons. By combining slice electrophysiology and computational modelling, we investigated functions of BK channels in regulation of high-frequency firing i...
