objective: the study evaluated the efficacy of oral calcium carbonate supplement on leg pain in pregnancy and nursing period. materials and methods: a total number of 176 women at third trimester of pregnancy or nursing period till to one year after delivery with complaint of leg pain, low back pain (lbp), and posterior pelvic pain (ppp) were evaluated for distinct primary causes and were exclu...

BACKGROUND DATA Lumbar segmental instability (LSI) is one of the subgroups of non-specific chronic low back pain. Pain, functional disability and reduced muscle endurance are common in such patients. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to determine the effects of stabilization exercise on pain, functional disability and muscle endurance in patients with LSI. METHODS A randomized clinical tr...

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: ...

QUESTION Does Kinesio Taping reduce disability, pain, and kinesiophobia in people with chronic non-specific low back pain? DESIGN Randomised trial, with concealed allocation, assessor blinding, and intention-to-treat analysis. PARTICIPANTS Sixty adults with chronic non-specific low back pain. INTERVENTION The experimental intervention was Kinesio Taping over the lumbar spine for one week;...

Aims: Amputation makes a person susceptible to postural deviation and compensatory movements and causes reduced performance, biocompatibility, pain, and dissatisfaction. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of eight weeks of a comprehensive rehabilitation protocol on indicators of postural control, back pain, quality of life, and gait speed in adults with unilateral lower lim...

BACKGROUND Body armor is credited with increased survival rates in soldiers but the additional axial load may negatively impact the biomechanics of the spine resulting in low back pain. Multiple studies have found that lumbar stabilization programs are superior to generalized programs for patients with chronic low back pain. It is not known if such programs produce objective changes in trunk mu...
