recognizing patients at a higher risk of developing chronic low back pain (lbp) is important in industrial medicine. this study aimed to assess the power and quality of general health questionnaire (ghq) for prediction of the odds of chronicity of acute lbp. this study was conducted on industrial workers. all subjects with acute lbp who met the inclusion criteria were enrolled. demographic char...

patients with chronic low back pain (lbp) hold various knowledge, perceptions and beliefs about their pain which are based on prior learning and social conditions. since lbp is a bio- psycho-social phenomenon and there are not any reports about awareness and attitude of iranian patients’ views regarding it, this descriptive study was employed to earn this information p to apply its results in h...

Classical LBP such as complexity and high dimensions of feature vectors that make it necessary to apply dimension reduction processes. In this paper, we introduce an improved LBP algorithm to solve these problems that utilizes Fast PCA algorithm for reduction of vector dimensions of extracted features. In other words, proffer method (Fast PCA+LBP) is an improved LBP algorithm that is extracted ...

This paper proposes a novel descriptor called Mean-Variance-Median based Local binary pattern (MVM-LBP). The Median (MBP) calculates the difference between median of all pixels in 3 $$\times$$ pixel window and respective eight neighbours. main drawback MBP is that two different windows can have same code which not appropriate face recognition systems. To improve performance system, proposed (MV...

Background: There are few research studies evaluating the significance of low back pain (LBP) in Iran, even though the majority of locally published surveys are written in the Persian language. In the present review study, we aimed at appraising published articles related to the burden of LBP and its divergence among different jobs.Methods: A comprehensive search was conducted in all accessible...

Four novel color Local Binary Pattern (LBP) descriptors are presented in this chapter for scene image and image texture classification with applications to image search and retrieval. Specifically, the first color LBP descriptor, the oRGB-LBP descriptor, is derived by concatenating the LBP features of the component images in an opponent color space — the oRGB color space. The other three color ...

The purpose of the present study is to evaluate the effects of isometric exercise types on low back pain (LBP) patients. Isometric exercise types were mat exercise and I-Zer exercise. Subjects were divided into 3 groups: LBP control group, LBP mat exercise group, and LBP I-Zer exercise group in 23-25 aged men. Visual analogue scale (VAS) and electromyography (EMG) were used to evaluate the degr...

BACKGROUND Few longitudinal studies have described the variation in LBP and its impact over time at an individual level. The aims of this study were to: 1) determine the prevalence of LBP in three surveys over a 9-year period in the Danish general population, using five different definitions of LBP, 2) study their individual long-term courses, and 3) determine the odds of reporting subsequent L...
