Excessive foot pronation has been reported as being related to chronic low back pain symptoms and risk factors in sports-specific pathologies. Compensating custom-made foot orthotics treatment has not been entirely explored as an effective therapy for chronic low back pain (CLBP). This study aims to observe the effects of custom-made foot orthoses, in subjects with foot pronation suffering from CLBP. A total of 101 patients with nonspecific CLBP and a pronated foot posture index (FPI) were studied. They were randomized in two groups: an experimental one (n = 53) used custom-made foot orthotics, and the control group (n = 48) were treated with non-biomechanical effect orthoses. The CLBP was measured using the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) Questionnaire and a visual analogue scale (VAS), both for lower back pain. The symptoms were evaluated twice, at first when the subject was included in the study, and later, after 4 weeks of treatment. The analysis of outcomes showed a significant decrease in CLBP in the custom-made foot orthoses participants group (p < 0.001 ODI; p < 0.001 VAS). These findings suggest that controlling excessive foot pronation by using custom-made foot orthoses may significantly contribute to improving CLBP.

Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui hubungan lama aktivitas fisik berat dengan Gejala Back pain pada penduduk usia kerja 18 – 55 tahun di wilayah Pulau Jawa dan Bali. Penelitian ini menggunakan data sekunder Survei Kesehatan Nasional Tahun 2001. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain potong-lintang dengan metode analisis regresi logistik ganda. Hasil penelitian mendapatkan ada hubungan antara aktivitas fisik berat dengan gejala back pain, setelah dikontrol oleh variabel-variabel confounding seperti lama aktivitas fisik duduk atau sedikit berjalan (terkait pekerjaan ataupun tidak), jenis kelamin, dan pendidikan. Responden dengan lama aktivitas fisik berat (bekerja 1-5 jam) memiliki risiko 2,03 kali untuk mengalami gejala back pain dibandingkan kelompok yang tidak melakukan aktifitas fisik berat (95% CI 1,34-3,08). Responden dengan lama aktivitas fisik berat (bekerja >5 jam) memiliki risiko 1,60 kali untuk mengalami gejala back pain dibandingkan kelompok yang tidak melakukan aktifitas fisik berat (95% CI 0,55 - 4,63). Disarankan untuk pemberlakuan regulasi waktu kerja menggunakan metode waktu rehat pendek (short rest break), dimana pekerja yang harus bekerja selama 5-6 jam terus menerus perlu diistirahatkan di pertengahan waktu tersebut selama sekitar 20 menit.Kata kunci: Aktivitas fisik, back painAbstractThe objective of this research is to investigate the relationship between high occupational physical activity with back pain symptoms among working age population (18—55 years olds) in Java and Bali islands. This research used secondary data from National Health Survey 2001. This research was using the crosssectional design and was analyzed by multiple logistic regression. The study result shows that there are a relationship between high occupational physical activity with back pain symptoms after controlled with confounding variables such as: duration of occupational sitting and short walk activity, duration of nonoccupational sitting and short walk, gender and educational status. Respondents with duration of heavy occupational activity of 1-5 hours have 2,03 higher risk to get back pain symptoms compared to those not doing it (95% CI 1,34-3,08). Respondents with duration of heavy occupational activity of >5 hours have 1,60 risk to get back pain symptoms compared to those not doing it (95% CI 0,55 - 4,63).Keywords : Physical activity, back pain

The purpose of this study was to investigate whether low-handicap elite golfers with chronic low back pain (CLBP) exhibit deficits in dynamic postural control and whether CLBP affects golfers in terms of their golf swing parameters. A total of fifteen Division 1 college golfers were recruited as participants. Of these, six of whom experienced CLBP, while the remaining participants were healthy. In this study, CLBP was defined as experiencing chronic pain symptoms for more than six months. The Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT) was administered to examine dynamic posture control in both groups. The TrackMan Golf Launch Monitor Simulator was used to collect data on the performance parameters of the swing of the participants. The results for both feet in the medial, lateral, posterior, posteromedial, and posterolateral directions indicated that the CLBP group scored lower than the control group. However, the CLBP group scored higher for the right foot in the anterolateral direction. The parameters for the club speed and ball carry of the CLBP group were lower than those of the control group. Further, the CLBP group exhibited a more upright swing plane relative to the control group. Taken together, our findings suggest that SEBT may be feasible and highly accessible to assess golf swing performance of elite players with CLBP.

Aim: To evaluate pain, flexibility and hydroxyproline (HP) urinary levels in patients with nonspecific low back pain submitted to Global Postural Re-education (GPR) and stretching. Materials & methods: 39 individuals who reported low back pain were randomly assigned to a group submitted to GPR (GPRG) or stretching exercises (SG) for 8 weeks. Pain and flexibility were assessed using the Borg CR10 scale and goniometry, respectively. Results: The GPR group showed a significant reduction in the HP levels and significant improvements in flexibility after the intervention when compared with SG. Both groups presented a significant reduction in HP and pain after the intervention. Conclusion: Both interventions were effective in the treatment of low back pain. However, the GPR method presented better responses than stretching.

Patients Experience

Chronic low back pain is a substantial clinical problem because of its high prevalence, incidence, complex and heterogeneous symptomatology. The majority of patients experience nociceptive pain only, but in almost 40% of patients neuropathic component may be present. In many patients with low back pain symptoms associated with central sensitization may be present as well and therefore their pain can be classified as nocyplastic. (functional) This paper describes how clinicians can differentiate these types of pain, taking into account that in a given patient several mechanisms may contribute to chronic pain development, and pain results from complex mechanisms. In the second part, therapeutic options are presented for people with symptoms of central sensitization, with emphasis on non-pharmacological methods.
