Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy

Objective: Non-specific low back pain (non-specific LBP) is common problem between office-work employees. This study aimed to evaluate the short-term impacts of Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) therapy in the treatment of non-specific LBP symptoms as pain, back mobility, LBP disabilities, and Health–Related Quality of Life (HRQOL). Methods: Forty-two University’s employees with non-specific LBP and aged from 35 to 55 years who participated in this study from January to June 2018 were divided into two groups: group A; received PEMF therapy and group B; received sham treatment. The outcome measures were; numerical rating scale, Modified Oswestry LBP Disability Score, Modified Schober test, and the Short Form-36 questionnaire. Evaluations were performed for both groups before and after finishing treatment. Results: All outcome measures were significantly improved statistically in the experimental group at the end of the intervention (p<0.05). On the other hand, there were non-significant differences in all outcome measures in the sham group (p>0.05). Conclusions: PEMT therapy may decrease pain, LBP disability, increase lumbar spine mobility, and improve HRQOL in middle-aged university’s employees with nonspecific LBP. doi: https://doi.org/10.12669/pjms.35.4.49 How to cite this:Abdelhalim NM, Samhan AF, Abdelbasset WK.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of 12 weeks collagen peptide (CP) supplementation on knee pain and function in individuals with self-reported knee pain. Healthy physically active individuals (n = 167; aged 63 [interquartile range = 56–68] years) with self-reported knee pain received 10 g/day of CP or placebo for 12 weeks. Knee pain and function were measured with the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), the Lysholm questionnaire, and the Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS). Furthermore, we assessed changes in inflammatory, cartilage, and bone (bio)markers. Measurements were conducted at baseline and after 12 weeks of supplementation. Baseline VAS did not differ between CP and placebo (4.7 [2.5–6.1] vs. 4.7 [2.8–6.2], p = 0.50), whereas a similar decrease in VAS was observed after supplementation (−1.6 ± 2.4 vs. −1.9 ± 2.6, p = 0.42). The KOOS and Lysholm scores increased after supplementation in both groups (p values < 0.001), whereas the increase in the KOOS and Lysholm scores did not differ between groups (p = 0.28 and p = 0.76, respectively). Furthermore, CP did not impact inflammatory, cartilage, and bone (bio)markers (p values > 0.05). A reduced knee pain and improved knee function were observed following supplementation, but changes were similar between groups. This suggests that CP supplementation over a 12-week period does not reduce knee pain in healthy, active, middle-aged to elderly individuals. Novelty CP supplementation over a 12-week period does not reduce knee pain in healthy, active, middle-aged to elderly individuals. CP supplementation over a 12-week period does not impact on inflammatory, cartilage, and bone (bio)markers in healthy, active, middle-aged to elderly individuals.

Hamstring adalah salah satu otot yang paling sering mengalami pemendekan dan kerap kali menjadi pemicu terjadinya keluhan lain pada tubuh seperti low back pain, plantar facitis, knee pain dan sebagainya hingga perlu dilakukan pemanjangan otot hamstring guna mengurangi resiko timbulnya keluhan di regio lain. Penelitian ini adalah bentuk penelitian eksperimental yang akan menguji efektivitas dari besaran kontraksi 25%, 50%, dan 75% pada teknik contract relax untuk meningkatkan fleksibilitas kelompok otot hamstring. pada penelitian ini sampel akan dibagi menjadi 3 kelompok, kelompok pertama diberikan teknik contract relax dengan besaran kontraksi 25% untuk meningkatkan fleksibilitas otot hamstring, kelompok kedua diberikan teknik contract relax dengan besaran kontraksi 50% untuk meningkatkan fleksibilitas otot hamstring, dan kelompok ketiga diberikan teknik contract relax dengan besaran kontraksi 75% untuk meningkatkan fleksibilitas otot hamstring. Penelitian ini mengukur nilai fleksibilitas hamstring pada sebelum intervensi dan setelah intervensi sehingga sampel hanya akan mendapatkan 1 sesi intervensi. Sampel diukur fleksibilitas hamstringnya menggunakan sit and reach test pada sebelum intervensi kemudian dilakukan intervensi sesuai dengan pengelompokan yang telah dibagi kemudian setelah selesai dilakukan intervensi, sampel melakukan pengukuran kembali untuk mendapatkan nilai hasil intervensi. Hasil uji hipotesis Grup I (25%) menunjukkan nilai rerata pada sebelum intervensi 9,74(±3,38) dan nilai rerata pada setelah intervensi 16,00(±3,05), pada uji hipotesis Grup II (50%) menunjukkan nilai rerata pada sebelum intervensi 10,05(±2,68) dan nilai rerata setelah intervensi 16,42(±3,23), dan pada hasil uji hipotesis Grup III (75%) menunjukkan nilai rerata sebelum intervensi 9,66(±2,72) dan nilai rerata setelah intervensi 15,16(±2,95), dengan nilai probailitas pada ketiga Grup adalah 0,000 yang artinya (p<0,05) dan dinyatakan ada perbedaan yang signifikan dari ke tiga intervensi tersebut. Pada uji hipotesis IV dilakukan perbandingan hasil pada grup I, II, dan III, dengan menggunakan one way anova dengan hasil rerata Grup I 16,00(±3,05), Grup II 16,42(±3,23), dan Grup III 15,16(±2,95) dengan nilai probabilitas (p=0,442) yang artinya (p>0,05) dan dapat dinyatakan secara analisis statistik tidak ada perbedaan yang signifikan antara ke tiga intervensi yang dilakukan.Kata kunci: PNF, Contract-relax, hamstring, fleksibilitas, S-EMG

ObjectivesTo investigate whether body mass index (BMI) trajectory, lifestyle and reproductive factors are associated with knee pain risk among middle-aged women.DesignProspective study of the Japan Nurses’ Health Study (JNHS).SettingThe JNHS investigates the health of female nurses in Japan. Biennial follow-up questionnaires are mailed to the participants.ParticipantsThe 7434 women aged over 40 years who responded to the 10-year self-administered follow-up questionnaire.Primary outcome measureSelf-reported knee pain at the 10-year follow-up was the primary outcome. We analysed BMI (normal or overweight) trajectory data from a baseline survey to the 10-year follow-up survey using group-based trajectory modelling. Exposure measurements were BMI trajectory, BMI at age 18 years, lifestyle variables and reproductive history.ResultsBMI trajectories from baseline to the 10-year follow-up were divided into four groups: remained normal, remained overweight, gained weight or lost weight. At the 10-year follow-up, 1281 women (17.2%) reported knee pain. Multivariable logistic regression analysis revealed that compared with the remained normal group, multivariable-adjusted ORs (95% CI) of knee pain were 1.93 (1.60 to 2.33) for the remained overweight group, 1.60 (1.23 to 2.08) for the gained weight group and 1.40 (0.88 to 2.21) for the lost weight group. The attributable risk percent (95% CI) of the remained overweight group was 48.1% (37.3% to 57.0%) compared with the reference group of remained normal. Alcohol intake at baseline was significantly associated with knee pain.ConclusionsThe lost weight group had a lower risk than the remained overweight group and the gained weight group and did not carry statistically significant risks for knee pain. Weight reduction and maintaining a normal BMI in middle age was important for preventing knee pain in women.
