Introduction. Analysis of the medical literature shows that non-specific low back pain is a multifaceted affliction. Determining the unequivocal definition and classification of the ailment could be somewhat difficult. The following review presents a multiplicity of common low back pain nuances. The paper also shows necessity of unification of the definition and clarification, for placing non-specific low back pain among other musculoskeletal disorders. Aim. The author will attempt to provide the answers to basic questions about non-specific low back pain. In its form, the paper will have similarities to the prospect study with narrative review features. Although the reader should remember that the article is neither a result of expert team efforts nor non-specific low back pain leading authority opinion. Therefore the suggestions should be interpreted with necessary distance and scientific scepticism. Material and methods. Proper publications were searched in PubMed and EBSCO scientific articles databases, using terms: ‘nonspecific low back pain’ or ‘non-specific low back pain’, ‘definition’, ‘diagnostic triage’, and ‘classification’ in different combinations. Results. As a result of the review, subtle correction of the current non-specific low back pain definition has been proposed. Acknowledgments. The author of this review wishes to show his appreciation to Prof. Edward Saulicz, the promotor and mentor for didactic support, methodologic and merythoric advice, and for manuscript correction. Thanks also extended to colleague Łukasz Sejboth, master of physiotherapy, for help with appropriate references and motivation to scientific exploration with his unassailable attitude and professionalism. Furthermore, author would like to acknowledge Keith Littlewood for his kind and valid amendments in the English version of the manuscript.

Opis:
Background: Low back pain is a common health problem among hospital nurses. However, the prevalence, characteristics, and work-related risk factors of low back pain have not been widely investigated in Taiwan. Materials and Methods: This study used a cross-sectional survey of 217 hospital nurses to gather self-reported information on the prevalence of back pain, demographic and pain characteristics, and work-related risk factors from 178 respondents who indicated a past history of back pain. The association between the characteristics of back pain and work-related risk factors was also examined. Results: The lifetime prevalence of back pain was 82.03%, and the point prevalence of back pain was 43.78%. The mean pain score is 41.67. The number of years at work was significantly associated with the pain score for an individual’s most recent episode of back pain, the extent of bothersomeness of back pain and leg pain, and the extent to which back pain interfered with normal work. Conclusion: Back pain is common among hospital nurses in Taiwan. Years at work are significantly associated with pain severity and disability caused by back pain.

Introduction and aim. This study compared the efficacy of core stabilization (CSE) and trunk balance exercises (TBE) with flexibility training on pain-related disability (PRD), psychological status (PS) and fear avoidance belief (FAB) in patients with non-specific chronic low back pain (NSCLBP). Material and methods. Twenty-eight (28) participants diagnosed of NSCLBP were randomly assigned into CSE, TBE, and control groups (CG). Participants in CSE (n=10); TBE (n=8) and CG groups (n=10) received core stabilization exercise, trunk balance exercise and back care advice respectively. All participants received flexibility training in addition to treatment in their respective groups. Assessment of outcomes were done at baseline, end of 4th and 8th week. Results. There was significant improvement in all outcomes in the CSE, TBE and CG at 8 weeks; PRD (p=0.005, p=0.008, p=0.005), PS: depression (p=0.005, p=0.008, p=0.007); anxiety (p=0.005, p=0.007) and FAB about work (p=0.005, p=0.007, p=0.005); about physical activity (p=0.005, p=0.018, p=0.006). Comparison of outcomes between CSE and TBE groups showed no significant difference (p>0.05). Conclusion. Both CSE and TBE with flexibility training are effective in improving PRD, PS and FAB of patients with NSCLBP.

Opis:
Cel badań. Celem badań była ocena związku między nadwagą, otyłością a bólami kręgosłupa oraz weryfikacja korelacji pomiędzy tymi zmiennymi w grupie młodych kobiet kończących studia na kierunku fizjoterapii. Materiał i metody. Grupę badaną stanowiło 41 losowo wybranych studentek fizjoterapii III roku studiów licencjackich. Dokonano pomiaru wysokości i masy ciała oraz obliczono wskaźnik BMI. Do oceny dolegliwości bólowych części lędźwiowej kręgosłupa zastosowano Kwestionariusz Oswestry. Dla analizowanych zmiennych ilościowych wyznaczono podstawowe statystyki opisowe. Odpowiedzi na pytania zawarte w kwestionariuszu zestawiono i skorelowano ze wskaźnikiem BMI. W celu znalezienia związku między wskaźnikiem BMI a niepełnosprawnością zastosowano analizę wariancji oraz Test Levene’a jednorodności wariancji. Wyniki. Analiza wskaźnika BMI wykazała, iż nadmiarem masy ciała charakteryzowało się 29% badanych studentek (nadwaga 17%, otyłość 12%). Średnia wartość BMI wynosiła 24,8 kg/m2. Jak wykazała analiza kwestionariusza Oswestry, 78% badanych doświadczyło bólów kręgosłupa, a dolegliwości o charakterze dużym i bardzo dużym odczuwało 22% studentek. U większości stwierdzono niewielki (61%) i mierny (27%) stopień niepełnosprawności. Analiza wskaźnika BMI względem stopnia niepełnosprawności wykazała związek istotny statystycznie (Fniepełnospr. (2, 38) = 8.72, p < 0,001). Wnioski. Większość badanych studentek doświadczyła bólów kręgosłupa, a znaczny odsetek (30%) charakteryzował się nadmierną masą ciała. Wykazano istotny statystycznie związek pomiędzy wskaźnikiem BMI a stopniem niepełnosprawności. Konieczne wydaje się położenie większego nacisku na profilaktykę zdrowotną w programie studiów.
Background. The aim of the study was to assess the relationship between overweight, obesity, and back pain, and to verify the correlations between these variables in a group of young female physiotherapy graduates. Material and methods. The study group comprised 41 randomly selected physiotherapy third year students. Body height and body mass were measured, and BMI was calculated. Pain in the lumbar spine was assessed with the Oswestry Low Back Pain Questionnaire. Basic descriptive statistics were determined for the analysed quantitative variables. The questionnaire answers were compared and correlated with BMI. We used analysis of variance and the Levene’s test for homogeneity of variance to establish correlations between BMI and disability. Results. BMI analysis demonstrated that 29% of the students were characterized by excess body mass (17% overweight, 12% obese); mean BMI equalled 24,8 kg/m2. Furthermore, 78% of the respondents experienced back pain, with high and very high intensity complaints reported by 22%. Most students presented minimal (61%) and moderate (27%) level of disability. A statistically significant correlation was found between BMI and the degree of disability (Fdisability (2, 38) = 8.72; p < 0.001). Conclusions. Most physiotherapy students in the study group experienced back pain, and a substantial percentage (30%) were characterized by excessive body mass. A statistically significant correlation was demonstrated between BMI and disability level. It seems necessary to put more emphasis on health prevention in university curricula.

Background: Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT) has become a popular tool to treat musculoskeletal disorders and chronic low back pain. Aim of the study: To review the current scientific literature and assess the utility of ESWT in treating chronic low back pain. Material and methods: This systematic review was conducted from November 2019 to January 2020. Its purpose was to determine what the effectiveness is of the various forms of ESWT for the treatment of chronic low back pain. The critical review of the literature on the use of ESWT in chronic low back was made using the scientifically recognized medical databases PubMed, MEDLINE, Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro) and Web of Science Core Collection. There was no restriction by date. Exclusion criteria were experimental, in vitro, animal, review, case reports, non-randomized clinical trials or studies with healthy participants. All articles written in languages other than English have also been excluded. Results: Six studies were included in the final analysis. According to the applied PEDro classification, the average scoring for the studies was 4.83, which indicates overall low quality of the presented reports. However, this result appeared closer to the moderate (acceptable) quality range (6-8 points) than to the unacceptable range (0-2 points). Conclusions: Based on the findings in the analyzed articles, ESWT promises to be an efficient and useful procedure in chronic low back pain treatment. Unfortunately, the level of evidence is relatively weak because there are a limited number of published studies related to ESWT and the final score in the PEDro classification was low. Together, these results indicate the need for further high quality randomized clinical trials.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of gender and existing, recurrent low back pain (rLBP) on lower extremity and trunk mechanics, as well as neuromuscular control, during a lift task. Design: A multivariate design was used to examine the effects of gender and group on biomechanical and neuromuscular control variables in randomized symmetric and asymmetric lifting. Methods: 68 Males and females with rLBP and healthy performed symmetric and asymmetric weighted box lifting trials to a 1 meter height table. Results: Lifting style was different between gender and between the rLBP versus healthy groups during a 1m box lifting. A significant two-way interaction effect between gender and group was observed for multifidus muscle activity and knee rotation in asymmetric lifting. Several gender and group main effects were observed in pelvis obliquity, trunk flexion and side flexion, knee abduction angles in symmetric lifting; and in pelvis obliquity and rotation, trunk flexion and side flexion, hip abduction, knee abduction angles, external oblique and internal oblique muscles activity in asymmetric lifting. Conclusions: Females and individuals with rLBP appear to use different lifting styles that emphasize movement at the pelvis accompanied by poor kinematic control features at the hip, trunk and knee. Clinicians should be mindful of these changes when developing prevention and rehabilitation programs aimed at improving trunk control in preparation for lifting tasks during domestic and occupational activities.

Opis:
The aim of this study was to assess the quality of life and health behaviours and to analyse the relationship between the quality of life and health behaviours in the group of patients with low back pain (LBP). Material and methods: The research was conducted on a sample of 52 patients with LBP (29 female and 23 male, M(age) = 48.96±15.86). The tool used for assessing the quality of life was the Quality of Life Questionnaire (WHOQoL-BREF, Polish version), whereas the methodological basis for investigating health behaviours was the Health Behaviour Inventory (HBI). Results: The analysis revealed that the General Index of Intensity of Health Behaviours (GIIHB) was high in 30.8%, average in 40.4% and low in 28.8% of the respondents. Statistically significant positive relationships were observed between: (1) Positive Thinking (HBI) and: Overall Quality of Life (R=0.42), General Health (R=0.29), Psychological domain (R=0.46) and Environmental domain (R=0.44); (2) between Proper Nutritional Habits (HBI) and Overall Quality of Life (R=0.38), Psychological domain (R=0.28), Environmental domain (R=0.30); (3) between Health Practices (HBI) and: Overall Quality of Life (R=0.31) and Psychological domain (R=0.28); (4) between Preventive Behaviours (HBI) and two domains: Psychological domain (R=0.34) and Environmental domain (R=0.34). GIIHB for the respondents in general was a factor that significantly differentiated quality of life in Psychological domain (p=0.031) and Environmental domain (p=0.026). Conclusion: In general, positive correlations concerning quality of life and health behaviours of the respondents were observed between the Psychological domain and all categories of health behaviours (HBI). Furthermore, positive correlations were found for Overall Quality of Life and Environmental domain with most of HBI categories. In light of these findings, it should be indicated that the focus during therapies for patients with LBP aimed to improve their quality of life should be on education in the field of health behaviours.

Objectives: The paper describes the case of a physical therapist with acute Low Back Pain (LBP) due to patient handling and the efficacy of Kinesio Taping (KT) around the trunk in the treatment of this occupational LBP. Materials and Methods: KT was applied around the trunk for 3 days, for an average of 10 h/day. Kinesio tape was applied with 130–140% stretch to the rectus abdominis, internal oblique, erector spinae, and latissimus dorsi muscles, which are activated in the process of lifting. Results: Following the KT application, the ‘Visual Analog Scale’ and ‘Oswestry Disability Questionnaire scores’ gradually decreased and active trunk range of motion limited by the LBP increased progressively. The physical therapist no longer complained of LBP and was able to handle patients without any pain. Conclusions: Hence, continuous application of KT around the trunk may be a supplementary treatment method for acute LBP in physical therapists and enable continuous patient handling without any loss of work time due to occupational LBP. In addition, KT may also be applicable for the prevention and treatment of occupational LBP in other professions involving lifting heavy objects.

Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of Low Back Pain (LBP) among female nursing staff and explore the potential risk factors associated with LBP. Methods: An analytical cross-sectional study was conducted on randomly selected female nurses using payroll as a sampling frame in all public hospitals in Sana'a City, Yemen. Data was collected through face-to-face interview using a structured, pre-coded questionnaire that was available in Arabic and English. Weight and height of the nurses were measured using weight and height scales and body mass index was calculated. Multiple logistic regression was used to identify the factors associated with LBP. Results: Out of 696 female nurses selected, 687 (98.7%) responded. The life-time, the 12-month and one-week prevalence rates of LBP among female nurses were 512 (74.5%; 95% CI: 71.1-77.7%), 411 (59.8%; 95% CI: 56.0-63.5%) and 249 (36.2%; 95% CI: 32.6-39.9%), respectively. The prevalence was significantly lower in Indian nurses compared to other nurses. Three out of every 10 nurses with LBP had sick leave because of LBP in the last 12 months. Factors that showed significant association with LBP among nursing staff in the multivariate analysis were age, nationality, menstrual disorders and stress level at work. Conclusion: LBP is common among female nurses in Yemen. The role of menstrual disorders in developing LBP among female nurses seems to be important. Although sharing the same working conditions, Indian nurses were less likely to report LBP, which highlight the importance of cultural differences in willingness to report LBP.

Occupational low back pain (LBP) remains a leading safety and health challenge. This cross-sectional investigation measured the prevalence of LBP in residential carpenters and investigated ergonomic risk factors. Ninety-four carpenters were investigated for LBP presence and associated risk factors. Ten representative job-tasks were evaluated using the Ovako Working Posture Analysis System (OWAS) and ErgoMaster™ 2D software to measure elements of posture, stress, and risk. Job-tasks were found to differ significantly for total lumbar compression and shear at peak loading (p < .001), ranging from 2 956 to 8 606 N and 802 to 1 974 N respectively. OWAS indicated that slight risk for injury was found in 10 job-tasks while distinct risk was found in 7 of the 10 job-tasks. Seven of the 10 job-tasks exceeded the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) action limit of 3 400 N for low back loading. The point prevalence for LBP was 14% while the annual prevalence was 38%.

Pain is a complex and challenging problem for patients with low back pain and for the psychologists and physiotherapist. One of the most common musculoskeletal pain problems is low back pain. Literature data allow us to assume that possible cause of decreased multifidus size include reflex inhibition and disuse atrophy. Increased fatigability (decreased endurance) of the multifidus muscle has been demonstrated in low back pain (LBP) patients in several research studies. Taking up physical activity belongs to one of the fundamentals of the therapy Formal exercise programmes used in conjunction with other methods of treatment and psychological therapy are one the main forms treatments in low back pain. Lifestyle, physical activity in particular is one on the factors influencing the health of youth and adults. Passiveness and apathy do not facilitate the persistence in realizing the aims of treatment.

Purpose: Low back pain (LBP) occurs among approximately 60-80% of the population, gradually contributing to long-term or recurring disability. We aimed to evaluate the efficiency of two physiotherapeutic treatments (namely, Träbert current and kinesiotherapy) among patients with LBP. Material and methods: Comprised of function tests and scales of pain and functionality, clinical tests were performed according to a prospective method in a regional hospital in Lomza. Forty patients randomly distributed into two groups: one group a subject to physical therapy with Träbert currents, the other group to kinesiotherapy following a proprietary programme. Physiotherapy was performed from Monday to Friday for two weeks in a series of ten treatments. Results: The treatment used in both groups significantly decreased pain and increased functionality of patients, evaluated by Laitinen’s survey, the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), and the Roland Morris Disability Questionnaire. Results of the Schober’s and “fingertip-to-floor” tests also showed increased improvement. Conclusions: The physiotherapy facilitated a significant decrease in pain, an increase in the mobility in lumbosacral segment of the spine and a decrease in disability among patients with LBP.

Background: Sciatica carries a significant health burden in the world as the lifetime incidence of sciatica estimated between 13% to 40%. We used modern scientific tools to assess the online health interest of sciatica and lower back pain. Material and methods: Google Trends, Wikipedia statistics and PubMed data were used to gauge the online public interest in sciatica and lower back pain. Results: Over the last five years, (2015–2019) the Wikipedia page for sciatica has ranked high in all four categories it was included in; this shows that sciatica is a major concern for the public. Wikipedia page views on sciatica and low back pain show a 28% and 90% increase respectively from July 2015 to March 2019. In the last eleven years (2008–2019) Google Trends shows that sciatica has had a 2-fold increase in search frequency worldwide on the web, a 6-fold increase on YouTube and a 3-fold increase on Google images. Scientific interest in sciatica is low (only 140 PubMed publications in 2018). Conclusions: The public has a relatively high online interest concerning sciatica and back pain and this interest is rising. We suggest that hospitals clearly address the causes, pathophysiology, and management of sciatica to their patients to account for this increase.
