NCT02112760 | Completed

• 1 other identifier: 200903075R
• Study Type: interventional
• Target: 72
• Locations: 1 country

Brief Summary

1. 1.Specific aim 1:Identify factors that influence muscle performance by use of ultrasound imaging.
2. 2.Specific aim 2. To compare the performance of trunk deep muscles (transversus abdominis and multifidus) and the sensation and pain thresholds of patients with recurrent low back pain with asymptomatic subjects.
3. 3.Specific aim 3. To determine the performance of the transversus abdominis and multifidus, and the sensation and pain thresholds by use of ultrasound feedback training in asymptomatic adults, and to compare these results with the traditional training protocols for trunk stabilization.
4. 4.Specific aim 4. To determine the performance of the transversus abdominis and multifidus, and the sensation and pain thresholds by using the ultrasound feedback training in adults with low back pain, and to compare these results with the traditional training protocols for trunk stabilization.

Conditions

Keywords

specific stabilization exercise; ultrasound; low back pain

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Increased change of sliding of transversus abdominis muscle and change of thickness on multifidus muscle in asymptomatic and low back pain group

  pre treatment (0 week), post treatment(6 week)

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Decrease cold sensation threshold on left back and hot sensation threshold on left leg in both group

  pre treatment (0 week), post treatment(6 week)

Study Arms (1)

Patient

EXPERIMENTAL

To evaluate the effect of specific stabilization intervention in recurrent low back pain participants

Other: specific stabilization exercise

Interventions

specific stabilization exercise OTHER

The specific stabilization exercise refers to an exercise that targets the deep trunk muscle, including the multifidus and transversus abdominis with ultrasound feedback.
