Brief Summary

The first propose of the study is to understand the contraction of deep and superficial multifidus in patients with non-specific low back pain and the elderly. The second purpose of the study is to understand the relationship between the multifidus and the functional performance in patients with non-specific low back pain and the elderly. The hypothesis is that the patients with non-specific low back pain and the elderly have less ability to contract the deep multifidus then asymptomatic adults and younger adults. Besides, the multifidus is correlated to the functional performance.

Conditions

Low Back Pain

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (8)

• Change of superficial multifidus

  change of superficial multifidus during contraction by using ultrasound image

  10 minutes

• Change of deep multifidus

  change of deep multifidus during contraction by using ultrasound image

  10 minutes

• Disability index

  use Oswestry Disability Index

  5 minutes

• Timed up and go test

  Examiner will record the seconds the subjects spend in the test including standing up, walking, turn around and sit down.

  3 minutes

• Sit to stand test

  Subjects will repeat 5 times sit to stand and the seconds subjects spend will be recorded.

  3 minutes

• Countermovement jump test

  The subjects start from an upright standing position, makes a preliminary downward movement by flexing at the knees and hips, then immediately extends the knees and hips again to jump vertically up off the ground. The distance which the subjects jump for will be recorded.

  3 minutes

• Sahrmann five-level core stability test

  Examiner will use stabilizer pressure biofeedback unit to detect whether there is lumbar motion during different levels of lower extremities movement.

  5 minutes

• Rotatory stability test

  Rotatory stability test is one of the test from functional movement screen. Subjects will start in quadruped position and move the extremities to maintain the spine in neutral position.

  3 minutes
