Brief Summary

The aim of the study is to investigate the relationship between core muscles endurance and Saliba Postural Classification System in patients with chronic mechanical low back pain.

Conditions

Core Muscles; Endurance; Saliba's Postural Classification System; Low Back Pain, Mechanical

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• assessment of pain intensity using visual analogue scale

  The visual analog scale (VAS) is a unidimensional measure of pain intensity, consisting of a horizontal line 10 cm long. It is anchored by "no pain" (score 0) and "worst imaginable pain" (score 10), with higher scores indicating greater pain intensity.

  at baseline

Secondary Outcomes (7)

• assessment of functional disability using cross-culturally adapted Arabic version of the Oswestry disability questionnaire

  at baseline

• assessment of mechanical stress points using vertical stress test to confirm the Saliba Postural Classification System

  at baseline

• assessment of proper timing of core and global muscles in response to an external load using Elbow flexion test

  at baseline

• assessment of trunk endurance using Trunk flexion test

  at baseline

• assessment of back extensors (the erector spinae and the multifidus) endurance using trunk extension test

  at baseline

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 20 Years - 50 Years
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: No
• Age Groups: Adult (18-64)
• Sampling Method: Probability Sample

Study Population

This study was a cross sectional, Observational, and correlation analysis

You may qualify if:

• Sixty male and female patients with CMLBP of more than 3 months duration
• Patients with body mass between 18-25
• Patients aged between 20-50 years old
• Moderate level of pain (4-6 on visual analogue scale)
• Minimal level of disability (0% to 20%) on Oswestry disability index as defined as "the patient can cope with most living activities. Usually, no treatment is indicated apart from advice on lifting, sitting, and exercise.
