Sensors, Vol. 24, Pages 3011: A Statistical and AI Analysis of the Frequency Spectrum in the Measurement of the Center of Pressure Track in the Seated Position in Healthy Subjects and Subjects with Low Back Pain CoP-T
Disch
Measuring postural control in an upright standing position is the standard method. However, this diagnostic method has floor or ceiling effects and its implementation is only possible to a limited extent. Assessing postural control directly on the trunk in a sitting position and consideration of the results in the spectrum in conjunction with an AI-supported evaluation could represent an alternative diagnostic method quantifying neuromuscular control. In a prospective cross-sectional study, 188 subjects aged between 18 and 60 years were recruited and divided into two groups: “LowBackPain&...

Prevalence of Sexual Disability and its Relationship with Pain Intensity, Quality of life and Psychological Distress Among Individuals with Chronic Low Back Pain in Nigeria: A Cross-Sectional Study
AbstractNigeria has been reported as having the highest prevalence of low back pain (LBP) in Africa. Despite this, sexual disability among people with LBP in Nigeria is sparsely reported. To examine the prevalence of sexual disability and its relationship with pain intensity, quality of life and psychological distress among individuals with chronic low back pain (CLBP) in Nigeria. A descriptive cross-sectional study of individuals with CLBP was conducted. The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) was used to assess pain intensity while sexual disability was assessed using the Oswestry Disability Index domain 8 (ODI-8). Quality of li...

Brucellar arthritis and sacroiliitis: an 8-year retrospective comparative analysis of demographic, clinical, and paraclinical features
CONCLUSION: Arthritis and sacroiliitis were the two most important and common manifestations of brucellar osteoarthritis with a frequency of 9.64% and 13.6%, respectively. Any complaints of low back pain and radiculopathy as well as the presence of spondylitis in patients should raise suspicion of sacroiliitis. High levels of AST and ALP and a high platelet count may be associated with brucellar sacroiliitis and arthritis, respectively. The use of imaging methods such as MRI and bone scan seems necessary for the diagnosis of sacroiliitis.PMID:38716079 | PMC:PMC11075600 | DOI:10.1177/20499361241246937 (Source: Adv Data)

The Sacroiliac Joint Fusion Patient Population and Its Prevalence of Total Hip Arthroplasty
CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrated a low prevalence (0.95%) of preexisting THA in SIJ fusion patients at our institution, similar to the THA prevalence of the total US population. Additional research is needed to determine the outcomes of patients with preexisting THA undergoing SIJ fusion.PMID:38718257 | DOI:10.5435/JAAOS-D-23-00799 (Source: The Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons)

Assessing the causal relationship between blood metabolites and low back pain: a Mendelian randomization study
CONCLUSION: This MR study demonstrated that four blood metabolites were causally related to LBP. It is possible to enhance the diagnosis of LBP, prognostic outcome predictions, and the personalization of therapy by analyzing novel signatures of metabolites.PMID:38715808 | PMC:PMC11070353 | DOI:10.62347/BAAW8408 (Source: American Journal of Translational Research)

Examining Resilient Pain Behaviors for Chronic Low Back Pain: A Scoping Review
The objective of this scoping review was to examine resilience and resilient pain behaviors for those with CLBP in relation to resilience definitions, operationalization (e.g. trait or behavior), and application of theoretical frameworks. (Source: Pain Management Nursing)

Rehabilitation of back pain in the pediatric population: a mixed studies systematic review
ConclusionsSpinal manipulation and group-based exercise may be beneficial in reducing LBP intensity in adolescents. Education should be provided as part of a care program. The overall evidence is sparse. Methodologically rigorous studies are needed.Trial registrationCRD42019135009 (PROSPERO) (Source: Chiropractic and Manual Therapies)

Pelvic floor symptoms and symptom-related quality of life in the mothers of children with cerebral palsy: a pilot cross-sectional study
Women Health. 2024 May 5:1-12. doi: 10.1080/03630242.2024.2349559. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPelvic floor symptoms may occur in women with low back pain due to dysfunction of the spinal stabilization muscles. Low back pain is the most common musculoskeletal problem experienced by the mothers of children with cerebral palsy (CP). Therefore, our aim in this study was to examine pelvic floor symptoms and symptom-related quality of life in the mothers of children with CP. The study included 48 mothers of children with CP (n = 23) or without neurodevelopmental problems (n = 25). The mothers' pelvic floor symptoms and sympto...
