The prevalence, incidence and management of low back pain with radiating leg pain in Dutch general practice: A population ‐based cohort study in the Rijnmond Primary Care Database
ConclusionLBP with radiating leg pain is common in Dutch general practice patients. About 2/3rd were prescribed pain medications. Dutch request few to none diagnostic imaging for these patients which is in line with clinical practice guidelines.SignificanceIn this new study, we have gained insights into the incidence and prevalence of LBP with radiating leg pain in Dutch general practice. Both remained fairly stable over the study period of 9 years (2013–2021). Overall, the care burden regarding seeking contact with the GPs and the requested diagnostics seem not to be that high. In 62% of the care episodes, there were...

Characteristics of electromyographic activity during yoga-applied stabilization exercises
Yoga exercise is widely performed as a treatment of low back pain and performance enhancement. Some yoga exercises are applied from general stabilization exercise (GSE) such as bridge exercises. The purpose of this study was to compare muscle activity during various types of GSE and yoga-applied stabilization exercise (YSE), and clarify characteristics of activity pattern during YSE.

Chronic Low Back Pain in Adults: Evaluation and Management
Am Fam Physician. 2024 Mar;109(3):233-244.ABSTRACTChronic low back pain, defined as lumbar pain persisting for 12 weeks or more, occurs in about 13% of U.S. adults. Patients with chronic low back pain should have a history and physical examination to identify red flags that may indicate serious conditions that warrant immediate intervention or yellow flags (i.e., psychological, environmental, and social factors) that indicate risk of disability. The examination should include an evaluation for radicular symptoms. Routine imaging is not recommended but is indicated when red flags are present, there is a neuromuscular defici...

Comparison of lumbar muscle morphology in patients with chronic nonspecific low back pain with and without clinical lumbar segmental instability
by Faranak Mahmoudi Alami, Mohammad Taghipour, Ghadamali Talebi, Payam Sa ’adat, Tahere Seyedhoseinpoor, Hamid Vahidi Rad, Sorayya Khafri
ObjectivesEvaluation of spinal muscle morphology may be critical because of its impact on segmental stability and control of the lumbar spine in the subset of patients with clinical lumbar segmental instability (LSI). The purpose of this study was to compare lumbar muscle morphology in CNLBP patients with clinical LSI, CNLBP patients without clinical LSI. MethodsThis case-control study included 30 patients with CNLBP (15 with clinical LSI and 15 without clinical LSI) and 15 subjects wi...
