INTRODUCTION: Low back pain is associated with physical demands of the workplace, social support, and pain. The normal degenerative aging process, epidemiological studies reveal that poor ergonomic factors in the workplace contribute to low back pain in a back. Lifting or carrying loads, having a static posture for a long time and frequent bending and twisting have the physical load risk factors consistently associated with work-related back disorders. OBJECTIVE: To correlate the Oswestry Disability Index and Quebec Back Pain Disability Scale in Office worker. METHOD: 110 Office worker were selected for the study and the age between 30 to 45 year. A correlation study was conducted between Oswestry disability index and Quebec Back pain disability scale. Through Digital form. RESULTS: Spearmen’s rho correlation was used for analyse data by using SPSS 20.00. Significant and very strong positive correlation was found between Oswestry disability index and Quebec back pain scale (r=0.91& p<0.05) in Office worker. CONCLUSION: Oswestry disability index and Quebec back pain scale were correlated in Office worker. Significant and very strong positive correlation found between pain and functional activity. Key words: Oswestry disability index, Quebec back pain scale, Pain, Functional Activity, Office worker

Objective: To compare the effect of both CBT and Meditation in chronic lower back pain patients.
 Method: Participants fulfilling the exclusion and inclusion criteria and who are between the age group of 35-50 years with CLBP were included. Numerical pain rating scale and Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MOCA) was used for the participant selection. The participants were further divided into three groups and 4-week intervention of conventional physiotherapeutic exercise, meditation and CBT, was given to the participants. Numerical Pain Rating Scale and Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Questionnaire were used as outcome measures.
 Results: 40 chronic back pain patients were enrolled and randomized. All enrolled participants completed baseline tests, providing cross-sectional data for this study. Simple randomization allocated 14 patients to the control group and 13 patients each to Experimental Group 1 and Experimental Group 2. Significant within-group improvements occurred on the Numerical Rating Scale and Oswestry scores between baseline and final visits for all groups. However, the experimental groups showed significantly greater decreases in pain intensity versus controls, evidenced by reduced mean Numerical Rating Scale and Oswestry scores at follow-up. One-way ANOVA and Welch tests revealed significantly reduced Numerical Rating Scale and Oswestry scores after treatment across groups. Both tests yielded statistically significant p-values <0.01.
 Conclusion: The findings show that meditation and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) are beneficial in reducing pain. As a result, for patients with persistent low back pain, taking into consideration these two treatment techniques is critical.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Low back pain is the most common type of pain. The causes of many painful conditions of the low back remain obscure. Low back pain bothers not only patients but also the experts about its multidisciplinary approaches. The typical background of a low back incidence is a faulty postural pattern. A mechanical or functional strain causing muscular misbalance in one part of the body may soon result in compensatory changes in other parts. The Low-Back Outcome Scale (LBOS) of Greenough and Fraser and the Oswestry disability index (ODI) were compared to the patient satisfaction index (PSI) in lumbar disc herniation (LDH) surgery. Methods: This prospective interventional study was conducted in department of Orthopaedic Surgery, BSMMU, Dhaka from October 2017 to September 2019. A total of 22 patients who underwent discectomy were followed through assessment of pre and post-surgical satisfaction by the PSI, the LBOS, and the ODI. The LBOS were rated as satisfied if the outcomes were excellent or good and as dissatisfied if fair and poor. Considering the ODI, clinically satisfied was defined as a 13-point improvement from the baseline ODI scores. Phi (Φ) correlation analysis was used to study the correlation among the PSI, the LBOS and the ODI scores as proxy for patients’ satisfaction. Results: In this study, out of 22 patients 8 (36.4%) were 35-45 years of age, 8 (36.4%) were 46- 55years, 4 (18.2%) were 56- 65 years and 2 (9.1%) were 66-70 years old. The mean (± SD) age of the patients was 51.1±9.7 years and the youngest and the oldest patients were 35 and 70 years respectively. Among 22 subjects, majority of the study subjects 15 (68.2%) were male and only 7 (31.8%) were female. Significant improvement from the pre- to post-operative ODI scores was observed. Post-surgical satisfaction based on the PSI, the ODI, and the LBOS were 72.7%, 68.1%, and 81.1%, respectively. Regarding patient satisfaction, there were weak associations between LBOS vs. PSI and ODI vs. PSI (Φ=−0.054, P=0.533) and (Φ=−0.129, P=0.136), respectively. Conclusions: Our study showed that the ODI and the LBOS were not reflective of patients’ satisfaction after discectomy.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Background and Purpose. The aim of this study was to examine 5 commonly used questionnaires for assessing disability in people with low back pain. The modified Oswestry Disability Questionnaire, the Quebec Back Pain Disability Scale, the Roland-Morris Disability Questionnaire, the Waddell Disability Index, and the physical health scales of the Medical Outcomes Study 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36) were compared in patients undergoing physical therapy for low back pain. Subjects and Methods. Patients with low back pain completed the questionnaires during initial consultation with a physical therapist and again 6 weeks later (n=106). Test-retest reliability was examined for a group of 47 subjects who were classified as “unchanged” and a subgroup of 16 subjects who were self-rated as “about the same.” Responsiveness was compared using standardized response means, receiver operating characteristic curves, and the proportions of subjects who changed by at least as much as the minimum detectable change (MDC) (90% confidence interval [CI] of the standard error for repeated measures). Scale width was judged as adequate if no more than 15% of the subjects had initial scores at the upper or lower end of the scale that were insufficient to allow change to be reliably detected. Results. Intraclass correlation coefficients (2,1) calculated to measure reliability for the subjects who were classified as “unchanged” and those who were self-rated as “about the same” were greater than .80 for the Oswestry and Quebec questionnaires and the SF-36 Physical Functioning scale and less than .80 for the Waddell and Roland-Morris questionnaires and the SF-36 Role Limitations–Physical and Bodily Pain scales. None of the scales were more responsive than any other. Discussion and Conclusion. Measurements obtained with the modified Oswestry Disability Questionnaire, the SF-36 Physical Functioning scale, and the Quebec Back Pain Disability Scale were the most reliable and had sufficient width scale to reliably detect improvement or worsening in most subjects. The reliability of measurements obtained with the Waddell Disability Index was moderate, but the scale appeared to be insufficient to recommend it for clinical application. The Roland-Morris Disability Questionnaire and the Role Limitations–Physical and Bodily Pain scales of the SF-36 appeared to lack sufficient reliability and scale width for clinical application.

Background: Sacroiliac joint dysfunction is a common cause of low back pain, significantly impacting mobility and quality of life. Various conservative interventions, including extracorporeal shock wave therapy and Maitland mobilisation, are used to manage sacroiliac joint dysfunction. Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of extracorporeal shock wave therapy versus Maitland mobilisation on pain and functional outcomes in patients with sacroiliac joint dysfunction. Methodology: A randomised clinical trial was conducted on 26 individuals diagnosed with sacroiliac joint dysfunction, recruited from Moeen Physiotherapy and Rehman Physiotherapy clinic in Faisalabad. The sample size was calculated using G*Power 3.1.9.4. Participants aged 30-50 years with a clinical diagnosis of sacroiliac joint dysfunction confirmed by provocative tests and imaging were included. Those with previous spinal surgery, inflammatory joint diseases, or neurological disorders were excluded. Received focused extracorporeal shock wave therapy (0.2-0.4 mJ/mm2, 2000 pulses per session) thrice a week for four weeks. Underwent graded Maitland mobilisation sessions targeting the sacroiliac joint, three times per week for four weeks. Visual Analog Scale 0-10 and Oswestry Disability Index 0-100% were utilized as assessment tools. The study duration was March 2023 to September 2024. Results: Both groups showed significant improvement in Visual Analog Scale and Oswestry Disability Index scores post-treatment (p<0.05). However, the shock wave therapy group exhibited a more significant reduction in pain scores (Visual Analog Scale: 6.8±1.2 to 2.3±0.9, p=0.01) and functional disability (Oswestry Disability Index: 42.5%±6.4 to 18.2%±4.3, p=0.02) compared to the Maitland mobilisation group (Visual Analog Scale: 6.6±1.1 to 3.5±1.2, Oswestry Disability Index: 43.1%±6.7 to 24.5%±5.1, p=0.03). Conclusion: Both shock wave therapy and Maitland mobilisation effectively reduce pain and improve function in sacroiliac joint dysfunction patients, but shock wave therapy provides superior pain relief and functional recovery.

Previous issue date: 2004-12-02<br>Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WRMDs) are diseases that result in
persistent pain, loss of functional capacity and associated work disability. This diagnostic is
important because it is used to guide clinical and legal decisions. Their initial diagnosis is
difficult because such diagnoses are based on complaints of pain and they often involve
conflicting social and economic interests. Because of the complexity of such diagnoses,
further studies are needed in order to analyze the association between subjective
descriptions and objective findings.
Therefore was made two research. The objective of the first research was to evaluate
the impact of personal, clinical and occupational aspects on work ability of workers with
and without WRMDs using an approved version of the Work Ability Index (WAI) and pain
scale. This evaluated 127 workers of industrial production lines. A descriptive analysis was
carried out using the Chi-square test and it was also performed a logistic regression
analysis. A significant association was identified between the WAI and all personal, clinical
and occupational aspects. Regression analysis showed that pain and sick leave together
accounted for 59% of poor work ability.
The objective of the second research was to evaluate the clinical and functional
aspects of WRMDs, in relation to physical evaluation, perception of pain, self-reporting of
symptoms and functional ability, among active workers at a single company with and
without symptoms or evidence of this disorders. 134 female workers were physically
evaluated by two trained physiotherapists. They filled out a questionnaire on discomfort
due to pain, a pain scale, the Oswestry Disability Questionnaire (ODQ) and the Work
Ability Index (WAI). The results were correlated and logistic regressions were run.
According to the results symptom reports were explained by the results from the pain scale
and the clinical findings and clinical findings by symptom reports and WAI.
In two research the relationship between pain, symptom reports and clinical findings
demonstrates that the patient s current state can be assessed not only by means of objective
examinations, but also by means of instruments that take into account the patient s
perception of his or her state.<br>Os distúrbios ostemusculares relacionados ao trabalho (DORT) podem resultar em
dor crônica, diminuição da capacidade funcional e associada incapacidade para o
trabalho.Seu diagnóstico é importante pois direciona as decisões clínicas e legais. No
entanto, essas lesões apresentam desafios para seu diagnóstico e prognóstico, uma vez que
envolvem indicadores subjetivos, porque há fatores de interesses sociais e econômicos
envolvidos. Em função desta complexidade, mais estudos são necessários para analisar a
associação entre relatos subjetivos e achados objetivos.
Desta forma foram realizados dois estudos. O objetivo do primeiro foi avaliar o
impacto de fatores pessoais, do trabalho e da lesão na capacidade funcional dos
trabalhadores com e sem história de acometimento de lesões músculo-esqueléticas
relacionadas ao trabalho, utilizando a aplicação autorizada do Índice de Capacidade para o
Trabalho (WAI) e escala de dor. Este avaliou 127 trabalhadores de linhas de produção
industrial. Os resultados foram analisados descritivamente, por meio do teste Qui-quadrado
e pela análise de regressão logística. Todos os fatores pessoais, ocupacionais e clínicos
analisados apresentaram relação significativa com a capacidade para o trabalho. A análise
de regressão mostrou que dor e afastamento do trabalho explicaram juntas 59% da baixa
capacidade para o trabalho.
O objetivo do segundo estudo foi avaliar os aspectos clínicos e funcionais dos
DORT, em relação a avaliação clínica, percepção da dor, auto-relato de sintomas e
capacidade funcional através da avaliação de trabalhadores de uma mesma empresa, com
sem sintomas de DORT. 134 mulheres foram fisicamente avaliadas por dois fisioterapeutas
treinados e responderam a um questionário relacionado a sensação de dor ou desconforto,
escala de dor, questionário de incapacidade de Oswestry (ODQ) e índice de capacidade
para o trabalho (WAI). Os resultados foram correlacionados e a análise de logística foi
aplicada. Os resultados indicaram que relatos de sintomas foram explicados pela escala de
dor e exame clínico e o exame clínico foi explicado pelos relatos de sintomas e WAI.
As associações entre dor, relatos de sintomas e exame clínico, demonstraram que o
estado atual do paciente pode ser avaliado não somente por exames objetivos mas também
por meio de instrumentos que levem em conta a percepção do próprio paciente sobre seu
estado.

The main aim of the presented diploma thesis was to record objective and subjective changes after therapy with DNS concept in a group of 13 people with LBP. Moiré projection topography was used to record postural changes after 5.5 week therapeutic intervention. It was not clear, whether DNS exercise would help them to achieve visible postural changes and whether this technique is able to record these changes, which would mean that it is a suitable option for objectivisation of therapies focusing on correction of stabilisation and postural functions. Pedoscan was used for further objectivisation of the effect of DNS concept. The chosen correlate of the mentioned objective evaluation was Oswestry disability index, evaluating limitations of common everyday activities resulting from pain in the lower back, and the Numeric pain scale. Patients underwent 5 hour-long physiotherapeutic lessons, the recommended frequency of exercises in the household environment was 3-4 times per day. The probands exercised with the use of DNS concept according to the individual examination findings, especially in the area of the integrated spine stabilisation system. The data were statistically elaborated by Wilcoxon Signed-Rand test, which a non-parametric variant of the pair T-test. It is obvious from the results that...

Full textAbstract:
Percutaneous Vertebroplasty (PV) has gained widespread popularity in the treatment of Vertebral Body Fractures (VBFs). The procedure involves the injection of polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) cement into the fractured vertebral body via a needle that is placed percutaneously using either a transpedicular or extrapedicular approach. Health Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) evaluation is a widespread method of measure of the disease severity and the outcome of the treatment. The subjective feeling of pain in VBFs is crucial for the HRQoL. The aim of the study was to determine the effectiveness of percutaneous vertebroplasty in the treatment of VBFs. A group of 187 patients with VBFs of different etiology resulting from osteoporosis, trauma or tumors were treated with PV in Pomeranian Center of Tramatology in Gdansk from 2010 to 2011. The effectiveness of the treatment was evaluated with Visual Analog Scale (VAS), Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS-M), Rolland Morris Scale (RMS), 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) and Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) questionaires administered before and one month after surgery. PV decreased significantly VAS score, depression and anxiety level, what improved significantly HRQoL in patients with VBFs.

Introduction: Pain in the area of the lumbar spine has become a serious problem not only in medicine, but also in society. Lack of knowledge and errors resulting from improper load during professional work lead to the formation of microtraumas, and thus permanent changes in the structure of the spine. The aim of the study was to assess the incidence of pain in the lumbar spine in people performing office work and physical work. Material and methods: The study included 70 people of both sexes in the age groups below 18, 18–25, 26–31, and over 40. The respondents were divided into two groups: manual workers – 39 people and office workers – 31 people. The study used a self-authored questionnaire, a standardized Oswestry questionnaire and the VAS pain scale. Results: Pain in the lumbar spine is more common in people who work physically at work. Treatment, after the diagnosis was made, was started by 20 subjects (87.0%). They were all physically working respondents and 62.5% of people working in a sitting position (p=0.011). The impact of pain on functioning in everyday life was assessed in ten aspects using the Oswestry questionnaire. No differences were found between the influence of pain on the size of the limitations of the two groups (p>0.05). The greatest limitations of the respondents were found in terms of the intensity of the pain experienced and changes in its intensity, as well as in the performance of lifting and sitting activities. Conclusions: Regardless of the nature of the work performed, most professionally active people experience pain in the lumbar spine, but it occurs more often in people who work physically. For people who perform manual work, the frequency of pain is defined as “sporadic”, while among office workers, pain occurs more often – several times a month.

Low back pain from arthritic lumbar facet joints and painful degenerative lumbar discs is widespread and one of the world's most disabling diseases, consuming significant health care resources. In this chapter, the authors report using autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and ozone spinal injections into arthritic lumbar facet joints and painful lumbar degenerative discs to treat inflammatory pain. A prospective observational cohort study from January 2016 to March 2020 was performed at an outpatient clinic of a single academic medical center to assess these injections' safety and therapeutic effectiveness in conjunction with epidural transforaminal epidural steroid injections. Results indicated functional improvements measured by Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) and modified MacNab criteria and pain measured by visual analog scale leg pain (VAS) at rest and during flexion. Although our study was limited in scope, and by the observational nature of our research and the lack of randomized and double-blinding, our work suggests that rapid pain reduction and functional gains may materialize in patients with low back pain due to herniated disc after spinal injections with ozone and activated PRP.

Substantial evidence exists supporting lumbar fusion procedures in cases of spondylolysis, spondylolisthesis, and other cases of sagittal deformity. However, coronal deformity can also be a cause of low back and leg pain. One hundred seven patients underwent minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (MITLIF). All patients had preoperative and postoperative radiographs exhibiting a clear coronal deformity that correlated with their symptomatology. Dynamic radiographs were analyzed using a three-point angle measurement tool through the EasyViz viewer program. Pre-op and post-op Cobb angles (CA) were recorded along with Health-related Quality of Life (HRQL) measures, Visual Analog Scale, Oswestry Disability Index, and SF-36. The average CA decreased from 9.47 pre-op to 7.54 post-op (p < 0.05). CA ranged from 0.7 to 43.2% pre-op, and 0.7 to 34.1% post-op. There was a statistically significant (p < 0.05) correlation between CA improvement and HRQL measure improvement. There has not been an appropriate level of focus on coronal deformity, its relationship to HRQL measures, and long-term prognosis. In our study, CA was reduced by 21% on average with just a single-level fusion, supporting the consideration of a focused single-level fusion versus a large multilevel fusion in cases of coronal deformity, especially in elderly patients.

Combining the percutaneous transforaminal endoscopic decompression (PTED) with interspinous process distraction systems (ISP) may offer additional benefits in treating spinal stenosis in patients who have failed conservative treatment. We retrospectively investigated the medical records of 152 patients who underwent transforaminal endoscopic decompression with simultaneous ISP placement through the same incision. Patients were operated on from January 2008 to June 2016 and included 80 males, and 72 patients were females. Clinical data analysis was done on 142 patients two years postoperatively since ten patients were lost in follow-up. Primary outcome measures were pre-and postoperative visual analog scale (VAS) criteria and the Oswestry Disability Index. Only patients with a minimum follow-up of 2 years were included. The analysis included 224 patients who underwent interspinous spacers during the transforaminal endoscopic decompression. Of the 152 patients, 84 complained of axial facet-related pain syndromes versus the remaining 68 patients who chiefly complained of radicular symptoms. The postoperative VAS reduction at two year follow-up for the low back was 6.4. The patient-reported ODI reductions were of a similar magnitude at 40.4%. According to Macnab criteria, the percentage of patients who graded their surgical results as excellent or good was 90%. At two-year follow-up, 5 percent of patients required another operation to deal with failure to cure or recurrent symptoms due to implant subsidence. The authors concluded that adding an interspinous process spacer to the endoscopic decompression in patients treated for lateral lumbar stenosis and foraminal stenosis with low-grade spondylolisthesis might improve clinical outcomes by stabilizing the posterior column.

Prospective, concurrent-cohort study. To establish the relationship between radiographic alignment parameters and functional CoE measurements at one week before and at three months after realignment surgery in ADS patients. Adult degenerative scoliosis (ADS) represents a significant healthcare burden with exceedingly high and increasing prevalence, particularly among the elderly. Radiographic alignment measures and patient-reported outcomes currently serve as the standard means to assess spinal alignment, deformity, and stability. Neurological examinations have served as qualitative measures for indicating muscle strength, motor deficits, and gait abnormalities. Three-Dimensional motion analysis is increasingly being used to identify and measure gait and balance instability. Recently, techniques have been established to quantify balance characteristics described by Dubousset as the “cone of economy” (CoE). The relationship between radiographic alignment parameters and CoE balance measures of ADS patients before and after realignment surgery is currently unknown. 29 ADS patients treated with realignment surgery. Patients were evaluated at one week before realignment surgery and at their three-month follow-up examination. During each evaluation, patients completed self-reported outcomes (visual analog scales for pain, Oswestry Disability Index, SRS22r) and a functional balance test. Mean changes in dependent measures from before to after surgery were compared using paired t-tests. Pearson correlations were used to test for significant correlations between changes in radiographic and CoE measures. Significant improvements were found for all patient-reported outcomes, in several radiographic measures, and in CoE measures. Improvements of scoliosis Cobb angle, coronal pelvic tilt, lumbar lordosis, and thoracic kyphosis showed significant correlations with CoE sway and total distance measures at both the center of mass and center of the head. Improved radiographic alignment measures significantly correlated with improved CoE balance measures among ADS patients treated with realignment surgery at their three-month follow-up. These findings indicate that functional balance evaluations when used in conjunction with radiographic measurements, may provide a more robust and improved patient-specific sensitivity for postoperative assessments. CoE balance may represent a new measure of added value for surgical intervention of ADS.

Objective: Acute lumbar pain syndrome (ALPS) is characterized by pain, spasms, frequent symptoms of lumbar radiculopathy as well as relapses. The Aim of the paper was to compare therapy effectiveness of combination of authorized techniques: McKenzie's mechanical diagnosis and therapy, Kinesio Taping (KT), Thera-Band Academy (TB) with the usual procedures in treatment of ALPS. Methods: The examination included 60 volleyball players diagnosed with ALPS. First group numbered 30 volleyball players included in rehabilitation program which included application of physical modalities (TENS, low-level laser therapy, magnetotherapy) with MDT, KT and TB. Control group numbered 30 volleyball players treated only with physical modalities. Patients were examined upon admission and at the end of hospitalization. Results: Upon admission, value of visual analogue scale of pain (VAS) was x ̅VAS=8,07 in the first group, and x ̅VAS=8,13 in the second; The Oswestry disability index (ODI) averaged x ̅ODI=44,4% for the first group and x ̅ODI=45,2% for the second group. At the end of rehabilitation program, analgesic effect was achieved for the first group with average of x ̅VAS=0,53, while the average value of VAS for the second group was x ̅VAS=3,8 (p<0,001); the average value of ODI for the first group x ̅ODI=14,4% was statistically significantly lesser compared to the second group x ̅ODI=25,87% (p<0,001). Conclusion: In therapy of ALPS the best results are achieved by applying multimodal program of MDT, KT, TB in combination with physical agents.

Background: It is estimated that metastases from primary malignant neoplasms affect the spine around 30%-70% of the time. Many times, these osteolytic tumors will cause the degradation of the vertebrae, leaving patients in a tremendous amount of pain, disability, and dependence on opioids as analgesics. Microwave ablation (MWA) followed by vertebroplasties (VP) has been a developing treatment for such a condition; however, there are no systematic reviews or meta-analyses examining the method’s effectiveness thus far. Purpose: This systematic review and meta-analysis analyzes the 4-week and 12-week outcomes of patients with metastatic spinal cancer treated with the combinatorial treatment of microwave ablation followed by a vertebroplasty. Methods: The systematic review and meta-analysis followed the 2020 PRISMA guidelines. Five online databases (Cochrane, Embase, PubMed, Web Of Science, Scopus) were screened. Included were studies that included 4-week and 12-week Visual Analogue Scales (VAS) scores, Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) measures, and Daily Morphine Consumption (DMC). Four studies fit our inclusion criteria, yielding a sample size of 117 patients. Results: Our results portray strong clinically significant results of utilizing MWA with VP at both 4-weeks and 12-weeks. At 4-weeks, the effect size for the reduction of VAS, ODI, and DMC were Cohen’s d = 4.00, Cohen’s d = 3.29, Cohen’s d = 4.50, respectively. At 12-weeks, the reduction in VAS and DMC had an effect size of Cohen’s d = 4.34 and Cohen’s d = 4.56, respectively. Comparing the 4-week and 12-week VAS scores, there was a difference in Cohen’s d = 0.34, in favor of 12-weeks, signifying a possible clinical significance of even further reduction of VAS scores as time progresses. Conclusion: Utilizing microwave ablation in combination with a vertebroplasty greatly reduced pain, disability, and opioid consumption in patients with metastatic spinal cancer over a 4-week and 12-week timeline. However, with only 117 patient data available to be analyzed, future studies are needed in order to increase the available sample size. Furthermore, comparative randomized controlled trials assessing the significance of utilizing MWA with VP, compared to VP alone could further exemplify the importance of MWA to the treatment.
