Combination Therapeutic Exercises with Manipulation for Reliving
Pain and Increasing Range of Motion for Non-Specific Chronic Low Back Pain
The lumbar spine is composed of the vertebrae as well as the ligaments beside the discs, nerves and muscles. This area is a common source of pain. This is one of reasons why people visit their physicians. Around seventy percent of people who live in advanced countries will have lower back pain at some point. Each year, approximately half of adult population present with low back pain and five percent of these patients see a clinician when a new episode occurs. Out of this population, ten percent still cannot work and twenty percent have persistent pain for a year.
Rationale:
There is no study combining these two interventions so we may have superior results if we combined both therapeutic and manipulation because therapeutic exercise and manipulation are the most effective and also the most the essential choice for treating non-specific chronic low back pain.
Purpose of the study:
The purpose of the present study is to assess the effectiveness of manipulations with therapeutic exercises on pain, ROM and function with chronic non-specific low back pain. It is a golden opportunity for the researchers to make RCT's study or the clinician to make case study by using therapeutic exercise and manipulation for non-specific chronic low back pain.
Method:
A total number of fifty subjects from both sexes aged between 40 -- 70 years diagnosed with non-specific chronic low back pain participated in this...
The inclusion criteria are chronic low back pain patients with or without radiation not less than three months duration and history of slow, insidious onset of pain. The age of our patients should be between 40 to 70 years. Nature of pain-aching pain, feeling of heaviness in legs, intermittent burning, or numbness. In this study we will use a prospective repeated-measures design to determine the efficacy of two interventions during a six-week program. Every measurement was taken two times: at baseline level (pretest) and after the last session of intervention. We will use a visual analog scale (VAS) 11-pointscale (0-10) to find the differences between the groups. Our Participants will be recruited from the Department of physical Therapy Clinic, Andrews University. Our Participants will be recruited from the Department of Physical Therapy Clinic, Andrews University. All subjects will be tested using pretest measurements, which included calculation of spinal range of motion measurement as per the modified Schober's test, functional disability measurement, using the Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Questionnaire, and average VAS at rest and while active.
Procedures:
The independent variable is manipulation for the lower therapeutic exercises. The dependent variables of this study are spinal range of motion measurement, functional disability measurement, and VAS (Visual Analogue Scale). In this study we will use a prospective repeated-measures design to determine the efficacy of two interventions during a six-week program. Group I is the patient group who will be treated by the manipulation and therapeutic exercises…
If the numbers or the data will not be constant, the results will not be paralleled and will surely have discrepancy on its accuracy. Meanwhile, experimenter bias is a big threat to the accuracy and/or precision of the report's result. An example of the threat is not being able to identify all the factors that might affect the result. An experiment can be said biased if he/she has already an
Independent Variables in a Study Describe the Dependent and Independent Variables Used in a Study Over the last several years, businesses have been working on identifying new techniques that can be used to increase productivity and the bottom line results. At the heart of this transformation, is an emphasis of objectively focusing on the problem through using scientific methods. To full understand how these ideas are a part of the business
The findings presented by Snowden within his study Visual Attention to Color are extremely intriguing when one considers the history of research on M. stream/P stream activity and attentional guidance. As Snowden states in the Discussion section of his article, "the current finding appears to establish conditions under which a purely chromatic signal can automatically attract attention, and thus shows that color vision can play a vital role in the
Memory Recall Author(s) First, Middle Initial (if applicable) and Last Name(s) in Starting with the Individual who Made the Biggest Contribution (not alphabetical) This study examines the difference that categorization makes in memory recall exercises. It uses students from Queens College in an experiment in which categorized words are read aloud to one group and random words read aloud to a second group. The groups are then scored according to how many
Nonparametric Analysis of Data Set The datasets consist of the following variables: • Sub_num • Gender • Major • Coffee, and • Num_cups. The datasets are used for the nonparametric analysis to investigate whether the choices of college majors are different between males and female's individuals. The analysis is carried out with the chi-square test and the document presents the output as follows: Gender * Major Cross-tabulation Count Major Total Gender Total Chi-Square Tests Value Df Asymp. Sig. (2-sided) Pearson Chi-Square Likelihood Ratio Linear-by-Linear Association N of Valid Cases The minimum
The data collected will be ordinal, largely strongly agree, agree, disagree, strongly disagree type of answers. This is practical because we are trying to gauge not only whether the sentiment exists, but the intensity of the sentiment on the part of the consumer. The decision rule that will confirm or deny the hypothesis is the correlation of responses indicating fear of West Nile and responses indicating that this drives a
