“…Muscle cellular, morphological, and functional characteristics are associated with LBP and degenerative spine disorders [37]. Therefore, the multifactorial nature of LBP demands a spectrum of interventions for restoring function to the paraspinal muscles [38,39].…”

Objective To assess the effects of Kinesio Taping (KT), with or without tension, and post-isometric muscle relaxation (PIR) on pain intensity and the mechanical properties of myofascial tissues in chronic low back pain (LBP) patients. Methods Study participants (n = 64), aged 20 to 60, were randomly assigned to one of the three intervention groups. The numerical rating scale (NRS) assessed pain intensity at rest, and the MyotonPRO© measured tension, stiffness, and relaxation in the erector spinae on both sides of the lumbar spine. The examinations were undertaken before the intervention, post-interventions, and at a seven-day follow-up. Results Pain level was reduced for all groups (F (4, 116) = 39.2010, p < 0.01). In addition, post hoc analysis of the KT group showed significant increases in the tension and stiffness of the erector spinae and significantly decreased relaxation between the pre-intervention and follow-up measurements, but only on the non-dominant side (p < 0.01). Conclusions Assuming that the lack of asymmetry in muscle tension, stiffness, and relaxation is a normative value, it can be interpreted that the applied interventions were insufficient. As such, KT should be considered a complementary method of pain reduction in conjunction with conventional physiotherapy in LBP patients.

Objective:To assess the effects of Kinesio Taping (KT), with or without tension, and post-isometric muscle relaxation (PIR) on pain intensity and the mechanical properties of myofascial tissues in chronic low back pain (LBP) patients. Material and methods: Study participants (n = 64), aged 20 to 60, were randomly assigned to one of the three intervention groups. The numerical rating scale (NRS) assessed pain intensity at rest, and the MyotonPRO© measured tension, stiffness, and relaxation in the erector spinae on both sides of the lumbar spine. The examinations were undertaken before the intervention, post-interventions, and at a seven-day follow-up. Results: Pain level was reduced for all groups (F (4, 116) = 39.2010, p < 0.01). In addition, post hoc analysis of the KT group showed significant increases in the tension and stiffness of the erector spinae and significantly decreased relaxation between the pre-intervention and follow-up measurements, but only on the non-dominant side (p < 0.01). Conclusions: KT with or without tape tension and PIR had similar effects in decreasing the level of resting pain, though there were no intergroup differences in the numerical pain scale or selected mechanical properties. Asymmetries in myofascial tissue between sides of the spine have occurred, it can be concluded that the interventions were insufficient to restore normal function in soft tissue.

“…Re-educated, self-corrected posture with specific postural training would be expected to improve proprioception in postural control. There is preliminary evidence that a single session of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation exercises has a beneficial effect to alleviate pain in chronic LBP patients [ 50 ].…”

Objective: The purpose of the study was to compare the pressure pain threshold (PPT) of soft tissue and the curvatures of the spine in a sitting position and to estimate associated physical risk factors with low back pain (LBP) in young adults. Subjects: White-collar workers (n= 139), both women (n = 51) and men (n = 88) were separated into a control group (n = 82) and a low-intensity LBP (NRS < 3) (n = 57). Methods: The PPTs were tested utilizing the Wagner algometer. The curvatures of the spine were measured employing the photogrammetric method. In the logistic regression model, the odds ratio (OR) was estimated with ±95% confidence interval (CI) indicating the probability of the reported LBP. Results: The PPTs of soft tissue (OR = 1.1; CI = 1.02–1.19; p < 0.05) and the angle of the thoracolumbar spine in the everyday, habitual sitting position (OR = 1.19; CI = 1.05–1.34; p < 0.05) were associated with low-intensity LBP in female subjects. Additionally, the low intensity LBP were associated with the angles of the torso (OR = 1.14; CI = 1.01–1.29; p < 0.05) and the lumbosacral spine in the corrected sitting position (OR = 1.06; CI = 0.98–1.15; p > 0.05) and BMI (OR = 1.56; CI = 0.84–2.90; p > 0.05) in male subjects. Conclusion: Individual risk factors were associated with the low-intensity LBP only in females utilizing the PPT and the thoracolumbar angle in the habitual sitting position study factors. Men from the LBP group did not effectively correct the lumbosacral angle. Therefore, re-educated, self-corrected posture with specific postural training would be expected to improve proprioception in postural control capacity and result in decreasing pain.
