“…Mbada et al [40] summarized that pain is the major impairment of long-term LBP and it results in deconditioning of the musculoskeletal system leading to loss of motion, stiffness, cartilage degeneration, fear-avoidance behaviour, iatrogenic muscular inhibition, and muscle atrophy [28,29]. Like a vicious cycle, the deconditioning syndrome may also precipitate and perpetuate pain which consequents in recurrent or acute-on-chronic LBP.…”

This study investigated the effect of static or dynamic back extensors endurance exercise in combination with McKenzie Protocol (MP) in patients with Long-term Mechanical Low-Back Pain (LMLBP). This randomized controlled trial involved 84 patients, who were assigned into MP Group (MPG), MP plus Static Back Extensors Endurance (SBEE) Exercise Group (MPSBEEG), or MP plus Dynamic Back Extensors' Endurance (DBEE) Exercise Group (MPDBEEG). Twenty-five, 22, and 20 participants in MPG, MPSBEEG, and MPDBEEG, respectively, completed the thrice weekly eight-week study (drop-out rate = 20.2%) and outcomes were measured in terms of SBEE, DBEE, and Back Muscles Fatigue (BMF) at the 4th and 8th week, respectively. There were significant differences in groups mean change scores on

“…Much data exist reporting improvements in neck muscle strength and reduction of neck pain after rehabilitation (Highland et al, 1992;Jordan and Mehlsen, 1993;Berg et al, 1994;Ylinen and Ruuska, 1994;Randlov et al, 1998;Nelson et al, 1999;Kay et al, 2005;Falla et al, 2006;O'Leary et al, 2007a;Ask et al, 2009). On the other hand, some authors have stressed that quantification of spinal disease through strength measurements is not valid as strength is poorly correlated with pain and disability both before and after treatment.…”

Between January 1999 and January 2002, 611 patients underwent surgery, 32% women and 68% men, age between 18 and 65 years (average age 43.8 years). Clinical follow-up examinations were carried out after 3 months, follow-ups with questionnaire after 1 and 2 years. The evaluation criteria were based on an own questionnaire, and also on MacNab's score and the visual analog scale (VAS). After 2 years 558 patients (91.2%) responded to the questionnaires. Excellent or good results were achieved in 95.3% of the patients. 74.7% were very satisfied, 20.6% satisfied. The result was judged unsatisfactory by 4.7% of patients (less satisfied 3.9%, unsatisfied 0.8%). The numbness of the leg, present in 448 patients preoperatively, was either no longer present (63.9%) or had improved (30.3%). There were no serious complications, in particular no infections. The recurrence rate was 3.6%.
