Effects of Long-Term Corset Wearing on Chronic Low Back Pain

SUMMARYWe describe the case of a 3-year-old girl with a 15-day clinical history of lower back pain. We diagnosed a spondylodiscitis of vertebral bodies L5-S1 caused by Salmonella species group B that totally recovered with appropriate antibiotic therapy. Spondylodiscitis in children is a rare condition and Salmonella infection is one of the rarest aetiology. A high index of suspicion is needed for prompt diagnosis to ensure better long-term outcome. Microbiological diagnosis is essential for the appropriate choice of antibiotic treatment. BACKGROUND

“…Patients with degenerative spondylolistesis greater than 4 mm translation were excluded. Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) ( Table 1) [19], Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) (Figure 2) [20], modified Japanese Orthopaedic Association scoring system (JOA) ( Table 2) [21] were used to compare the surgical effect and the degree of pain of patients 2 days before and 1 month after surgery. …”

“…Zero is equated with no disability and 100 is the maximum disability possible. (21). The score rating system is divided into a 29-point scale of 9 points for "subjective symptoms", 6 points for "objective observations", 14 points for "activities of daily living (ADL)" and minus 6 points for "bladder function"; higher point scores indicate improved symptoms.…”

Aim of this prospective study is to assess the effect of posterior dynamic stabilization IntraSPINE system on sagittal spinal balance, using EOS ® X-Ray imaging system. Between March and December 2015, 8 patients affected by lumbar soft stenosis underwent indirect decompression of the lumbar canal by positioning of IntraSPINE ® device. Sagittal balance was evaluated considering following parameters: C7 Plum Line (C7PL), Thoracic Kyphosis (TK), Lumbar Lordosis (LL), Pelvic Tilt (PT), Pelvic Index (PI) and Sacral Slope (SS). The EOS ® 2D/3D system and corresponding sterEOS 3D software for surface 3D reconstruction has been used to calculate the above mentioned parameters. All patients had neurogenic claudication and low back pain for more than 6 months and resistant to drug treatment. They underwent clinical examination before surgery and 1 month after surgery. Statistical analyses were performed using Stata software. All results were considered significant if p<0.05. C7PL, TK, LL, PI and SS were not modified after surgery. PT increased after surgery. VAS, ODI and JOA significantly increased after surgery. The results show that the posterior dynamic stabilization offered by this device leads to a good symptoms control and does not seems to change the sagittal balance.

“…Longterm use of lumbar support has therefore been considered to lead to disuse atrophy of back muscles due to restriction of lumbar movement. In our previous study, muscle fatigue was not increased 6 months after wearing a corset of a similar type to the traditional lumbar support used in this study 16) . Neither lumbar support in the present study led to the disuse of lower back muscles.…”

: Background : Lumbar supports are used in the management of low back pain (LBP). Although various types of lumbar supports are available, insufficient evidence exists regarding their effectiveness. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of two types of lumbar support on postural change and muscle fatigue in a prospective longitudinal study. Methods : A total of 144 subjects (9 men and 135 women) with LBP were enrolled in this study. Subjects were divided into 2 groups : a conventional lumbosacral support (LS) group and a weartype support (SW) group. They filled in questionnaires that included the Short Form 36 -Item Health Survey (SF -36), the Roland -Morris Disability Questionnaire (RDQ), and a questionnaire that evaluated the severity of LBP at baseline, 1, 2, and 3 months. The first 40 enrolled subjects were investigated for muscle fatigue and walking efficacy during a gait -loading test, and posture at baseline, 1 month, and 3 months. Results : The intensity of LBP and the number of days with LBP significantly decreased over time in both groups. The decrease was similar in both groups at each time point. Wearing either support for 3 months did not induce erector spinae muscle fatigue. Furthermore, walking efficacy improved but spinal alignment was not affected by either support. Subjects in the SW group reported that the support was comfortable to wear for long periods, while subjects in the LS group mentioned that the LS relieved LBP by tightly supporting the lower back. Conclusion : Both types of support reduced mild LBP and improved walking efficiency without causing muscle fatigue.
