“…Previous studies have reported that DT diminished physical performance in both healthy [31] and chronic pain patients. [32] Our results are consistent with those observed by de Gier et al [14] who observed physical performance reduction caused by adding a secondary task. Furthermore, Hemmati et al [32] showed that physical performance was impaired under DT conditions in low back pain patients.…”

Impact of adding a cognitive task while performing physical fitness tests in women with fibromyalgia

Fibromyalgia symptoms cause a significant reduction in the ability to perform daily life activities. These activities often require the ability to perform more than 1 task at the same time.The aim was to investigate how the addition of a cognitive task modifies the performance in physical fitness tests in fibromyalgia and healthy controls.A total of 61 women participated in this study, 31 of them diagnosed with fibromyalgia by a rheumatologist. They performed 3 physical fitness tests (arm curl, handgrip, and 10-steps stair tests) in 2 conditions:a) regular (single task [ST]) andb) while thinking in 3 words that were given before each test and had to be recalled and verbalized after the execution of each test (dual task).The dual task cost was calculated as the difference between the performances in the regular and dual-task (DT) conditions.Healthy controls obtained significantly better results than fibromyalgia in both, dual and single-task conditions. Women with fibromyalgia significantly decreased the performance in the 10-steps stair test when a cognitive task was added. Between-group differences in the dual-task costs (DTC) were not found.Women with fibromyalgia showed lower physical performance than healthy controls in both, single and dual task conditions. In addition, differences between single and dual task conditions were observed in the 10-steps stair test in women with fibromyalgia. This could be related with a reduction in the ability to perform daily life activities. However, results regarding DTC indicate that both groups may be similarly influenced by the addition of a secondary cognitive. Thus, further research with different difficulty levels of DT conditions is needed in fibromyalgia.

“…However, the R 2 value for low back pain in relation to lateral muscular asymmetry is 14% which indicates a weak strength of the relationship between the variables. This finding coincides with prior studies that suggest postural control is not associated with back pain [ 6 - 9 ]. However, the positive coefficient of the best fit line and low R 2 value demonstrated in this study contrasts a study showing poorer postural control in patients with back pain [ 10 ].…”

The objective of this pilot study was to determine if there is a correlation between the proposed physical testing protocol and low back pain. The proposed physical testing protocol is an attempt to assess muscular asymmetry in the anterior-posterior plane and the lateral plane. Methods A total of 96 volunteers were recruited from Touro University after obtaining IRB approval. Volunteers were initially provided a questionnaire regarding demographics and back pain. After ensuring participants satisfied the inclusion criteria, a physical test protocol was performed. After data compilation, odds ratios as well and linear regression models were generated to assess for correlation with back pain. Results A total of 96 participants were recruited. The odds ratio for asymmetric anterior-posterior balance in relation to back pain is 3.00 with a 95% confidence interval 1.26-7.12. The odds ratio for total ability to tolerate asymmetric loads greater than 50% of ideal body weight is 0.44 with a 95% confidence interval 0.11-1.77. The linear regression coefficient of anterior-posterior balance greater than 25% of ideal body weight in relation to level of pain is 1.96. Conclusions Increased muscular asymmetry in the sagittal plane and lateral plane showed a trend toward increased levels of low back pain; however, there is a weak correlation. This is a correlation and not an association. Future studies to assess the relationship between muscular balance and low back pain are needed to determine if therapy can be targeted to improve muscular sagittal balance, which can improve symmetry and back pain.

“…Although the original SEBT consists of eight directions, conventional testing procedures have adopted a modified version of the test, using the anterior, posteromedial, and posterolateral directions (Plisky et al, 2006) due to its high level of representativeness (Hertel et al, 2006). The MSEBT version has been widely used in sports as injury-prevention screening tool (Gkrilias et al, 2018) and to evaluate dynamic balance (Hemmati et al, 2017;Denehey et al, 2018).…”
