Introduction Shoulder-pelvic integration could play a central role in the control of dynamic posture and movement. However, kinematic coordination during axial trunk rotation has not been carefully investigated in subjects with recurrent low back pain (LBP). The purpose of this study was to compare the maximum rotational angles of the shoulders and pelvis in the transverse plane between subjects with and without recurrent LBP. Materials and methods A total of 38 age-matched subjects (19 control subjects: 69.00 ± 5.75 years old and 19 subjects with LBP: 68.79 ± 5.40 years old) participated in the study. The axial trunk rotation test was conducted in the upright position with bilateral hips and knees fully extended and both feet shoulder width apart. Results The results of this study indicated that there was a difference in pelvic girdle rotation between groups (100.79 ± 26.46 in the control group, 82.12 ± 23.16 in the LBP group; t = 2.31, p = 0.02); however, there was no difference for the shoulder girdle (177.63 ± 36.98 in the control group, 156.42 ± 30.09 in the LBP group; t = 1.91, p = 0.06). There were interactions with age (F = 9.27, p = 0.004) and BMI (F = 7.50, p = 0.01) with the rotational angles of the shoulder and pelvis. Conclusion These results indicated a different pattern of trunk rotation movement with the age and BMI serving as important factors to consider for recurrent LBP. The results of our study also indicated a different pattern of shoulder and pelvic coordination with age and gender. Clinicians need to consider the consequences of limited shoulderpelvic rotational angles, especially limited rotational angle on the pelvis during trunk axial rotation. Further studies are required to determine the causes of the underlying problems for clinical decision-making and altered shoulderpelvic rotation in subjects with recurrent LBP.

“…Pacientes lombálgicos crônicos apresentam mudanças na estratégia do controle motor da musculatura do tronco, que levam a prejuízos nas atividades dos músculos profundos (atraso na ativação muscular, menor tonicidade) (10) e alterações do sistema proprioceptivo, pelo alto limiar de aferências nociceptivas, contribuem para o de icit de equilíbrio postural e proprioceptivo (11).…”

INTRODUÇÃO: A dor lombar crônica apresenta alta incidência, grandes custos sociais e pessoais e esforços terapêuticos muitas vezes frustrantes. Faz-se necessário, então, avaliar os recursos fisioterapêuticos para entendê-los melhor e fundamentá-los cientificamente. OBJETIVOS: Comparar os efeitos entre duas intervenções fisioterapêuticas sobre a força muscular respiratória (FMR) e a capacidade funcional (CF) em pacientes com lombalgia crônica. MATERIAIS E MÉTODOS: Série de casos cuja amostra (n = 10), composta por portadores de dor lombar crônica, foi dividida aleatoriamente em grupo controle, que recebeu fisioterapia convencional (eletroanalgesia, massoterapia e flexibilização), e grupo experimental, que recebeu a cinesioterapia combinada (composta por técnicas de isostretching + treinamento sensório-motor aquático). A mensuração da CF, realizada pelo teste de caminhada de seis minutos (TC6), e da FMR, pelas pressões máximas inspiratória (Pimáx) e expiratórias (Pemáx) por meio de manuvacuometria, aconteceu antes (ΔINI) e após (ΔFIN) as intervenções, que duraram sete semanas, com três sessões semanais. As comparações foram feitas pelo Mann-Whitney e Wilcoxon (α = 0,05). RESULTADOS: No GE, observou-se melhora, intragrupo, na Pimáx (p = 0,0164), Pemáx (p = 0,0227) e TC6 (p = 0,0092), e, no GC, apenas no TC6 (p = 0,018). Nas comparações intergrupo, obteve-se Pimáx e Pemáx semelhantes na ΔINI, mas diferentes na ΔFIN (p = 0,0166; p = 0,0045); e no TC6, observou-se diferença significativa apenas na ΔINI (p = 0,0484). CONCLUSÃO: O isostretching e treinamento sensório-motor aquático foram eficazes na melhora da FMR e da CF, e o tratamento fisioterapêutico convencional foi efetivo apenas na melhora da CF.

“…There is a 24% to 87% rate of recurrence within one year in those who have recovered from an episode of LBP (Pengel et al, 2003;Stanton et al, 2008). Several studies have reported poor coordination of balance performance in subjects with recurrent LBP (Brumagne et al, 2000;Sung and Park, 2009;Tsao et al, 2010). It is generally accepted that individuals with recurrent LBP possess altered proprioceptive postural control as well as less refined positional sense (Brumagne et al, 2008b;Sung, 2013;.…”

“…The kinematic stability has frequently been used for balance assessments based on the ground reaction force and muscle activities (Burnett et al, 2011;Lee et al, 2007;Sung and Park, 2009). The performance of postural stability reflect kinematic changes during standing (Karlsson and Frykberg, 2000), and the possible postural stability might be due to proprioceptive deficits in the spinal region (Jo et al, 2011;Nies and Sinnott, 1991;Silfies et al, 2003).…”
