“…If one or more of these systems fail, or the sensory information is not correctly processed, the risk of a fall or instability increases. As balance is the foundation for all voluntary motor skills, considerable research has been conducted to evaluate the balance performance in patients with low back pain 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 ) , anterior cruciate ligament injury 7 , 8 ) , and chronic ankle instability 9 , 10 ) . Many variables have been developed from force platform signals to quantify postural steadiness.…”

“…Additionally, a higher COP sway velocity is usually found in LBP cases. Da Silva et al [ 17 ] found a higher mean velocity and sway area in workers with LBP vs. healthy workers. Similar results have been found in other studies [ 14 , 37 ].…”

“…Several studies have shown an association between the LBP registered by different questionnaires such as the Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Questionnaire and an alteration in sway parameters [ 14 , 15 , 16 ]. Increased postural sway is also commonly found in patients suffering from this musculoskeletal disorder [ 17 , 18 ]. Additionally, an increased postural instability can be found in people suffering from LBP, with this instability deteriorating with the pain level (16).…”

Background: Low back pain (LBP) is a common recurrent pathology among assembly chain workers. This population tends to spend most of the workday in a static standing posture and handling loads, with balance being essential for correct job performance. LBP is related to poorer postural control, so balance could be affected in this condition. Methods: The purpose of the present study is to analyze the deterioration of static balance generated by work activity in a prolonged standing position. We assess sway with a pressure platform at three moments of the workday (before, during, and after work), comparing the different balance parameters in 22 manufacturing plant workers with (17) and without (5) LBP. Results: In the pre-work capture, an independent t-test showed no significant differences between the pain and non-pain groups’ static balance parameters. Between the pre- and mid-workday captures, a two-way ANOVA with repeated measures showed a significant decrease in the medial-lateral center of pressure displacement with open eyes in workers with LBP. Conclusions: workers with low back pain do not show a greater deterioration in static balance than workers without pain during the workday.

BackgroundChronic low back pain (CLBP) is an important disorder in athletes that may negatively affect their performance in competitions. The literature usually recommends physiotherapy based on exercises for back pain management in athletes. Recent evidence suggests that interventions based on lumbar muscle stabilisation exercises (LMSE) and back endurance-resistance exercises (BERE) may improve back pain and function performance. However, it is still unclear which type of exercise is more effective for the treatment of CLBP in athletes.ObjectiveTo compare the efficacy of LMSE versus BERE in athletes with CLBP.DesignThe study is a 2-arm, prospectively registered, randomised controlled trial.SettingThe physical therapy clinical and biomechanics laboratory of the UNOPAR University.Participants32 male athletes with CLBP, age between 18 and 40 years old, recruited from the local community.InterventionAn 8-week intervention programme will be carried out with LMSE s versus BERE.MeasurementsTrunk neuromuscular patterns during balance tasks (unipodal and over a ball) using electromyography and force platform parameters, pain, disability, fear and avoidance will be assessed by a blinded assessor at baseline and at follow-up after 8 weeks of intervention period.LimitationsThe absence of blinding intervention and the exclusion of female athletes, seated sports and swimmers will affect the internal and external validity of the study.ConclusionsThe results of this study will elucidate which of these two interventions promote better results in trunk neuromuscular pattern, back pain and function in male athletes with CLBP.
