“…There were only few studies that confirm concurrent action of pain and proprioception stimulus in spinal cord level ("gate control mechanism") [18,31], that could partly explain our findings. In addition, previous studies have found close relationship between pain intensity and anxiety in chronic back pain patients [33], thus it can be presumed that anxiety and fear were the main mediators between higher pain intensity and greater joint position sense impairment. For patients with chronic back pain the component of somatization and fear (especially fear of movements) has been observed already in previous studies [33].…”

“…In addition, previous studies have found close relationship between pain intensity and anxiety in chronic back pain patients [33], thus it can be presumed that anxiety and fear were the main mediators between higher pain intensity and greater joint position sense impairment. For patients with chronic back pain the component of somatization and fear (especially fear of movements) has been observed already in previous studies [33]. Our finding in the relationship between pain intensity and joint reposition error in limb adjacent to pain localization could be mainly explained by fear and excessive awareness of the painful site (back part), which could result in poor motor task performance (e.g.…”

“…Taking into account the bio-psycho-social aspects of the chronic pain syndrome [33] there is a reason to suggest that limb joints reposition error tests results were influenced by such emotional characteristic of chronic pain patients as anxiety. It has been stated in different studies that there is a connection between anxiety and disturbed motor task performance, also, anxiety diminished body representation in CNS [34,35].…”

Purpose: To analyze limbs joint positions’ sense and its relationship with pain intensity and duration in patients with chronic non-specific back pain. Methods: Study design: cross-sectional study. For assessment of patients, the following elements were used: general data collection protocol; evaluation of pain intensity using the Visual Analogue Scale; assessment of limb kinesthesia: determination of reposition precision of a 90-degree flexion angle in shoulder, elbow, hip and knee joints. Subjects. The study included 100 patients (88 women, 12 men) with chronic non-specific back pain, who met the selection criteria for the study. The average age of patients was 45.9 ± 11.6 years, and it ranged from 19 to 64 years. Results: All participants of the study were found to have diminished upper and lower limbs kinesthesia. The study results showed plausible (p < 0.05) relation between limbs kinesthesia and pain intensity and duration, and these correlations were significantly determined by pain localization. Conclusion: Limb kinesthesia is plausibly related to the manifestation of pain in patients with chronic non-specific back pain.

“…Working with computers presents ergonomic risks due to the static postures that are maintained for a long time; they are repetitive and sometimes forceful (Nag et al, 2009;Zakerian and Subramanian, 2009;Brauer et al, 2010;Mueller and Hassenzahl, 2010;Ðmite and Ancane, 2010). The overuse syndrome caused by physical overload includes common lesions such as channel bursitis, mono-and polyneuropathies, and compression (Orsila et al, 2011).…”

Communicated by Modra MurovskaThis investigation was carried out in the frames of the Interreg 4A project "Workability and Social Inclusion" headed by the Arcada University of Applied Life. Tallinn University of Technology and Rîga Stradiòð University were involved in the project. A questionnaire based on the Nordic, WAI (Work Ability Index), and Kiva questionnaires was compiled to study psychosocial and physical working conditions at computer-equipped workplaces for 192 workers. The results showed that the computer workers assess their health status considerably high. They are optimistic in solving the problem that the monotonous work with computers will continue and believe that their health status in the future will stay at the same level using the steadily enhancing rehabilitation means. The most injured regions of the body were the right wrist and the neck. The novelty of the study consists in the graphical co-analysis of different groups of questions presented to the workers, which allows to assess the physiological and psychological factors in complex. The rehabilitation means have to be developed and the possibility for rehabilitation must be made available to the greatest possible number of workers. The workers were divided into two groups: Group A, the length of employment with computers under 10 years (included) and Group B, having been working with computers over 10 years. These groups were found to differ in the perception of psychosocial risk factors at the workplace. Group B assessments for psychosocial working conditions were better than those of group A. In group B, employees appeared to be more afraid of losing their jobs and therefore they were not so demanding for the work atmosphere as in group A.Pçtîjums veikts projekta Interreg 4A "Efektivitâte un sociâlâ iekïauðanâs" ietvaros.

Background: Mental processes can make the pain and quality of life of women with chronic psychosomatic low back pain better or worse. acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) and biofeedback have on some psychosomatic disorder. Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of ACT and biofeedback on severity and duration of pain and quality of life among women with chronic psychosomatic low back pain. Materials & Methods: This three-group Pre-test and post-test controlled quasi-experimental study was conducted from September 2016 to June 2017. Thirty women with chronic psychosomatic low back pain were conveniently recruited from Rasht pain clinic, Rasht, Iran, and randomly allocated to three ten-person groups including ACT, biofeedback, and control groups. Data were collected before and after the study intervention using the McGill Pain Questionnaire and the short version of the World Health Organization quality of life (QOL) survey. Data analysis was performed using the one-way analysis of variance as well as the Chi-square, the paired-sample Test, and post-hoc Scheffe Tests. Results: Both ACT and biofeedback interventions significantly and similarly reduce severity and duration of pain and improve the quality of life. ACT had significant effects on the psychological, social, and environmental health domains of quality of life, while biofeedback had significant effects only on the physical health domain. Conclusion: ACT and biofeedback are effective on psychosomatic low back pain. Unlike the ACT, biofeedback has significant effect on the physical health aspect of QOL and it has no effects on the other aspects of QOL.
