Despite the growing clinical importance of interspinous ligament degeneration in low back pain patients, formal reliability studies for the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) evaluation of interspinous ligaments have not been performed. We proposed an MRI classification system for interspinous ligament degeneration and conducted a comprehensive reliability and reproducibility assessment. Fifty patients who had low back pain with or without leg discomfort (26 males and 24 females) with a mean age of 48.8nbsp;years (range 23–85nbsp;years) were studied. The classification for lumbar interspinous ligament degeneration was developed on the basis of the lit… br

Scoliosis Back Pain

Scoliosis Back Pain
Scoliosis back pain is a great conundrum for dorsopathy patients, since this spinal curvature condition is often blamed for sourcing symptoms, yet treatments are rarely, if ever, successful. Scoliosis describes a spinal abnormality in which the patient suffers an atypical side to side curvature of the spine at one or more locations. Some patients have a single abnormal curve, generally referred to as a “C” curve, while others have 2 or more abnormal curves, generally referred to as an “S” curve.

Cost effectiveness of two rehabilitation programmes for neck and back pain patients: A seven year follow-up. Jensen IB, Busch H, Bodin L, Hagberg J, Nygren A, Bergström G. Pain 2009;142(3): 202–8

Cost effectiveness of two rehabilitation programmes for neck and back pain patients: A seven year follow-up. Jensen IB, Busch H, Bodin L, Hagberg J, Nygren A, Bergström G. Pain 2009;142(3): 202–8
The cost effectiveness of work-oriented rehabilitation for persons on long-term sick leave needs to be assessed. This prospective observational study presents a follow-up seven years after rehabilitation using two different evidence-based work-oriented regimens. Individuals on sick leave for neck and back pain were referred to two rehabilitation programmes in Sweden. The first programme was a relatively low-intensity programme based on orthopaedic manual therapy and exercise programme (OMTP). The second programme was a full-time multidisciplinary programme (MDP). The primary outcome was sickness absence seven years after intervention. Cost effectiveness was calculated on the basis of loss of production due to sickness absence. The results show that participants referred to MDP and with les…

Lumbar Spine and Pelvic Posture Between Standing and Sitting: A Radiologic Investigation Including Reliability and Repeatability of the Lumbar Lordosis Measure

Lumbar Spine and Pelvic Posture Between Standing and Sitting: A Radiologic Investigation Including Reliability and Repeatability of the Lumbar Lordosis Measure
Conclusion: The significant differences in lumbar and pelvic measures from standing to sitting further emphasize the range of motion experienced at vertebral levels in sitting. Based on the results of this study, interventions to return motion segments to a less flexed posture should be investigated because they may play a role in preventing injury and low back pain.
