Abstract
Introduction. Sway back posture is the most common deviation of sagittal alignment, characterized by multiple compensatory changes that may be caused by various factors and can affect activities of daily living. The aim of the study was to ascertain the efficacy of spinal mobility exercises in subjects with sway back posture.
Materials and methods. This quasi-experimental study involved 30 subjects aged 18 to 25 of both genders with at least 10 degrees of anterior pelvic tilt. Postural analysis was conducted pre- and post-training using APECS (AI Posture Evaluation and Correction System) after 8 weeks of spinal mobility exercises.
Results. Paired t-test analysis showed a statistically significant improvement in the ASIS angle (t = 9.23, p < 0.001, d = 1.83), a post-intervention reduction in the PSIS angle (t = 10.12, p < 0.001, d = 2.00), and pelvic tilt (t = 11.45, p < 0.001, d = 2.25). The results show statistically significant reductions in all postural analysis variables measured using AI software.
Conclusion. Spinal mobility exercises improve functional movement and are an effective treatment for sway back posture. This study presents positive preliminary results for spinal mobility exercises, but full validation is necessary in future research.

Tomasz Miśkiewicz, Zbigniew Dudkiewicz, Robert Irzmański, Katarzyna Michalak, Elżbieta Poziomska-Piątkowska – Efficacy of selected physiotherapeutic procedures in the treatment of lumbar spine pain. Fizjoterapia Polska 2018; 18(3); 12-28

Abstract
Aim of the study. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of selected sets of physiotherapeutic procedures for pain in the lumbosacral segment caused by degenerative disease.
Materials and Methods. The study involved 45 patients with pain syndromes within the lumbosacral spine, who underwent a series of physiotherapy treatments. The subjects were divided into four groups. Three groups were divided depending on the applied sets of physiotherapy treatments, while the fourth group (comparative) were those taking only non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) for the duration of a series of treatments in the remaining groups. The patients were examined using the questionnaire of their own questionnaire, the SF-36 questionnaire (vol.2) of the short questionnaire version (Poland version), Lovett test, Laitinen scale and diagnostic tests (Laseque, Bragard, Thomayer). The tests were carried out immediately before the treatment series and two weeks after its completion.
Results. The subjects were aged 45-65. 71.1% were women and 28.9% were men. 13.3% of people were physically active. Spinal osteoarthritis was the cause of pain in all patients participating in the study. In the research group, a statistically significant difference was found between the results of the severity of pain, the level of muscle strength and the quality of life measured before physiotherapy and 2 weeks after its completion. In 90% of people participating in the procedures, an increase in muscle strength was obtained, whereas in the control group only in 6%. The improvement of the ranges of mobility in the discussed section of the spine concerned 46.6% of the subjects participating in the treatment series. In the comparison group, none of the patients improved their range of motion.
Conclusions. Physiotherapeutic treatments have a positive effect on the reduction of pathological symptoms of the lumbosacral spine. They have a positive effect on improving the quality of life, muscle strength, ranges of mobility and reducing or completely removing pain. Regardless of the applied set of physiotherapeutic treatments, they worked better than the intake of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs by patients.
