Abstract
Purpose. To assess the efficacy of visceral osteopathy for low back pain (LBP) caused by visceral dysfunctions.
Methods. Randomized controlled trial. This research included forty participants ranged in age from 25 to 40 years old who were suffering from LBP due to visceral dysfunctions. They were split into two classes of the same size; Study group (A) received visceral osteopathic manipulations once a_week for three weeks and Control group (B) received analgesic drugs only for three weeks. Visual analogue scale (VAS), Owestry disability index (ODI) and Modified Schober’s test (MST) were evaluated for all participants in both groups before and after treatment.
Results: The comparison between both groups revealed significant decrease in VAS and ODI (p < 0.05) as well as significant increase in MST (p < 0.05) in favor of study group (A) post treatment.
Conclusion: Osteopathy is effective in pain management and functional status improvements in LBP patients.

Abstract
Background. Low back pain is both a medical and a social problem. One way to limit its dimensions is prevention, broadly understood. In our research we attempted to determine how activities of daily living that are particularly burdensome for the spine are performed. Material and methods. Our research involved 265 healthy subject (i.e. without spinal pain symptoms at the moment of testing), among whom 136 were manual laborers and 129 were white-collar workers. The subject were asked to perform 3 movement tasks: to change body position from lying to standing, to assume a sitting position on a chair, and to lift a weigh from the floor. Results. The results we obtained indicate a lack of proper movement habits, which are essential in the prevention of low back pain in the great majority of subjects. Conclusions. It would be advisable to conduct training in the area of preventing strain on the spine, as a result of which spinal pain symptoms can develop. The general public should be made aware of the importance of the problem, with particular emphasis on the consequences of the errors committed on a daily basis.

Abstract
Back pain, from social standpoint, belongs to the most important illnesses, despite the fact that it does not pose a direct life threat. Eighty per cent of adults are estimated to suffer from back pain daily. Most frequently, though, the true reasons, for the illness remain unknown. However, revealing factors that influence the occurrence of back pain in riders, and especially dressage riders, may be of considerale preventive importance. The paper presents problems that arise im movement relation between the rider and the horse in view of biomechanics of the seat.

Tadeusz Guranowski, Włodzimierz Kuliński, Zbigniew Lipiec – Local experience in the treatment of low back pain using the McKenzie method. Fizjoterapia Polska 2002; 2(3); 185-193

Abstract
Background. The goal of our study was to evaluate the value of the McKenzie program in reducing pain symptoms in patients with low back pain. Material and methods. The research involved a group of 25 patients (12 men and 13 women) ranging in age from 23 to 74 years. The patients were referred for treatment on the basis of subjective complaints, neurological and functional physical examinations, additional tests, and a test sheet developed by McKenzie, according to which the so-called „functional degree of damage” to the intervertebral disk was assessed on a scale from 1 to 7. The group included both inpatients in neurological and neurosurgical departments and outpatients. After preliminary examination all these patients were included in the group of persons with structural disturbances. The patients were treated under the McKenzie program for 10 days in the Rehabilitation Department (second examination). For the next three weeks the patients continued the program at home. In addition, they were instructed as to the proper manner of performing activities of daily living. A follow-up test was performed after 30 days (third examination). The effectiveness of the program was evaluated on the basis of the clinical status of the patients, evaluated both subjectively and objectively.Results. An analysis of the results indicates that the McKenzie Method we used had a favorable impact on reducing pain complaints and improving the patients’ functioning. In the experimental group 23 patients reported subjective improvement; Lasseque’s sign disappeared in 9 of 15 patients; pain complaints were reduced and nerve root pain radiation was eliminated in 13 patients; in 2 cases the application of the program did not lead to improvement. Conclusions. The McKenzie Method used in the conservative treatment of low back pain deserves particular attention. The transparent and rapid diagnostic methods and high effectiveness confirm the advisability of its application in the therapy of patients with low back pain.

Zbigniew Śliwiński, Kamila Kasperek-Konopnicka – An analysis of pain symptoms in patients with chronic spinal syndrome under treatment in health resorts. Fizjoterapia Polska 2003; 3(1); 38-47

Abstract
Background. Pain in the lower segment of the lumbar spine and the lumbo-sacral transition constitutes a major challenge for all those involved in the individual’s treatment: physicians, physiotherapists, psychologists, psychotherapists. The goal of the present study was to determine which structures are the most common source of pain symptoms in patients with chronic spinal syndrome treated in health resorts. Material and methods. We examined 52 patients complaining of pain in the lower lumbar spine, the lumbo-sacral transition, the hip joint, and the lower extremities. The research methods included patient history, analysis of existing patient documentation, x-ray, MRI, CT, measurement of reobasis and chronaxis for the anterior tibial muscle in the left and right leg (using a PHYSIOTER D-50), and manual examination. A medical rehabilitation program was developed on the basis of the research and the medical indications. Test results were recorded twice: before the beginning of treatment and after its completion. Results. Laseque’s sign occurred most often in patients with ischialgia and discopathy. Irritation of the pelvic ligaments was particularly often seen in patients with discopathy, degenerative changes in the spine, and ischialgia. Changes in the sensibility of the sciatic nerve were found in discopathy patients. Conclusions. The most frequently diagnosed disorder in the patients we examined was discopathy. Laseque’s sign occurring before therapy resolved in the majority of cases after health resort treatment. The results from Patric’s test point to improvement of hip and spine function, not only in patients with degenerative changes, but also in discopathy patients. The muscles from the sciatic-crural group, the calf muscles, and the femoral-lumbar muscles were most often of abnormal length in this group of patients. These parameters can produce false results in the Laseque test and the tension test for the sciatic nerve.

Andrzej Żytkowski, Henryk Chmielewski, Beata Wrodycka – Interpretation of the results of physiotherapy for low back pain based on the Ryodoraku electrodermal measurements. Fizjoterapia Polska 2007; 7(4); 392-400

Abstract
Background. The aim of this study was to analyse skin conductance of a direct current (galvanic skin response, GSR) in dermatomes corresponding to the level of discopathy and to provide an indirect objective interpretation of several commonly used physiotherapeutic methods: low frequency diadynamic currents, medium frequency interferential currents, low frequency pulsed magnetic therapy and classic acupuncture. Material and methods. Tests of GSR, an indirect measure of sympathetic activity, were carried out in addition to clinical assessment and radiological studies in a group of 164 patients with diagnosed low back pain [65 persons with a pseudoradicular pain syndrome and 99 patients with evident sciatic neuralgia], using the diagnostic component of Yoshio Nakatani’s Ryodoraku method. The essence of the method is the measurement of skin conductance of a 200 uA direct current at 24 points of the body regarded as representative of systemic sympathetic activity. Results. There was no correlation between the clinical characteristics of a pain syndrome and GSR changes. Skin conductance values significantly more often fell within the normal range following exposure to a low frequency magnetic field compared of the other physical therapy methods investigated in the study. Conclusions. The following conclusions can be made on the basis of the observed outcomes: 1. The Ryodoraku method is non-specific and inappropriate as an additional tool for the diagnosis of sciatic neuralgia; 2. Some correlations can be established between conductance measurements and the physical treatment method used.

Aliaa M Elabd, Ahmed I Elerian, Salah-Eldin B Ahmed, Haytham M Elhafez, Ahmed F Geneidy, Ahmed Atteya Ashour, Omar M Elabd – Effect of Forward Head Posture Correction Added to Lumber Stabilization Exercises on Lumbopelvic Organization in Mechanical Low Back Pain Patients: A Randomized Clinical Trial. Fizjoterapia Polska 2020; 20(3); 132-140

Abstract
Background. Although current Lumbar Stabilization Exercises (LSEs) is beneficial for chronic mechanical low back pain (CMLBP), further research is recommended focusing on normalizing sagittal lumbopelvic alignment. Subjects with forward head posture (FHP) possibly have a problem with the regulation of static upright posture.
Purpose. This study was conducted to determine the effects of adding FHP correction to LSEs on pain, functions and lumbopelvic sagittal alignment in CMLBP patients.
Materials and Methods. Forty adult patients with CMLBP and FHP were assigned into one of two groups. Group A received FHP correction exercises in addition to LSEs for 12 weeks, while group B received only lumber stabilization for 12 weeks. The primary outcome was lumber lordosis (LL). Secondary outcomes included pain intensity, back specific physical functioning, cranio-vertebral angle (CVA), pelvic tilt (PT), pelvic incidence (PI), and sacral slope (SS). Patients were assessed pre and post treatment by an assessor blinded to the patients’ allocation. Reported data was analyzed by Mixed-model-MANOVA.
Results. MANOVA indicated a significant group-by-time interaction (P= 0.00, Partial η2= 0.65). LL, Pain, and SS were reduced in group A more than B. Physical function, CVA, and PT were increased in A when compared to B. There was no significant group-by-time interaction for PI. Within-group comparisons revealed significant differences for all measured variables in both groups except for CVA and PI in the control one.
Conclusion. The addition of FHP correction to LSEs for management of CMLBP seemed to positively affect pain, functioning, and lumbopelvic organization.
