Acute Effect of Isometric Excercise on Pain Sensitivity in Adults With Chronic Low Back Pain

Обзор

Randomized control trial to examine the immediate effect of isometric exercise on pressure pain threshold (PPT) in adults with chronic low back pain. The secondary aim of this study was to investigate the acute effects of isometric exercise on clinical pain intensity.

Подробное описание

Participants will attend a single visit to the hospital for two hours, which will include collecting demographic details and clinical characteristics through self-reported assessment scales. After that, outcome measures (pain sensitivity and current low back pain intensity) were collected prior to the intervention and repeated immediately post-intervention.

Вмешательства

• Другое Multiple repetition isometric wall squat
  Participants were directed to rest their backs against the wall with shoulder width apart and feet parallel, then descend until they achieve an angle of 100 degrees at knee joint. The knee joint angle was assessed using a goniometer placed on the lateral epicondyle of the knee, aligned with the femur, while the anchor arm was aligned with the lateral malleolus. They were instructed to maintain the isometric hold for up to three minutes, or until volitional fatigue was reached.with a 30-second re

• Другое Control quiet seated rest
  The control group served as the control group and did not perform any exercise. Participants were instructed to sit quietly in a standard height stationary clinical room patient chair for the entire eight minutes.
