Abstract:
Background and Aim
Being prone to Low Back Pain (LBP) is a concept in the field of back pain prevention. In this context, it is necessary to identify the differentiating factors of people prone to back pain who are currently without symptoms, but have the potential to develop back pain. Therefore, this study aimed to compare postural sway and duration of the stance phase of gait between female low back pain developers and non-pain developers.
Methods
Purposefully and based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 33 females In the age range of 18 to 30 years participated in the study. Participants assigned to two groups of pain developers (n=15) and non- pain developers (n=18) according to the results of the active hip abduction test and prolonged standing protocol. The Biodex Balance System and the foot medisense device were used to measure the postural sway and the duration of the stance phase of gait. Mann–Whitney U test was conducted to compare the groups (P≤ 0.05).
Results
The results showed that there is no significant difference in duration of the stance phase of gait and postural sway (P> 0/05).
Conclusion
According to the results of the research, it seems that postural sway and duration of the stance phase of gait are not different in low back pain developers and non-pain developers, and the measurement of these two factors before the prolonged standing protocol and in the absence of pain cannot help us identify pain developers.
