High-Density Electromyography Provides New Insights into the Flexion Relaxation Phenomenon in Individuals with Low Back Pain
Carlos Murillo,Eduardo Martinez-Valdes,Nicola R Heneghan,Bernard X.W. Liew,Alison Rushton,Andy Sanderson,Deborah Falla +6 more
TL;DR: This study provides novel insights into changes in lumbar muscle behavior in individuals with LBP by using high-density electromyography to investigate the flexion relaxation phenomenon (FRP).
Journal ArticleDOI
Clinical education: a critical analysis using soft systems methodology
Alison Rushton,Geoff Lindsay +1 more
TL;DR: The analysis identified a paucity of good quality research, with both theory–practice and literature–practice gaps in existence and the necessity for change, and the need to develop theory and research.
Pain and disability after first-time spinal fusion for lumbar degenerative disorders: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Niek Koenders,Alison Rushton,Martin L. Verra,Paul C. Willems,Thomas J. Hoogeboom,J.B. Staal,J.B. Staal +6 more
TL;DR: Lumbar spinal fusion (LSF) is frequently and increasingly used in lumbar degenerative disorders despite conflicting results and recommendations as discussed by the authors, however, it is not suitable for all patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
People With Low Back Pain Display a Different Distribution of Erector Spinae Activity During a Singular Mono-Planar Lifting Task
Andy Sanderson,Corrado Cescon,Nicola R Heneghan,P. Kuithan,Eduardo Martinez-Valdes,Alison Rushton,Marco Barbero,Deborah Falla +7 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that participants with LBP utilize an altered motor control strategy to complete a singular lifting task which is not reflected in their movement strategy, and may have relevance for the persistence of LBP symptoms and the development of new treatments focussing on muscle retraining in LBP.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diagnostic utility of patient history, clinical examination and screening tool data to identify neuropathic pain in low back related leg pain: a systematic review and narrative synthesis
TL;DR: Overall low-moderate level evidence supports the diagnostic utility of patient history, clinical examination and screening tool data to identify NP in LBLP, while the weak evidence base is largely due to methodological flaws and indirectness regarding applicability of the included studies.
