Is there a relationship between pain intensity and postural sway in patients with non-specific low back pain?
TLDR
COP mean velocity and sway area are closely related to self-reported pain scores and may be of clinical use as an objective monitoring tool for patients under treatment or rehabilitation.Abstract:
Increased center of pressure excursions are well documented in patients suffering from non-specific low back pain, whereby the altered postural sway includes both higher mean sway velocities and larger sway area. No investigation has been conducted to evaluate a relationship between pain intensity and postural sway in adults (aged 50 or less) with non-specific low back pain. Seventy-seven patients with non-specific low back pain and a matching number of healthy controls were enrolled. Center of pressure parameters were measured by three static bipedal standing tasks of 90 sec duration with eyes closed in narrow stance on a firm surface. The perceived pain intensity was assessed by a numeric rating scale (NRS-11), an equal number of patients (n = 11) was enrolled per pain score. Generally, our results confirmed increased postural instability in pain sufferers compared to healthy controls. In addition, regression analysis revealed a significant and linear increase in postural sway with higher pain ratings for all included COP parameters. Statistically significant changes in mean sway velocity in antero-posterior and medio-lateral direction and sway area were reached with an incremental change in NRS scores of two to three points. COP mean velocity and sway area are closely related to self-reported pain scores. This relationship may be of clinical use as an objective monitoring tool for patients under treatment or rehabilitation.read more

TL;DR: Subacute NSLBP patients with LI showed greater impairment in balance control than patients without LI, and reduced proprioceptive sense, increased pain, functional disability, and fear of movement were fairly related to impaired balance.

TL;DR: In this review, the basics of classic reliability theory are addressed in the context of choosing and interpreting an ICC and how the SEM and its variants can be used to construct confidence intervals for individual scores and to determine the minimal difference needed to be exhibited for one to be confident that a true change in performance of an individual has occurred.

TL;DR: The results indicate that, for the present sample, the scales yield similar results in terms of the number of subjects who respond correctly to them and their predictive validity, however, when considering the remaining 3 criteria, the 101‐point numerical rating scale appears to be the most practical index.
