Low Back Pain and Motor Control in Soccer Players
- Conditions
- Chronic Low-back Pain
- Registration Number
- NCT05934201
- Lead Sponsor
- Hacettepe University
- Brief Summary
Identification of the effects of low back pain and motor control influence on soccer players performance.
- Detailed Description
At least 60 volunteer athletes who playing soccer at least 3 years, not away from field more than 2 weeks, 16 years and older are planned to include this study. All participating athletes in this study will be signed an informed consent form then their demographic information will be recorded. To evaluate disability due to low back pain, musculoskeletal problems and the willingness to participate in sports will be used the Oswestry Disability index, the Nordic Musculoskeletal System questionnaire and the Sport Motivation Scale-2, respectively. The motor control levels of the athletes will be assessed with the motor control test battery (MKTB), the core stability with the Sahrmann's core stability test, core muscles endurance with the sport-specific endurance plank test and side bridge endurance test, the static balance with the stand stork test, the dynamic balance with the lower quadrant y balance test, postural changes with the Corbin Posture Rating Scale, the agility with the T test, speed and coordination with 4-10 shuttle run test, explosive force with long jump test, the kinetic chain with the functional movement screen.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Dynamic balance baseline Lower quadrant y balance test
Agility baseline T test
Core stability baseline Sharmann's core stability test
Explosive power baseline Standing long jump test
Kinetic chain baseline Functional movement screen
Core muscles endurance baseline Sport-specific endurance plank test, right and left side bridge endurance test
Speed and coordination baseline 4-10 Shuttle run test
Motor control disorder baseline Motor control test battery: the test consists of ten different tests (forward bend, return from forward bend, sitting forward lean,sitting knee extension, pelvic tilt, one leg stance,side bending, rocking forward, prone knee flexion, hip abduction).Whether the total score increases, the motor control disorders increase.
Static balance baseline Stand Stork test
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Nordic Musculoskeletal System Questionnaire baseline Evaluates the musculoskeletal system problem. If the athlete indicate a musculoskeletal problem different than low back pain, it will use for screening.
Oswestry Disability Index baseline Evaluate disability due to low back pain. the index measures perceived low back pain related dysfunction. Whether the total score increaeses, the dyscfunction increases.
Postural changes baseline Corbin Posture Rating Scale. Whether the total score increaeses, thepostural problems increases.
Sport Motivation Scale-2 baseline Evaluates willingness to participate in sports. The scale has 6 subparameters indicating sport motivation levels is high or low.
