简要总结
The main goal of this study is to get to know if applying both, massotherapy plus hypopressive abdominal gymnastics (H.A.G) will reduce the pain of chronic non-specific low back pain. It actually reduces the inability produced by the pain and improve the patient's quality of life as well as the join range of the lumbar spine, way more than these two therapies applied separately.
详细描述
Background:
Back pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal disorders in the industrialized society. It is estimated to affect between 70 to 85% of the adult population over their live. The impact of low back pain is widespread in developed countries, and accounts the major spending in economic and health resources, as well as being associated with the leading causes of absenteeism and disability. Diagnosis, in most cases, nonspecific low back pain, the symptoms have no clear cause, so that the source of pain is unknown. In general, a significant percentage progresses to chronic back pain and is accompanied by a limitation of physical activity influenced by improper posture or movement patterns.
Objectives:
To assess the effectiveness of massage therapy and hypopressive abdominal gymnastics, and the combination of both therapeutic modalities, to decrease pain and lumbar disability; and increasing joint mobility and quality of life in patients with chronic nonspecific low back pain.
