Oxygenation of Paravertebral Muscles During Exercise in Chronic Low Back Pain Patients

Not Applicable
Conditions
Rehabilitation Program
Low Back Pain
Muscular Weakness
Interventions
Other: Physical rehabilitation program
Registration Number
NCT03055182
Lead Sponsor
University Hospital, Lille
Brief Summary

The study evaluate paraspinal aerobic metabolism of chronic low back pain patients and healthy people during an original and standardized isokinetic protocol.

The aim of this study is to determine a potential alteration of muscular aerobic metabolism in low back pain patients, in order to establish the underlying cause of pain and muscular fatigability characterizing low back pain patients. Then, the aim is to determine if functional rehabilitation program can improve it.

the unit of care have access to metabolic adaptations in measuring the muscular oxygenation and the pulmonary oxygen consumption, using near infrared spectroscopy and gas analyser.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Deoxyhemoglobin20 minutes

Expressed in arbitrary unit, at rest and during the isokinetic exercises (2 exercises of 5 minutes)

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Oxygen consumption20 minutes

Measured in mL/min/kg, at rest and during the isokinetic exercises (2 exercises of 5 minutes)

Work rate10 minutes

Total work measured by the dynamometer in Joules during each exercises

Rate of perceived exertion10 minutes

Bases on the Borg's Scale, evaluating the perceived exertion on a scale from 6 to 20

Pain10 minutes

Bases on a visual analogic scale evaluating the pain on a scale from 0 to 10

Muscular blood volume20 minutes

Expressed in arbitrary unit, at rest and during the isokinetic exercises (2 exercises of 5 minutes)

Sorensen test20 minutes

test is a timed measure used to assess the endurance of the trunk extensor muscles. It is used to assist in the prediction of the incidence and occurrence of low back pain in patients.
