研究概览
简要总结
The purpose of this study is to understand how different physical therapy interventions affect the use of certain abdominal muscles in patients with low back pain.
详细描述
Patients with low back pain will undergo ultrasound imaging of the lateral abdominal wall to measure resting and contracted thickness of the transversus abdominis muscle. Following the pre-intervention measurement, patients will receive one of two physical therapy interventions (side lying thrust joint manipulation or side lying non-thrust oscillations into slight rotation) which will have been randomly assigned. Immediately after intervention, ultrasound imaging will be repeated on the resting and contracted thickness of the transversus abdominis.

研究组 & 干预措施
Lumbar manipulation
Patients will receive thrust joint manipulation to their lumbar spine in side lying
干预措施: Lumbar Manipulation (Other)
Sham manipulation
Patients will receive oscillations into slight rotation, without cavitation, in side lying
干预措施: Sham manipulation (Other)
结局指标
主要结局
Transversus abdominis thickness change
时间窗: Baseline to immediately after the intervention (within 5 minutes)
Measurement of change in thickness from resting to contraction will be compared at baseline (pre-intervention) to immediately following the intervention (post-intervention). The study is looking at the immediate effects so there is no short-term or longer term follow up.
次要结局
- Numeric Pain Rating Scale(Baseline to immediately after the intervention (within 5 minutes))
