“…The average GHS score for our CLBP patients was significantly lower than the average OQOL score, as was similarly reported in Polish patients. 41 More so, dissatisfaction with general health was common (more than two-thirds of our patients), while less than a tenth rated their QoL as poor. In an Austrian study, 20 though a similar disparity was observed between the two scores, health dissatisfaction was less common (about a quarter of their patients) than in our cohort.…”

ObjectiveTo evaluate health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and its determinants in chronic low back pain (CLBP) patients in Cameroon.DesignObservational cross-sectional study.SettingTertiary hospital.ParticipantsThere were 150 eligible adults with low back pain of at least 12 weeks who provided informed consent. Of these, 136 with complete questionnaires were analysed.OutcomesHRQoL was measured using the WHO Quality of Life questionnaire (WHOQOL-BREF). Outcome measures included its four domain (physical health, psychological, social relationships and environmental) scores and two independent scores for overall quality of life (OQOL) and general health satisfaction (GH).ResultsParticipants had a median age of 52 years, and median pain duration of 33 (IQR: 69) months. The median OQOL score was 50 (IQR: 25). After multivariable adjustment, tertiary education (β=11.43, 95% CI 3.12 to 19.75), age (β=0.49, 95% CI 0.12 to 0.87) and being a student (β=23.07, 95% CI 0.28 to 45.86) contributed to better OQOL. Age (β=0.57, 95% CI 0.10 to 1.04) and physical-type employment (β=−14.57, 95% CI −25.83 to −3.31) affected GH. Smoking (β=−20.49, 95% CI −35.49 to −5.48) and radiological anomalies (β=−7.57, 95% CI −14.64 to −0.49) affected the physical health domain, while disability (β=−0.67, 95% CI −1.14 to −0.20) and duration of pain (β=−0.13, 95% CI −0.20 to −0.05) affected the psychological domain. Income (β=14.94, 95% CI 4.06 to 25.81) affected the social domain, while education (β=9.96, 95% CI 1.41 to 18.50) and disability (β=−0.75, 95% CI −1.26 to −0.24) affected the environmental domain.ConclusionsOur findings suggest that CLBP affects HRQoL and multiple socioeconomic and clinical factors influence its impact on different domains of HRQoL. Multipronged management programmes, especially those that reduce disability, could improve HRQoL in patients with CLBP.

“…According to a study by Talaga et al, In a study involving 50 subjects, the aim was to investigate health problems in patients with degenerative spinal diseases as a major cause for worsening physical fitness and to determine the need for health education. Researchers have come to the conclusion that major health problems were cervical and lumbar pain in the spine that was experienced during prolonged physical activity during everyday life, quality of life decreased with increasing difficulties in performing daily activities, it is important to strengthen the patient’s belief that physical activity, including and physiotherapy, has a positive influence on physical ability and ability to perform daily activities, and the essential goal of the therapeutic team is to support and motivate patients to struggle with difficult situations and function in society ( 16 ).…”

Introduction:Osteoarthritis of the joints (osteoarthritis or arthritis) represents the largest group of rheumatic diseases. Within rheumatic diseases 50% are degenerative rheumatic diseases, 10% inflammatory and 40% extra-articular.Goal:To determine the modalities of physical therapy for elderly with degenerative diseases.Material and methods:The study is retrospective-prospective and descriptive. The survey conducted included 25 patients with degenerative diseases of the musculoskeletal and nervous systems in Gerontology Center in Sarajevo, from May 1, 2014- April 30, 2015. As research instruments were used: Questionnaire for users of physical therapy in Gerontology Center in Sarajevo, self-developed, visual-analog scale to assess pain and patient records.Results:Of the total number of patients with degenerative diseases (25), 10 (40%) were male and 15 (60%) were female. The most common degenerative disease is knee osteoarthritis which had 11 patients (29%), 3 males and 8 females. From physical therapy modalities in the treatment of degenerative diseases at the Gerontology Center in Sarajevo, kinetic therapy was administered to all patients, followed by manual massage and TENS in 15 cases (60%). From twenty-two patients, who completed a questionnaire, 11 (50%, 2 male and 9 female) rated their health as poor. Seven patients (32%, 3 male and 4 female) assessed their health as good. Three patients (14%, 2 male and 1 female) rated their health as very poor, and one patient (4%, 1 male) rated its health as very good.Conclusion:The Research Physical therapy in elderly with degenerative diseases is a pilot project, which highlights the need for: Conducting research for a longer time period, with a larger sample; Quality of keeping health records; Implementation of a continuous evaluation of functional status and; Stricter control for optimal effectiveness of physical therapy in order to improve the quality of life of elderly patients.

“…A decrease in walking ability can result from these spinal dysfunctions in combination or alone. Talaga et al [6] reported that 56 % of patients with degenerative spinal disorders have experienced difficulty in performing social activities and had psychological problems, such as a sense of inferiority (54 %) and feeling lonely (24 %). Thus, degenerative spinal disorders can affect not only ADL but also social participation of the elderly.…”

Spinal disorders are one of the most common causes of locomotive syndrome because the spine plays an important role as the locomotive organs which provide the three functions: body frames, junction sites, and motors/ regulators. Previous reports have shown that low back pain or leg pain and/or intermittent claudication due to spinal stenosis in lumbar spine disorders, gait abnormality due to degenerative cervical myelopathy in cervical spine disorders, and trunk imbalance due to adult spinal deformity have negative effects on walking speed, walking distance, and movement ability, thereby increasing the risk of falling. Patients for whom conservative managements have failed are considered for surgical treatment. However, degenerative changes on radiographical examinations are sometimes observed in asymptomatic elderly people, which suggests that degenerative changes are not always the cause of pain or disability in the elderly, particularly non-specific low back pain and neck pain. Therefore, the evidence is insufficient regarding how effective surgical treatments can be for improving walking and movement ability and social participation of elderly patients. In addition to better evidence for the efficacy of various treatments, more attention concerning checkups and prevention of locomotive syndrome are urgently needed in aging populations.
