“…The ICC reported in the present study for the Tswana version of the RMDQ of 0.93 was higher than those reported in previous studies which used the same 24 hour retest interval, Persian (0.86) (31 subjects reteted) (Mousavi et al, 2006), German (0.82) (20 subjects retested) (Wiesinger et al, 1999 (Fayers & Machin, 2000). These results show the high agreement between all the questionnaires' measurements recorded on two occasions over a 24 hour period.…”

“…The correlation between the Tswana version of the RMDQ and the VAS pain scale was 0.63 which is higher than the Persian 2006) argue that although the association between LBP disability scales and pain rating scales is expected to be good, it should not be very high, otherwise it would suggest that the two instruments are carrying identical information. In this study, the Cronbach's alpha for the Tswana version of the QDS of 0.95 was higher than the Tswana RMDQ and WDI and similar to the alpha coefficient reported by the developers of the scale (0.96) (Kopec et al, 1995) and the Persian version (0.92) (Mousavi et al, 2006) of the QDS. The Cronbach's alpha of the Tswana version of the WDI was 0.75, which is similar to the coefficient previously reported by Davidson & Keating (2002).…”

Abstract.[Purpose] The present study examined how exercise rehabilitation, extension exercise rehabilitation, and stabilization exercise rehabilitation programs for 8 weeks affected the lumbar region of elderly patients who underwent posterior lumbar interbody fusion surgery.[Methods] Sixty participants were divided into 3 groups. The participants' lumbar extensor muscle strength was evaluated at 7 angles (72°, 60°, 48°, 36°, 24°, 12°, and 0°) from flexion to extension by MedX after 8 weeks; and pain, disability, and maximum muscle strength were also measured.[Results] Extension exercise rehabilitation significantly decreased disability compared with the other exercise methods. On the other hand, stabilization exercise rehabilitation significantly increased lumbar deep muscle strength and endurance compared with the other exercise methods. When strength was compared using MedX, extension exercise rehabilitation increased strength significantly more than the other methods at the lumbar flexion angles of 12° and 0°.[Conclusion] The three exercise programs decreased pain and disability, and increased lumbar deep muscle strength of the posterior lumbar interbody fusion patients. Therefore, these methods help patients attain pain-free lives.

Sexual function and associated factors in Iranian patients with chronic low back pain

Study design: Case-control study. Objectives: (i) To describe the prevalence of sexual dysfunction in chronic low back pain (CLBP) patients, (ii) to compare the range of sexual function outcomes between patients with CLBP and healthy controls and (iii) to investigate which factors are associated with sexual function within the cohort of individuals with CLBP. Setting: Low back pain (LBP) clinic of Qazvin University of Medical Sciences, Qazvin, Iran. Methods: A total of 702 patients with CLBP and 888 healthy controls participated in the study. The Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI), International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF) and Premature Ejaculation Diagnostic Tool (PEDT) were used to evaluate sexual function. In addition, quality of life, anxiety, functional status and pain intensity were assessed in patients. Univariate and multiple linear regression analyses were performed for the identification of factors associated with sexual function. Results: The prevalence of sexual problems in female patients with CLBP was 71.1% (n ¼ 177) while the corresponding figure for healthy women was 36.8% (n ¼ 161). Erectile dysfunction was present in 59.5% of male patients and in 24.5% of healthy males. Higher sexual function in both male and female patients with CLBP were being younger, lower duration of back pain, lower BMI, higher education level, being unemployed, physically active shorter sick leave, lower level of pain intensity, lower disability, higher family income, lower levels of depressive and anxiety symptoms, and higher psychical functioning and mental functioning. Conclusions: CLBP patients report considerably higher prevalences of sexual problems compared with healthy controls. Sex therapy and sexual management should be added to routine care and treatment of patients with CLBP.

The Oswestry Disability Index, the Roland-Morris Disability Questionnaire, and the Quebec Back Pain Disability Scale: Translation and Validation Studies of the Iranian Versions

Abstract: The Persian versions of the ODI, RDQ, and QDS are reliable and valid instruments to measure functional status in Persian-speaking patients with LBP. They are simple and fast scales, and the use of them can be recommended in a clinical setting and future outcome studies in Iran.
