“…Thakkar HH et al suggests that reduced back muscle strength and coordination contributes to decrease postural control and balance in patients with chronic low back pain [23] . Supporting the result of our study, Bezgin S et al Reported significant relationship between trunk extensor endurance and functional balance in participants with chronic low back pain [18] . In contrast to this result, Behennah J et al, reported there were no significant correlations between trunk extensor endurance and dynamic balance in either the participants with chronic low back pain or the asymptomatic participants [24] .…”

Background: The evaluation of causes and consequences of non-specific low back pain along with related symptoms are critical in terms of planning the treatments of patients. Muscular imbalance can cause postural impairment and reduced functional performance in individuals with low back pain. Therefore, determining the role of trunk muscular endurance in individuals with non-specific low back pain and its reflections on dynamic postural control and functional performance are very important for both patients and physiotherapists in terms of establishing an effective treatment program. Methodology: 39 participants with non-specific LBP aged between 18-50 years were included in this study. Biering-Sorensen test, Y-balance test and 5 min walk test were the outcome measures used to evaluate trunk extensor endurance, dynamic postural control and functional performance. Result: Using Karl Pearson's Correlation coefficient, strong positive correlation was observed between trunk extensor endurance and 5-minute walk test, and between trunk extensor endurance and Y-balance test, which was found to be highly statistically significant. Conclusion:This study concludes that there is a strong positive correlation exist between trunk extensor endurance and dynamic postural control, and also between trunk extensor endurance and functional performance in patients with non-specific low back pain.

“…Our results are similar to the findings of Abdelraouf and Abdel-Aziem ( 2016 ) and Correia et al ( 2016 ), who report that poor abdominal endurance is associated with LBP in collegiate male athletes and tennis players, respectively. Bezgin et al ( 2020 ) found a significant relationship between balance, trunk muscular endurance and functional level in individuals with CLBP. Moreover, Da Silva et al ( 2015 ) conclude that individuals with nonspecific LBP presented with significant lumbar musculature fatigue compared with people without nonspecific LBP, both in younger and older adults.…”

Background: Chronic low back pain (CLBP) is an increasing burden worldwide. The biopsychosocial factors associated with CLBP-related activity limitations have not yet been investigated in Burundi.Objective: The aim of our study was to investigate the biopsychosocial factors that influence the CLBP-related activity limitations in a Burundian sample population.Method: We carried out a cross-sectional study of 58 adults with nonspecific CLBP from Bujumbura city. Univariate and bivariate analyses were used to investigate the association between biopsychosocial factors and CLBP activity limitations. Sequential multiple regression analyses were subsequently used to predict CLBP activity limitations.Results: Fifty-eight individuals with a mean age of 41.3 ± 10.20, 58.6% of female gender, were recruited. The univariate and bivariate analyses demonstrated that educational level, gender, healthcare coverage, profession, height, pain intensity, depression and physical fitness were significantly associated with CLBP-related activity limitations (p range, 0.001 to 0.05). The multivariate regression analysis showed that the significant biopsychosocial factors accounted for 49% of the variance in self-reported activity limitations. Predictors of activity limitations were education level (β = −0.369; p = 0.001), abdominal muscle endurance (β = −0.339; p = 0.002) and depression (β = 0.289; p = 0.011).Conclusions: Our study provides evidence of biopsychosocial factor associations with CLBP-related activity limitations in Burundi. Evidence-based management and prevention of CLBP in Burundi should incorporate a biopsychosocial model.Clinical implications: Biopsychosocial factors should be regularly evaluated in people with chronic low back pain and efforts to improve the burden of chronic low back pain in Burundi should take these factors into account.

Background: Researchers are focusing on understanding the etiology and predisposing factors of chronic nonspecific low back pain (CNSLBP), a costly prevalent and disabling disorder. Related clinical, functional, and biomechanical variables are often studied, but in isolation. We aimed to identify key factors for managing CNSLBP by examining the relationship between back disability and related clinical, functional, and biomechanical variables and developed prediction models to estimate disability using various variables. Methods: We performed a cross-sectional correlational study on 100 recruited patients with CNSLBP. Clinical variables of pain intensity (visual analog score), back extensor endurance (Sorenson test), functional variables of the back performance scale, 6 min walk test, and the biomechanical variable C7-S1 sagittal vertical axis were analyzed to predict disability (Oswestry disability index). Results: All variables independently, as well as in multi-correlation, were significantly correlated to disability (p < 0.05). The bivariate regression models were significant between back disability and pain intensity (Y = 11.24 + 2.189x), Sorensen results (Y = 105.48 − 0.911x), the back performance scale (Y = 6.65 + 2.486x), 6 min walk test (Y = 49.20 − 0.060x), and sagittal vertical axis (Y = 0.72 + 4.23x). The multi-regression model showed significant contributions from pain (p = 0.001) and Sorensen results (p = 0.028) in predicting back disability, whereas no significant effect was found for other variables. Conclusions: A multidisciplinary approach is essential not only for the management of but also for the assessment of chronic nonspecific low back pain, including its clinical, functional, and biomechanical characteristics. However, special emphasis should be placed on clinical characteristics, including the intensity of pain and back extensor endurance.
