Introduction. Exercises are important in the management of non-specific chronic low-back pain (NSCLBP). Aim. The study compared the effects of bridging and V-sitting exercises on pain and disability of patients with NSCLBP. Material and methods. 34 patients with NSCLBP recruited for the study were allocated into V-sitting (VSG) and Bridging Exercise group (BEG) equally. Participants in VSG and BEG groups performed V-sitting and bridging exercises respectively for 10 seconds, three times in a week for three weeks under a supervision of one of the authors. Each participants underwent ten sessions per a treatment regimen. Pain intensity and disability were assessed at the pre-intervention, second and third weeks using verbal rating scale and Rolland Morris Low Back Pain Disability Questionnaire prospectively. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics, alpha level was set at 0.05 Results. There was a significant reduction in the third week (P < 0.001) in both VSG and BEG group of pain intensity and disability comparing the pre intervention, second and third week values. There was a significant reduction in the 3rd week VSG’s pain intensity (F=27.34 P<0.001) and disability (F=14.96, P<0.001) compared with BEG. Conclusion. V-sitting and bridging exercises were effective in management of patients with NSCLP, but V-sitting seems more effective.

(Publishing Office of the University of Rzeszow, 2023-06) Fapojuwo, Oluseun Akinleye; Akodu, Ashiyat Kehinde; Ositelu, Adurayemi Esther
Introduction and aim. This study compared the efficacy of core stabilization (CSE) and trunk balance exercises (TBE) with flexibility training on pain-related disability (PRD), psychological status (PS) and fear avoidance belief (FAB) in patients with non-specific chronic low back pain (NSCLBP). Material and methods. Twenty-eight (28) participants diagnosed of NSCLBP were randomly assigned into CSE, TBE, and control groups (CG). Participants in CSE (n=10); TBE (n=8) and CG groups (n=10) received core stabilization exercise, trunk balance exercise and back care advice respectively. All participants received flexibility training in addition to treatment in their respective groups. Assessment of outcomes were done at baseline, end of 4 th and 8 th week. Results. There was significant improvement in all outcomes in the CSE, TBE and CG at 8 weeks; PRD (p=0.005, p=0.008, p=0.005), PS: depression (p=0.005, p=0.008, p=0.007); anxiety (p=0.005, p=0.007) and FAB about work (p=0.005, p=0.007, p=0.005); about physical activity (p=0.005, p=0.018, p=0.006). Comparison of outcomes between CSE and TBE groups showed no significant difference (p>0.05) Conclusion. Both CSE and TBE with flexibility training are effective in improving PRD, PS and FAB of patients with NSCLBP.
Non-specific low back pain – what does it exactly mean? A proposed redefinition and classification of the problem
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2017) Małecki, Jacek
Introduction. Analysis of the medical literature shows that non-specific low back pain is a multifaceted affliction. Determining the unequivocal definition and classification of the ailment could be somewhat difficult. The following review presents a multiplicity of common low back pain nuances. The paper also shows necessity of unification of the definition and clarification, for placing non-specific low back pain among other musculoskeletal disorders. Aim. The author will attempt to provide the answers to basic questions about non-specific low back pain. In its form, the paper will have similarities to the prospect study with narrative review features. Although the reader should remember that the article is neither a result of expert team efforts nor non-specific low back pain leading authority opinion. Therefore the suggestions should be interpreted with necessary distance and scientific scepticism. Material and methods. Proper publications were searched in PubMed and EBSCO scientific articles databases, using terms: ‘nonspecific low back pain’ or ‘non-specific low back pain’, ‘definition’, ‘diagnostic triage’, and ‘classification’ in different combinations. Results. As a result of the review, subtle correction of the current non-specific low back pain definition has been proposed. Acknowledgments. The author of this review wishes to show his appreciation to Prof. Edward Saulicz, the promotor and mentor for didactic support, methodologic and merythoric advice, and for manuscript correction. Thanks also extended to colleague Łukasz Sejboth, master of physiotherapy, for help with appropriate references and motivation to scientific exploration with his unassailable attitude and professionalism. Furthermore, author would like to acknowledge Keith Littlewood for his kind and valid amendments in the English version of the manuscript.
The health status and quality of life of veterans
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2016) Muzalewska, Małgorzata; Truszczyńska, Aleksandra; Drzał-Grabiec, Justyna
Introduction. Military operations are associated with high health risks, and loss of life. The aim of this study was to analyze the influence of military missions on quality of life, health, family and social situation of Polish veterans. An additional aim was to examine how often they suffered from injuries, as well as their subjective evaluation of physiotherapy after returning to the country. Material and methods. The study involved 60 people: in the study group there were 30 soldiers - veterans (28 men and 2 women) and in control group there were 30 soldiers, who had not participated in missions (28 men and 2 women). The age of the group of veterans was 22 to 58 years, mean age 33.45 ± 11.04 years. The age of the control group was 43 to 21 years, mean 25.10 ± 4.41 years. The test was performed with the use of authors’ own surveys and with two questionnaires: Rolland-Morris and WHOQOL Bref. Results. The reasons that motivated the soldiers to go on a mission was mainly their desire to improve their financial situation and to take the opportunity to gain experience. Injuries were experienced by 10 soldiers (33%) soldiers. Soldiers’ physical activity, fitness, quality of life and health deteriorated after mission. Return to the home country was related to changes in the psychosocial environment. Conclusions. 1. Participation in military missions contributed to negative changes in behavior of soldiers and in relationships with relatives and strangers. 2. Despite these, the veterans evaluated their the quality of life and health as well.
