Veysel Akduman Eren Timurtaş Emel Mete Mert Kartal Aysel Yıldız

Objectives : The aim of this study is to determine in the young people whether the physical activity level affects the low back pain or not. Method: The cross-sectional study included with 260 students (131 females and 129 males). Low back pain (LBP) was determined with the validated Oswestry Disability Index (ODI). The Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) consist of ten items and are completed in reference to the patient’s functional status ‘today’. Physical activity level was evaluated by the short form of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) that is a scale to be recorded at different levels of physical activity in the last week. Results : There was found a negative weak correlation between the ODI and total score of IPAQ (r = - 0,142; p = 0,01). Male’s total physical activity level was higher than women, while Oswestry score was significantly lower than women (p 0,05). Conclusion : According to the study results, it was understood that increasing the level of physical activity in young people is effective in preventing low back pain. We consider that the awareness of young people must be raised with regard to the increasing their physical activity levels. We hope to conduct a study that will examine the relationship between physical activity and low back pain in all age groups in consideration of socioeconomic characteristics and other parameters that may affect low back pain.

Background

Back pain is a major global health problem, causing greater disability worldwide than any other condition. Regular physical activity is widely believed to have important health benefits, such as improving quality of life and mobility, and reducing disabilities. Conversely, lack of physical activity is considered a risk factor for increasing chronic diseases, functional dependence and mortality. Patients with low back pain (LBP) often report disability to perform daily activities. Also, decreased physical activity level can lead to low back pain.

Objectives

The aim of the study was to determinewhether increasing the level of physical activity affects the low back pain or not in the population of univesity students.

Methods

The cross-sectional study included 350 students (181 females and 169 males) with a mean age of 19.8±1.9 years. LBP was determined using the validated Oswestry Disability Index (ODI). ODI consist of ten items and are completed in reference to the patient9s functional status "today". Physical activity level was evaluated by the short form of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). IPAQ is a scale to be recorded at different levels of physical activity time in the last week. IPAQ is a scale to be recorded at different levels of physical activity time in the last week. Individuals whose score is lower than 600 MET are described as inactive (IPAQ 1), between 600–1500 MET (IPAQ 3) are described as minimal active and higher than 3000 MET (IPAQ 5)are described as active. For the statistical analyzing we used spearman correlation test.

Results

According to the short form of IPAQ, %14.8 percent of students were found inactive, % 48.1 percent of students were found minimal inactive and %37.1 percent of students were found active. The total score of Oswestry disability index was found 6,2±5,0. There was a significant difference between the Oswestry disability index score of inactive, minimally active and active groups (p=0,02). In addition to this, between the Oswestry disability index and total score of IPAQ was found a weak correlation in the negative direction (p=0,01; r=-0,184). Between the IPAQwhich means vigorous intensity activity, and Oswestry disability index was found a weak correlation in the negative direction (p=0,00; r=-0,190). And also between IPAQ3, which means modarate intensity activity, and Oswestry disability index was found a significant but weak correlation in the negative direction (p=0,03; r=-0,157). Between Oswestry disability index and sedentary activity and walking was not found any significant correlation (p>0.005).

Conclusions

According to our study, increasing the level of physical activity may reduce low back pain. Especially vigorous and modarate intensity activity can be effective in prevention from low back pain. For reducing of low back pain, sedentary activity and walking did not have any significant effect in our study. Therefore, the level of physical activity should be increased at the young age to prevent of low back pain which is a major health problem.

Is There a Relationship Between Physical Activity Level and Core Endurance?

Kocaeli Üniversitesi Sağlık Bilimleri Dergisi (2019)

Veysel Akduman Zeliha GÖCEN ÖZAY Zübeyir Sarı Mi̇ne Gülden Polat

Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between core endurance and physical activity level in healthy young adults. Methods: This study was conducted with 310 university students [male=154 (49.7%) and female=156 (50.3%)] aged between 17 and 28 who attended Dokuz Eylul University. A sociodemographic data form was filled by all participants. Physical activity levels of the students were evaluated using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). Core endurance was measured using anterior and right/left plank tests.Results: The average anterior plank test period of the participants was 77.0±43.8 sec. and the average lateral plank test period was 43.9±28.0 sec. We found that 14.8% (n=46) of the participants were inactive, 48.1% (n=149) were minimally active, and 37.1% (n=115) were very active, according to the IPAQ. According to the IPAQ data, vigorous physical activity, moderate physical activity, and walking variables in male participants were significantly higher than female participants (p<0.05). Plank test periods (anterior and lateral) of participant which have vigorous and moderate physical activity was significantly higher (p<0.05).Conclusion: There was no statistically significant relationship between core endurance and physical activity level. According to this study, physical activity is not influenced by core endurance. Particularly, in order to protect or increase the endurance of the core muscles, which have an important role in the prevention of mechanical lumbar problems, it was thought that only physical exercises would not be sufficient and it should be performed special exercises for these muscles.

SAT0586 Relationship between core stabilization and low back pain in young people

Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases (2017)

Emel Mete Veysel Akduman İlkşan Demırbüken Gül ÖĞREN

Background

Low Back Pain (LBP) is a very common health problem that affects people of all ages. It has been observed that the increase in lumbar stabilization is effective in reducing back pain risk. A combination of local and global stability system is used to describe to core stability which is a key factor for enhancing lumbar stabilization. Exercise training focused on these groups of muscles could contribute to pain alleviation and spinal functional improvement.

Objectives

The aim of the study was to define relationship between core stabilization and low back pain in young people who were suffering from low back pain.

Methods

290 individuals (144 male, 146 female), between 18 and 25 years of age were included in this study. Disability arising from low back pain was identified by using the Oswestry disability index, consisting of 10 questions with 6 choices (0–5 points for each question). The higher score is associated with more low back pain. The period of core stabilization was determined using Plank test in which the body is stand flat from shoulder to heels on foot and forearm and Side Plank test in which sitting on the forearm and standing on one side of the body with the legs parallel and the feet perpendicular and the body is held flat from the shoulder to the heels. The duration of ability to maintain Plank test was measured by a chronometer. Spearman correlation test used for statistical analyzing.

Results

In this study, the average of Plank test duration was 76.9±44.2 (sec), while the mean of the Side Plank test duration was 43.9±28.2 (sec) and Oswestry disability index total score was 6.3±5.5. A weak negative correlation was found between the Plank test and the Oswestry disability index (p=0,03; r =-0,111). And negatively correlated between the Side Plank and the Oswestry disability index (p>0.05). On the other hand, there was a positively modarate correlation between the Plank test and the Side Plank test (p=0,00; r =0,656). There was a weak negative correlation between age and Oswestry disability index (p=0,014; r =- 0,151).

Conclusions

Results of the study indicated that increasing the duration of stabilization reduces the low back pain. For this reason, core muscles deserve a great deal of interest in order to reduce the problem of low back pain which is common among young population.

EVALUATION OF THE EFFECT OF BOBATH THERAPY ON SPASTICITY IN CHILDREN WITH CEREBRAL PALSY USING SUBJECTIVE AND OBJECTIVE METHODS

GOBEKLITEPE Saglik Bilimleri Dergisi (2022)

Veysel Akduman Zübeyir Sarı Onur Aydoğdu

The positive effects of Bobath therapy on spasticity are known, but studies using objective data tools that can evaluate these positive effects are limited. The purpose of this study is to examine the changes in lower extremity muscle tone and viscoelastic properties of children with spastic cerebral palsy who received Bobath therapy. Thirty-three children with CP, aged between 5 and 15 (18 girls, 15 boys) years were included in the study. Based on the evaluation parameters, initial evaluations were conducted using the Modified Ashworth Scale and Myoton®PRO Digital Palpation Device, and all children continued to receive neurodevelopmental therapy (NGT) twice a week for six weeks following the initial evaluation. Muscle tone was measured with Modified Ashworth Scale, and muscle tone, stiffness, and elasticity levels were measured with Myoton®PRO Digital Palpation Device. According to the results of this study, it has been determined that the sensitivity of the MyotonPRO digital palpation device is higher and more reliable than MAS in evaluating spasticity in patients with cerebral palsy. Therefore, it is recommended to use MyotonPRO digital palpation device, which is more objective and reliable in evaluating spasticity in children with cerebral palsy in future studies.
