Abstract: (702 Views)
Background and Objectives: Chronic non-specific low back pain (CNSLBP) is a common health issue caused by a mix of biological, psychological, and social factors. Cognitive functional therapy (CFT) is a multidimensional approach that considers the interaction between motor control and psychological factors as an important part of the rehabilitation protocol. The aim of the present study was determining the effect of cognitive functional therapy on gait parameters and psychological variables in women with CNSLBP.
Materials and Methods: This clinical trial was carried out at the University of Bu-Ali Sina in 2022. Forty women with CNSLBP were selected by convenience sampling method and randomly assigned into experimental and control groups (20 people in each group). The experimental group performed CFT exercises for 8 weeks, while the control group did not receive any intervention. The primary outcome included pain, disability, and kensiophobia (fear of movement) and the secondary outcome was vertical ground reaction force (VGRF) parameters. Data was analyzed using multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA).
Results: The covariance results showed that the CFT intervention had a significant effect in the experimental group compared to the control group in reducing pain, disability, and kinesiophobia (p<0.001). Also, CFT intervention had a significant effect on improving gait kinetics (p<0.001).
Conclusion: Cognitive functional therapy reduced pain, disability, and kinesiophobia. In addition, some modifications in gait kinetics were observed in people with non-specific chronic back pain. Cognitive functional therapy appears to be an appropriate and applicable treatment in clinical setting.
Keywords: Chronic non-specific low back pain, Cognitive functional therapy, Gait kinetics, Kinesiophobia
Funding: This study did not have any funds.
Conflict of interest: None declared.
Ethical Considerations: The Ethics Committee of Bu-Ali Sina University approved the study (IR.BASU.REC.1401.026).
