Abstract: (1286 Views)
Background and Objectives: The localized and referral pain of lumbar disc herniation can lead to compensatory strategies to reduce perceptual pain. The purpose of this study was to determine the foot pressure distribution pattern, symmetry index, and center of pressure sways in people with and without low back pain due to lumbar disc herniation.
Materials and Methods: The present descriptive study was performed in Razi University Sports Rehabilitation Laboratory in 2019, Iran. Thirty-four people were purposefully divided into two groups: low back pain due to disc herniation (n=17) and healthy (n=17). Study variables were evaluated by PT scan. The indexes of anterior-posterior sways (SDy), medial-lateral sways (SDx), sways velocity, the center of pressure path length, sway area, length of the minor axis, length of the major axis, and symmetry index (SI) were evaluated during quiet stance. Independent t-test was used to compare the means across the two groups.
Results: The results of this study showed a significant increase in the center of pressure path length (p=0.001), sways velocity (p=0.001), and SDy (p=0.001), and a significant decrease in SI (p=0.001) in the lumbar disc herniation group compared to the control.
Conclusion: According to the findings of the study, people with lumbar disc herniation have a unilateral plantar pressure distribution that can be a result of delayed muscles activation of the spine due to the pain and can cause knee and ankle joints injuries. As a result, using neuromuscular exercises, with the aim of timely activation of spinal stabilizers, is a good way to reduce subsequent injuries.
Key words: Lumbar disc herniation, Foot pressure distribution, Center of pressure sways
Funding: This study did not have any funds.
Conflict of interest: None declared.
