Instrumenttiavusteisen versus ääniavusteisen pehmytkudoksen mobilisaation terapeuttiset vaikutukset kroonisessa epäspesifisessä alaselkäkivussa (IASTM VS SASTM)
Instrumenttisesti avustetun versus äänellisesti avustetun pehmytkudosmobilisaation terapeuttiset vaikutukset kroonisen epäspesifisen alaselkäkivun omaavilla potilailla
Chronic low back pain (CLBP) is the most common medical problem observed among musculoskeletal pain and spinal pain problems. It can reduce the movements due to muscular imbalances, decreased activity of daily living, and effects on health-related quality of life. It is the major cause of activity limitation, work absence, and reported clinical issues. Most of the cases of low back pain remained undiagnosed and received only symptomatic management.

Yksityiskohtainen kuvaus
There is limited literature on advanced soft tissue release techniques provided by primary healthcare practitioners specific to low back pain. Some of the studies are based on soft tissue mobilization using a mechanically assisted method, but they have limited outcomes, acute effects, and small sample sizes, which limit their generalization. Further literature is limited in the comparison of IASTM and SASTM. Further, there are limited techniques that can facilitate practitioners to identify the restrictions.
Firstly, instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM), due to its body contour and shape, recognizes specific tissue lesions and restriction sites while targeting specific points rather than using manual methods that cover a larger contact area. Using the mechanotransduction phenomenon, its mechanical stimuli initiate biochemical signals that trigger cellular responses and ultimately functional improvement. Biomechanically, fascial elasticity, fascial stiffness, and viscosity absorb and distribute forces. While tissue hydration level is increased, that is compromised in chronic low back pain.
Secondly, sound-assisted soft tissue mobilization could be an intervention for treating musculoskeletal disorders. The SASTM technique has the potential to be a game-changer in pain management after IASTM. The sound decreases as adhesions are broken. While breakdown of scar tissue can be a facilitator for ease of movement patterns.

Active Comparator: Group A
Group A (IASTM + Conventional therapy) |
The IASTM technique contains a protocol for treatment that contains five components: i. Examination, ii. warm-up exercises 5 min iii. IASTM treatment (e.g., 30-60 seconds per session), iv. Post treatment stretching and strengthening, v. Icing (only when sub-acute inflammation is of concern). In conventional therapy, patients will be given an exercise program that will be targeted to low back muscles. This will be include three type of exercise focusing on stretching, strengthening and postural correction exercise.(Yana et al., 2024) |

Kokeellinen: Group B
Group B (SASTM + Conventional) |
In conventional therapy, patients will be given an exercise program that will be targeted to low back muscles. This will be include three type of exercise focusing on stretching, strengthening and postural correction exercise.(Yana et al., 2024) The therapist will apply sound instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (SASTM) with a convex plastic (Ceramic) tool (Beer JA, 2019). |
