The Effect of Lumbopelvic Non-Thrust Spinal Manipulation on Individuals With Low Back Pain
The Effect of Lumbopelvic Non-Thrust Spinal Manipulation on Muscle Thickness of the Sacral Multifidi, Lumbar Motion, and Self-Reported Pain
The purpose of this experiment is to determine the effects of a non-thrust manipulation procedure on muscle function, spinal mobility, and pain level on those experiencing low back pain (LBP) in a sample of individuals who identify English as their primary language. The rationale for this language criterion is provided in Section 9:F of this application. Muscle function will be measured via the muscle thickness of a deep spinal stabilizing muscle (multifidus, MF) while in both a resting state and during a maximum voluntary contraction (MVC). Spinal mobility will be measured as the active range of motion of both forward and backward trunk bending. Pain level will be a self-report measure recorded during rest and active range of motion.
Hypothesis 1: A non-thrust manipulation procedure will increase the thickness of the sacral multifidus both at rest and during a maximum voluntary contraction
Hypothesis 2: A non-thrust manipulation procedure will result in greater low back active range of motion.
Hypothesis 3: A non-thrust manipulation procedure will result in a reduction in the participant's self-reported pain levels both at rest and during active range of motion movements.

説明
Inclusion Criteria:
- Participants are individuals with current complaint of low back pain, defined as pain that is present in the region from just below the rib cage to just below the buttocks.
- Participants will be 18 years of age or older
- Participants must be experiencing an episode of low back pain at the present time that is at any level on a Numerical Pain Rating Scale & Pain Diagram (NPRS) from 1-10
- Participants must demonstrate the ability to maintain standing and prone postures for several minutes at a time and perform lumbar active range of motion in a standing position
- Participants must report the presence of their low back pain during performance of active forward and/or backward bending in standing
