Abstract

Aim

To investigate the effect of instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization technique on pain, joint range of motion, functionality and quality of life in patients with lumbar disc herniation.

Methods

This is a double blinded, randomized controlled trial. A total of 60 patients were randomly allocated to either an experimental group [n = 30, age = 46.33 ± 12.96 years] or a control group [n = 30, age = 57.03 ± 9.64 years]. The experimental group received instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization [3 consecutive days a week for 4 weeks] in addition to conventional physiotherapy [five days a week for 4 weeks]. The control group only received the conventional physiotherapy [five days a week for 4 weeks]. Pain intensity, range of motion of the lumbar spine (flexion, extension, lateral flexion), functional disability related to low back pain and quality of life were assessed at the beginning and end of the study.

Results

The experimental group showed statistically significant improvements in the range of motion in lumbar area (flexion, extension and lateral flexion values) compared to that shown in the control group (p < 0.05). The mean differences in Oswestry disability index were significantly better in experimental group than in the control group (p < 0.05). There were no significant differences between the two groups in terms of pain and quality of life (p > 0.05).

Conclusions

Instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization, in addition to conservative treatment, can improve range of motion in lumbar area and reduce functional disability in patients with Lumbar Region Disc Herniations.

器械辅助软组织活动对腰椎间盘突出症的影响：随机对照试验

目的研究器械辅助软组织活动技术对腰椎间盘突出症患者疼痛、关节活动范围、功能和生活质量的影响。方法这是一项双盲随机对照试验。共有 60 名患者被随机分配到实验组（n = 30，年龄 = 46.33 ± 12.96 岁）或对照组（n = 30，年龄 = 57.03 ± 9.64 岁）。实验组在接受常规物理治疗（每周 5 天，共 4 周）的同时，还接受器械辅助软组织活动治疗（每周连续 3 天，共 4 周）。对照组只接受常规物理治疗[每周 5 天，共 4 周]。在研究开始和结束时，对疼痛强度、腰椎活动范围（屈曲、伸展、侧屈）、与腰痛有关的功能障碍和生活质量进行评估。结果与对照组相比，实验组在腰部活动范围（屈曲、伸展和侧屈值）方面的改善具有统计学意义（P < 0.05）。实验组的 Oswestry 残疾指数的平均差异明显优于对照组（P < 0.05）。结论除保守治疗外，支架辅助软组织活动术可改善腰椎间盘突出症患者的腰部活动范围，减少功能障碍。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
