Abstract

Background

Chronic low back pain (CLBP) is one of the leading causes of disability in the world population. In 2017, in central Europe and North America, prevalence of CLBP was 12.51% and 9.80% respectively. The rehabilitation of the abdominal muscles, and notably the deep transversus abdominis, plays an important role in the management of CLBP in physiotherapy.

Objectives

The main objective of this study is to prove that a biofeedback device of the transversus abdominis, named Blueback Physio®, developed by the Blueback company, improves the management of patients suffering from this pain.

Design

The clinical trial is designed as a prospective, monocentric, comparative, open-label randomized and parallel group study.

Method

41 subjects were included in this study and divided into two groups, one control group, in which the subjects used the device without visual biofeedback, and one intervention group, where the subjects used the complete biofeedback. The study included patients cared in day or full hospitalization in FSEF Rennes-Beaulieu Clinic, France, as part of the PRESDO program (“programme de prévention secondaire des dorso-lombalgies”).

Results

We found that patients who use visual biofeedback of the transverse abdominis muscle are more likely to (i) quickly learn to voluntarily contract this muscle and (ii) have better control of this muscle compared to patients who do not use it. Finally, the PRESDO program improves overall patient well-being.

期刊介绍: IRBM is the journal of the AGBM (Alliance for engineering in Biology an Medicine / Alliance pour le génie biologique et médical) and the SFGBM (BioMedical Engineering French Society / Société française de génie biologique médical) and the AFIB (French Association of Biomedical Engineers / Association française des ingénieurs biomédicaux). As a vehicle of information and knowledge in the field of biomedical technologies, IRBM is devoted to fundamental as well as clinical research. Biomedical engineering and use of new technologies are the cornerstones of IRBM, providing authors and users with the latest information. Its six issues per year propose reviews (state-of-the-art and current knowledge), original articles directed at fundamental research and articles focusing on biomedical engineering. All articles are submitted to peer reviewers acting as guarantors for IRBM''s scientific and medical content. The field covered by IRBM includes all the discipline of Biomedical engineering. Thereby, the type of papers published include those that cover the technological and methodological development in: -Physiological and Biological Signal processing (EEG, MEG, ECG…)- Medical Image processing- Biomechanics- Biomaterials- Medical Physics- Biophysics- Physiological and Biological Sensors- Information technologies in healthcare- Disability research- Computational physiology- …
