Study Design: Randomized Controlled Trial.
Objective: Chronic low back pain (CLBP) is a major public health concern that will continue to grow with the expected aging of the population. The purpose of this study was to examine the clinical effect of a personalized, home-based biomechanical intervention compared to traditional physical therapy in patients with CLBP.
Article Synopsis
- * This scoping review analyzes current research on newer SCS waveforms to understand their mechanisms of action and clinical outcomes, which will aid in personalized patient care.
- * While neuromodulation shows promise for chronic pain management, further long-term studies are necessary to compare different waveforms and explore combination therapies.
Background: Home-based therapy optimizing biomechanics and neuromuscular control is increasingly recognized as a treatment option for chronic nonspecific low back pain (CNSLBP). However, its impact on pain, function, and gait is limited among patients in a metropolitan area.
Objective: To evaluate the change of pain, function, and gait parameters with home-based therapy with the use of footwear-generated biomechanical manipulation and perturbation training in a population with CNSLBP in a metropolitan area.
