Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Perturbation-based trunk stabilization training (PTT) may help reduce disability in elite rowers with low back pain. While pain reduction was similar between groups, PTT showed potential for improving physical function.

Area of Science:

  • Sports Medicine
  • Rehabilitation Science
  • Biomechanics

Background:

  • Low back pain is a significant issue for elite rowers due to high training volumes and repetitive spinal movements.
  • Neuropathological patterns and increased spinal strain are common in rowers, necessitating targeted interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the effectiveness of perturbation-based trunk stabilization training (PTT) for elite rowers experiencing low back pain.
  • To assess PTT's impact on pain, disability, trunk strength, and postural control.

Main Methods:

  • A non-randomized parallel group study involving 26 male German national sweep rowers.
  • Intervention group received 16 PTT sessions over 10 weeks; control group maintained usual routines.
  • Outcome measures included back pain/disability, trunk strength (extension/flexion), jump height, and postural sway.

Main Results:

  • The PTT group demonstrated significantly less disability compared to the control group (5.3 points difference).
  • Both groups experienced similar reductions in pain intensity, with inconclusive between-group effects.
  • No significant between- or within-group effects were observed for postural sway, strength, or jump height.

Conclusions:

  • Perturbation-based trunk stabilization training appears possibly effective in improving lower back physical function for elite rowers.
  • PTT may be a valuable therapeutic approach for managing low back pain and disability in this athletic population.
