Abstract

Background: Non-Specific Low Back Pain is a musculoskeletal disorder caused by abnormalities or dysfunctions in musculoskeletal structures without any neurological involvement. This condition is most commonly found in workplaces, especially among individuals who perform activities with incorrect body posture. Non-specific LBP may result from muscle strain or lack of spinal movement, which leads to weakened or tense back muscles.Methods: This study aims to determine the physiotherapy management using a combination of Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) and William Flexion Exercises in reducing pain and improving mobility in patients with non-specific low back pain. The study employs a descriptive quantitative approach with a case study design. TENS was applied to the lumbar area for 15–20 minutes using conventional frequency, combined with progressively performed William Flexion Exercises over a period of two weeks. Pain was assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), and functional ability was evaluated using the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI).Results: The results showed a significant reduction in pain levels based on VAS scores and an improvement in functional ability as indicated by ODI scores after the combined therapy.Conclusion: The combination of TENS and William Flexion Exercises is effective in reducing pain and improving function in patients with Non-Specific Low Back Pain.

Abstract

Background: Foot structure and body weight are considered important factors influencing dynamic balance in school-aged children. Dynamic balance in this study was assessed using the Functional Reach Test (FRT). This study aimed to analyze Effect of Clark’s Angle and Body Weight on Dynamic Balance in School-Aged Children.Methods: This study employed an analytical observational cross-sectional design. A total of 58 children aged 9–12 years were recruited using purposive sampling. The independent variables included Clark’s Angle of the left and right feet and body weight, while the dependent variable was dynamic balance measured using the FRT. Data analysis consisted of the Kolmogorov–Smirnov normality test and Pearson correlation analysis, with a significance level set at p < 0.05.Results: The findings revealed a very strong positive correlation between Clark’s Angle and FRT scores for both the right foot (r = 0.808) and the left foot (r = 0.801). In contrast, body weight demonstrated a significant negative correlation with FRT (r = –0.569). An almost perfect correlation between left and right Clark’s Angle values (r = 0.994) indicated a high degree of bilateral foot morphology symmetry within the sample. Children with higher medial longitudinal arches exhibited better dynamic balance, whereas those with flat feet or higher body weight tended to show reduced dynamic balance performance.Conclusion: Clark’s Angle is a significant predictor of dynamic balance in school-aged children, while increased body weight may adversely affect postural stability. Assessment of foot structure and body weight status should be incorporated into routine child health screening to support early intervention strategies aimed at improving motor development and balance.
