Effect of Cold and Hot Intervention on Proprioception and Muscle Activity in 20’s Chronic Low Back Pain Patients
Abstract
Purpose The Purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of cold and hot intervention on proprioceptio and nmuscle activity in low back pain patients. Methods The intervention was applied to the lumbar joint for 15 minutes and repositioning test was inspected at 30° and 60° trunk flexion to measure the proprioception. In addition, muscle activity was measured at 30° with EMG. All measurements and tests were implemented before and after the intervention. Results The results showed that repositioning error was significant only in the 30° trunk flexion posture of the hot intervention group. In the case of muscle activity, the muscle activity increased in the hot intervention group and the muscle activity decreased in the cold intervention group. Conclusion In this study cold and hot intervention did not affect the proprioception. In the case of cold intervention, the muscle activity was decreased, but the joint may become stiff and there is a risk of injury. In the case of hot intervention, the muscle activity is increased. But according to the preceding articles, after the longterm hot intervention, the decrease in muscle activity can be predictable. This may be helpful in decreasing the muscle activity of back pain patients who have more muscle activity than normal people due to the presence of maladaptive muscleguarding to protect the spine.
