Influence of modern technologies used in rehabilitation on selected functional parameters of the spine of patients with low back pain

The aim of the study was to examine influence of modern technologies used in the DBC method (Documentation Based Care) on the selected functional parameters of the spine of patients with low back pain. Methods: The research group comprised of 196 patients randomly divided into two groups. Patients in Group I were subjected to DBC treatment with modern rehabilitation equipment, while patients in Group II underwent the traditional form of therapeutic exercise. All subjects included in the study suffered from chronic low-back pain lasting for a period of at least three months. All the symptoms were non-specific. Results: The results presented in the article unequivocally reveal that patients who underwent DBC treatment achieved better, statistically significant improvement in spinal functionality. Conclusions: The modern technologies introduced to the treatment had a considerable impact on the selected functional parameters of the spine of patients with low back pain. The DBC method used as a rehabilitation program for low back pain had a statistically significant influence on the functional parameters of the spine.
