Low back pain is defined as a set of signs and symptoms or a musculoskeletal syndrome, with the primary symptom being localized pain in the lower back or lumbar area. This area is situated between the lower rib cage, the sacral region, and occasionally involves the gluteal region. The pain in the lumbar area can present in two forms: acute pain, which is caused by traumatic injury or moderate strain, and chronic pain, which lasts for more than three months. The difference between acute and chronic low back pain is that the acute form involves cognitive, emotional, and social factors influencing the pain. To evaluate the intensity of low back pain, the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), described by Scott and Huskinsson in 1976, is used. This scale presents pain intensity levels, is easy to use, and has been proven to be reproducible and sensitive, allowing patients to express their pain level with a score.

Trunk control and its relationship with hand function in post-cerebrovascular accident patients at a private center, 2022
(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2023-05-25) Zambrano Medina, Diana Pamela; Puma Chombo, Jorge Eloy
Stroke (CVA) is a pathology that can occur rapidly in an individual, being one of the most frequent health conditions affecting the global population. A stroke patient typically presents greater deficits in the upper limbs than in the lower limbs, with impairments in grip, pressure, and manual dexterity, affecting their activities of daily living (ADLs). The conclusion is that changes in upper limb functionality can be correlated with the motor level. The interest of this work is to explore the relationship between trunk control and manual function in post-stroke patients. The data obtained will help generate strategies to improve physical therapy treatment and provide better multidisciplinary management of trunk control and manual function. It will also allow the creation of workshops and talks for both health professionals and patients, contributing to future research.
