Brief Summary: The transverse abdominis TrA is the deepest muscle layer of lateral and anterior abdominal wall and also known as a significant component of core stability Abdominal draw-in maneuver ADIM is the main for the strengthening of the deep muscle however sufficient activation of TrA by ADIM is limited Blood flow restriction BFR training is a technique combined with low intensity exercise that produces similar results to high intensity training Therefore the purpose of this study is to explore whether BFR-assisted ADIM can become a new auxiliary way to train TrA and whether it can better activate their TrA in patients with low back pain Low back pain LBP is a major health problem with huge economic and social costs Core muscle weakness is a risk factor for LBP Past studies have also pointed out that the biggest cause affecting the quality of life and activities of modern people is lower back pain In modern life low back pain can be said to be a very common disease According to past research there is a 50 to 70 chance that people may have lower back pain in their lifetime and non-specific low back pain accounts for the majority 90 the reason why the influence of non-specific low back pain is so great is not only physically but also psychologically When people perform many functions of daily life people need the help of the waist But once the wrong way of effort or posture will lead to more pressure on the spine leading to greater pain a strong sense of discomfort will haunt them for a long time Therefore the activation and control of TrA is very important because of the relationship between the lateral direction of TrA so when TrA contracts it will result in a decrease in waist circumference an increase in thoracolumbar fascia tension and an increase in intra-abdominal pressure so it is regarded as the most important stable muscle in the coreIn addition TrA is a special presence in the core muscle group it can independently contract and like the presence of waist protection to stabilize our spine but because it is located in the deepest layer coupled with less muscle activity it is difficult to effectively activate correctly so if TrA is not activated or contracted correctly it may cause non-specific lower back pain
Detailed Description: In this study 20 healthy people and 20 patients with lower back pain were recruited and divided into healthy group experimental group patients with lower back pain and sham experimental group patients with lower back pain The subjects in the experimental group and the healthy group were tied under the ribs with a pulse band 14 cm wide and 84 cm long to block at least 60 of the blood flow and do abdominal exercise In the sham experimental group the ventral compression band was fastened but the abdominal contraction exercise was performed without inflation Each subject exercised for 20 minutes twice a week for six weeks At the first third and sixth week ultrasound Ultrasound USD was used to evaluate the muscle thickness and muscle activation of external oblique muscle internal oblique muscle and transverse muscle core muscle group This study expects that blood blocking training can increase the degree of activation muscle strength and hypertrophy of transverse abdominal muscle in patients with lower back pain and can provide a new auxiliary method to improve the predicament that it is difficult to activate transverse abdominal muscle correctly
