The effect of dynamic neuromuscular stabilization technique combined with Kinesio Taping on neuromuscular function and pain self-efficacy in individuals with chronic nonspecific low back pain: A randomized trial
Bibliographic record
Abstract
BACKGROUND: This study investigates the therapeutic efficacy of dynamic neuromuscular stabilization (DNS) technology paired with Kinesio Taping in patients with persistent nonspecific low back pain, as well as the effect on neuromuscular function and pain self-efficacy. METHODS: A randomized controlled clinical study was conducted to collect clinical data on DNS combined with KT for the treatment of chronic nonspecific low back pain from November 2023 to April 2024. The inclusion criteria were patients with chronic nonspecific lower back pain, aged between 18 and 30 years old, and without serious underlying medical conditions, such as cardiac disease, hypertension, and diabetes. The control group received Kinesio Tape therapy, and the experimental group received a combination of Kinesio Tape therapy and DNS technology. The treatment lasted for 6 weeks, 3 times a week. Patients were examined before and after treatment using the Visual Analog Rating Scale, Oswestry Dysfunction Score, and Pain Self-Efficacy Questionnaire. Multifidus and transversus abdominis muscle strength was tested using surface electromyography signals, and the patient's joint mobility, maximal isometric muscle strength, and muscular endurance were tested using the Davy Spine Rehabilitation System. Internal lumbar and abdominal pressures were assessed using stabilizer pressure biofeedback. RESULTS: A total of 32 subjects (17 males and 15 females) were enrolled, of which 16 were in the experimental group and 16 in the control group. After the treatment, the patients in both groups showed significant improvements in the visual analogue scale, Oswestry disability index, Chinese version of Pain Self-Efficacy Questionnaire (PSEQ), joint mobility, maximum isometric strength, muscle endurance, abdominal pressure, transverse abdominal muscle and multifidus muscle scales compared with the pretreatment results. (Chinese version of Pain Self-Efficacy Questionnaire) scales were significantly improved compared with the pretreatment; joint mobility, maximal isometric muscle strength, muscular endurance, intra-abdominal pressure, transversus abdominis and multifidus AEMG (average electromyography) were more significantly improved, and the differences were statistically significant (P < .05). The experimental group showed more significant improvement than the control group (P < .05). CONCLUSION: DNS technology paired with Kinesio Taping can considerably improve neuromuscular function and enhance pain self-efficacy in chronic nonspecific low back pain patients, reducing discomfort and improving dysfunction.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
