Abstract
Introduction & Purpose: Nonspecific low back pain is one of the most common types of low back pain. The majority of people in the community suffer from this complication at least once in their lifetime. The aim of this study was to compare the prevalence, severity and disability caused by nonspecific low back pain in elite katareka(kata) men and women in Iran.
Methodology: For this purpose, 94 elite katareka(kata) in Iran (mean ± SD; 23.31±4.74 years, height 167.39±6.70 cm and weight 65.13±9.37 kg) participated in the present study. To measure pain intensity, disability rate and pain measurement, online questionnaires of Quebec pain intensity, oswestry disability rate were used, respectively. Chi-square test were used to analyze the data.
Result: The results showed that there was a significant difference between the prevalence of nonspecific low back pain among elite male and female katareka(kata) in Iran (ƛ2 = 14.11, p = 0.001). While there was a significant difference in the severity of nonspecific low back pain (ƛ2 = 0.53, p = 0.46) and disability due to nonspecific low back pain (ƛ2 = 2/66, p = 0/26) There is no elite male and female catharsis in the country.
Conclusion: According to the results of the present study, nonspecific back pain is more common in men. In this regard, it is suggested that the identification of high-risk techniques as well as the modification of relevant techniques in the group be done with more emphasis.
