Abstract

Background: Low back pain (LBP) is a common complaint worldwide, though some people are able to deal with their LBP, for many the pain can become unbearable and debilitating. Vojta is a neurophysiological method used to obtain reflex responses in muscles following stimulation of particular activation zones using digital pressure. Objectives: To determine the effect of Vojta method on electromyographic activity of multifidus in chronic low back pain patients. Methods: thirty- five patients both males and females with chronic low back pain included in the study from Modern University for Technology and Information (MTI) outpatient clinic. Their mean ± SD age, weight, height, and BMI ranged from 27.25 ± 6.62 year, 80.42 ± 9.78 kg, 174.25± 3.86 cm, 26.45 ± 2.86 (kg/m²) .Surface electromyographic recordings for multifidus were performed during resting position, and with maximum voluntary isometric contraction (MVIC). Then surface electromyographic (SEMG) recordings were performed during stimulation at certain zones according to the Vojta methodology Results: there was a significant increase in the EMG amplitude of multifidus in Vojta method compared with that of the resting position and it represents 48% of MVIC. There was a significant increase in activation time of multifidus in vojta method and it represents 204.42% of MVIC
