STEAMS Application on Health Science Regarding Chronic Low Back Pain and Exercise Intervention4/15/2019 This paper will apply “STEAMS” methodology on Health Science regarding chronic low back pain and exercise intervention. The science research revealed Chronic low back pain (CLBP) is a common, long-lasting, and disabling condition with high costs for society and patients. The prevalence of CLBP is globally calculated to be 9442.5 per 100,000(9%). Impairment of lumbopelvic stability is considered as a significant factor in patients with CLBP. Technology: Lumbopelvic stabilization exercise has been established as a treatment of chronic low back pain. Lumbopelvic stability was measured with a pressure biofeedback device. Engineering: 35 CLBP patients undertook a 6-weeks Specific Pilates Exercise Program emphasizing on lumbopelvic stabilization, posture training and body awareness. Low back pain can bother a person in many dimensions such as pain, limiting his/her daily activities and psychosocial activities. We used visual analogue scale, Oswestry Low Back Disability Questionnaire, pressure biofeedback device to measure them. Paired t test, box-plot, interval plot were applied to determined improvement or not after this exercise program and in which symptoms or disabilities. The AI clustering analysis grouped pain level and disabilities and investigate their correlation. Profiler and Sensitivity Analysis and AI neural algorithm were used to investigate a pain improvement predictive model. “STEAMS” methodology is very powerful to help conduct the health science research.

This paper will apply “STEAMS” methodology on Health Science. The science will mainly address what and how the lumboplevic stability exercise intervention influence patients with chronic low back pain(CLBP) and can we find factors to help predicting what kinds of patients will have better improvement possibility with this particular exercises. Chronic low back pain(CLBP) is a common, long-lasting, and disabling condition with high costs for society and patients. The prevalence of CLBP is globally calculated to be 9442.5 per 100,000(9%). Although there are many conditions can cause low back pain, lumbar instability is considered to be a significant factor in patients with CLBP. Data was collected on 40+ patients with CLBP who had undertaken a 6-weeks Modified Pilates Core Rehab exercise program. We collected their pain intensity, activities disability and lumbopelvic stability before and after the exercise program intervention. All the three domains had improvement after the exercise program. Pain, standing, sleeping, social life have better improvement among disability categories.
