Title of your Abstract : The Role of Ultrasound in Diagnosis of the Causes of Low Back Pain: a Review of the Literature
Destination Country : Malaysia

Abstract(Please copy/paste the abstract send to the congress) : Introduction/Background:
Low back pain (LBP) is among the most prevalent musculoskeletal conditions in the developed countries. It is a common problem causing disability and imposing a huge economic burden to individuals and state organizations. Imaging plays an important role in diagnosis of the etiology of LBP.
Material and Methods:
The electronic databases included: PubMed, Ovid SP Medline and ISI and Google Scholar. In every search engine another search was performed using various permutations of the following keywords: ultrasonography, ultrasound imaging, low back pain, back muscles, paraspinal muscles, multifidus, transverse abdominis, muscle size, spinal canal, sacroiliac joint and spondylolisthesis.
Results:
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is widely used in evaluation of patients with LBP; however, high costs, limited availability and contraindications for its use have restricted MRI utilization. In a quest for a less expensive and readily available tool to investigate LBP, clinicians and researchers found ultrasonography (US) as an alternative. In this review we discuss the US application in diagnosis of some common causes of non-specific chronic LBP. Discussed topics include evaluation of spinal canal diameter, paraspinal and transabdominal muscles, sacroiliac joint laxity, pregnancy related LBP, sacroiliitis, and spondylolisthesis using US in patients with LBP.
Conclusions:
While the first researches on employing ultrasound in diagnosis of patients with LBP had been focused on spinal canal diameter, recent studies have been mostly performed to evaluate the role of transabdominal and paraspinal muscles on core stability and thereby LBP occurrence. On the other side, Doppler ultrasonography has recently played an important role in objective measurement of joint laxity as a common etiology for LBP. Doppler imaging also in pregnant patients with LBP has been recommended as a safe and sensitive method. As conclusion, according to recent and most prestigious studies, focusing more on transabdominal muscle thickness can be considered as future approach in investigations.

Please inform us if there are any follow up actions we need to talk with the members of the congress : ISPRM 2016 was a comprehensive congress regarding rehabilitation and different related groups including physiatrists, physiotherapists, neurologists, sport medicine specialists, occupational medicine specialists, pain specialists, biomedical engineers and others participated in the congress. This congress had been previously held in different countries and has been helpful as a scientific and technological source of information for host countries. I hope I can participate in this congress here in Tehran in next years.
Your experiences about the travel processes(Providing ticket, accommodation,...) : It was a good trip and everything was OK.
Please give a briefing of your own observations and outcomes of the congress: : The 10th World Congress of the International Society of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine was a great scientific meeting with 1600 participants and several industrial partners from all over the world.

ISPRM 2016’s scientific programme consisted of a wide variety of topics including advance technology and solving capacity issues, sessions, workshops, hands on demonstrations and opportunities to meet the experts.

I learned a lot regarding the new rehabilitation methods in patients and injured athletes and it was obvious that rehabilitation with the assistance of new technologies is growing rapidly throughout the world.
