Diagnostic accuracy of lumbopelvic motor control tests using pressure biofeedback unit in professional swimmers: A cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT:

Hypothesis

To determine the effect of receiving the visual feedback of the sphygmomanometer on lumbopelvic motor control (LPMC) tests in professional swimmers.

Method

31 professional swimmers to participate in the study. The outcome was maximum absolute mmHg variation in the pressure biofeedback unit's manometer with and without visual feedback on four LPMC tests.

Results

Test scores were significantly affected by visual feedback F = 10.07, p = 0.002, η² _p = 0.117 and the type of test F = 32.53, p < 0.001, η² _p = 0.300.

Conclusion

Visual feedback has a positive effect on the Active Straight Leg Raise Test (ASLR), the Knee Lift Abdominal Test (KLAT) scores completed by professional swimmers.
