DBC - Biokineticist Assessment
1. Demographic and General Information
- Name, Age, Gender, Occupation: Jane Doe, 45, Female, Accountant
- Sports or Hobbies: Recreational cycling, gardening
2. Current Complaint
- Reason for Visit: Follow-up on persistent lower back pain impacting daily activities and exercise.
- Location of Pain/Problem: Lumbar spine (L4-L5 region) with occasional left gluteal discomfort.
- Onset of Pain: Approximately 3 months ago, gradual onset with intermittent sharp pain, worsening in severity over the past month.
- Mechanism of Injury: No specific acute injury; pain initiated after a prolonged period of increased desk work and reduced physical activity.
3. Pain Characteristics
- Pain Intensity (VAS 0-10): Varies between 4/10 at rest and 7/10 during aggravating activities.
- Radiation: Occasional radiation to the left gluteal region, but not beyond the knee.
- Aggravating Factors:
* Prolonged sitting (more than 30 minutes)
* Bending forward
* Lifting light objects
- Diurnal Pattern: Stiffer in the mornings for about 30-45 minutes, improves with movement, then worsens again in the late afternoon/evening.
- Nocturnal Pain: Occasionally wakes her from sleep if she lies on her back for too long; relieved by changing position.
4. Past Medical and Injury History
- Previous Back/Neck Pain Episodes: History of one previous episode of lower back pain 5 years ago, resolved with physiotherapy.
- Chronic Conditions:
* Mild Osteoarthritis in knees (managed)
* Controlled hypertension
- Previous Imaging: Lumbar spine X-ray 2 months ago, showing mild degenerative changes consistent with age, no acute pathology.
6. Posture and Ergonomics
- Typical Daily Posture: Slumped posture observed during prolonged sitting at her desk; tends to round shoulders and anterior pelvic tilt when standing for extended periods.
7. Lifestyle Factors and General Health
- Exercise and Activity Level: Previously cycled 3 times a week for 45 minutes; has significantly reduced activity due to pain. Walks for about 20 minutes daily.
- Comorbidities: None directly impacting current musculoskeletal condition, other than mentioned mild OA.
- Chronic Medications:
* Lisinopril 10mg daily for hypertension
* Occasional paracetamol for general aches
8. Current and Past Treatment
- Current Pain Medications: Currently taking paracetamol as needed, 500mg, up to 4 times a day.
- Previous Professional Consultations: Consulted GP 2 months ago, referred for X-ray. Saw a physiotherapist briefly 1 month ago, received general exercises but found them difficult to implement due to pain.
- Treatment Efficacy:
* Paracetamol provides temporary relief (2-3 hours).
* Previous physiotherapy exercises were too painful to consistently perform; felt limited progress.
10. Goals and Expectations
- Goals:
* Reduce lower back pain to a manageable level (VAS 2/10).
* Return to recreational cycling 3 times a week without pain.
* Improve posture and core strength.
* Be able to garden for longer periods without discomfort.
