Low back pain (LBP) is highly prevalent in the rowing population. The body of existing research variously investigates risk factors, prevention, and treatment methods.
The purpose of this scoping review was to explore the breadth and depth of the LBP literature in rowing and to identify areas for future research.
Scoping review.
PubMed, Ebsco and ScienceDirect were searched from inception to November 1, 2020. Only published, peer-reviewed, primary, and secondary data pertaining to LBP in rowing were included for this study. Arksey and O'Malley's framework for guided data synthesis was used. Reporting quality of a subsection of the data was assessed using the STROBE tool.
Following the removal of duplicates and abstract screening, a set of 78 studies were included and divided into the following categories: epidemiology, biomechanics, biopsychosocial, and miscellaneous. The incidence and prevalence of LBP in rowers were well mapped. The biomechanical literature covered a wide range of investigations with limited cohesion. Significant risk factors for LBP in rowers included back pain history and prolonged ergometer use.
A lack of consistent definitions within the studies caused fragmentation of the literature. There was good evidence for prolonged ergometer use and history of LBP to constitute risk factors and this may assist future LBP preventative action. Methodological issues such as small sample size and barriers to injury reporting increased heterogeneity and decreased data quality. Further exploration is required to determine the mechanism of LBP in rowers through research with larger samples.
下背痛（LBP）在赛艇运动员群体中非常普遍。现有研究主体对风险因素、预防和治疗方法进行了多方面的调查。
本范围综述的目的是探索赛艇运动中LBP文献的广度和深度，并确定未来研究的领域。
范围综述。
检索了从创刊到2020年11月1日的PubMed、Ebsco和ScienceDirect数据库。本研究仅纳入已发表的、经过同行评审的、关于赛艇运动中LBP的原始和二手数据。使用了阿克西和奥马利的引导数据综合框架。使用STROBE工具评估了部分数据的报告质量。
在去除重复项和摘要筛选后，纳入了一组78项研究，并分为以下几类：流行病学、生物力学、生物心理社会学和其他。赛艇运动员中LBP的发病率和患病率得到了很好的梳理。生物力学文献涵盖了广泛的研究，但凝聚力有限。赛艇运动员LBP的重要风险因素包括背痛史和长时间使用测力计。
研究中缺乏一致的定义导致了文献的碎片化。有充分证据表明长时间使用测力计和LBP病史是风险因素，这可能有助于未来预防LBP的行动。样本量小和损伤报告障碍等方法学问题增加了异质性，降低了数据质量。需要通过更大样本的研究进一步探索以确定赛艇运动员LBP的机制。
