Introduction: The lumbopelvic region is an extremely complex area where the pelvic district is closely interconnected with the lumbar region, both structurally and functionally. The two regions influence each other and often dysfunctions in one of the two districts manifest with symptoms in the other. Objective: Given the limited information available in the literature on this topic, this scoping review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of lumbopelvic dysfunctions by investigating and presenting the available literature on the correlations between pelvic floor dysfunctions and lumbar dysfunctions in non-post-surgical adult patients. Methods: Five databases were used: MEDLINE, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, PEDro, and Scopus, including any type of publication with no geographical, temporal, or language restrictions. Only adult, not post-surgical patients were considered, with pelvic or lumbar region dysfunctions and related clinical conditions. Two reviewers independently screened the titles and abstracts of all articles, while the full texts were divided between the two reviewers. Results: The search returned 43.863 results. After the selection process 14 studies were included. Most of them were cross-sectional studies from Europe and middle East. Almost all studies considered a female population. In clinical practice, relationships have been found between low back pain (LBP) and: urinary incontinence (UI), chronic pelvic pain (CPP), pelvic girdle pain, pelvic organ prolapse, and colorectal and anal symptoms. One study investigated the association between the presence of lumbar disc hernia and sacroiliac joint dysfunction (SIJD). Conclusion: The most significant correlations are between LBP and UI, between LBP and CPP and between the presence of lumbar hernia and SIJD. The present study highlights the importance of a global assessment of the patient with lumbo-pelvic dysfunctions, in addition to the need of developing a routine screening for such dysfunctions. Further studies with larger sample sizes and male populations are needed to confirm the consistency of the results and to explore causal relationships between dysfunctions.
Introduzione: La regione lombo-pelvica è un’area estremamente complessa che vede il distretto pelvico strettamente interconnesso a quello lombare, sia strutturalmente che funzionalmente. Le due regioni si influenzano reciprocamente e le disfunzioni in uno dei due distretti spesso si manifestano con sintomi nell'altro. Obiettivo dello studio: Data la scarsità di contributi in letteratura sull’argomento, questa scoping review intende fornire una visione completa delle disfunzioni lombo-pelviche, indagando e presentando le informazioni attualmente disponibili circa le correlazioni tra quelle del pavimento pelvico da un lato e quelle lombari dall’altro, in pazienti adulti non post-chirurgici. Materiali e metodi: Sono stati utilizzati cinque database: MEDLINE, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, PEDro e Scopus, includendo qualsiasi tipo di pubblicazione senza restrizioni geografiche, temporali o di lingua. Sono stati presi in considerazione pazienti adulti non post-chirurgici con disfunzioni della regione pelvica o lombare, oltre alle condizioni cliniche correlate. Due Revisori hanno esaminato in modo indipendente i titoli e gli abstract di tutti gli articoli, mentre i full-text sono stati condivisi da entrambi. Risultati: La ricerca ha portato a 43.863 risultati. A seguito del processo di selezione si sono ottenuti 14 studi. La maggior parte di essi sono studi cross-sectional provenienti prevalentemente da Europa e Medio Oriente. Quasi la totalità degli studi considera una popolazione femminile. Clinicamente sono state riscontrate delle correlazioni tra low back pain (LBP) e: incontinenza urinaria (UI), dolore pelvico cronico (CPP), pelvic girdle pain, prolasso degli organi pelvici, sintomi colorettali e anali. Uno studio ha valutato l’associazione tra la presenza di ernia del disco lombare e disfunzioni dell’articolazione sacro-iliaca (SIJD). Conclusioni: Le correlazioni più significative trovate sono tra LBP e UI, tra LBP e CPP e tra la presenza di ernia lombare e SIJD. Dal presente studio si evidenzia l’importanza di una valutazione globale del paziente con disfunzioni lombo-pelviche, e la necessità di sviluppare uno screening di routine per tali disfunzioni. Sono necessari ulteriori studi con campioni di dimensioni maggiori e su popolazioni maschili per confermare la consistenza dei risultati e spiegare le relazioni causali tra le disfunzioni.
