Background: Lumbar stabilisation exercise has been shown to reduce pain and disability in patients with low back pain but information on its potential benefits in term of back muscle endurance is scarce. Objective: This study was aimed at investigating the effects of augmenting conventional physiotherapy with lumbar stabilization exercises on selected variables of patients with non-specific chronic low back pain (NSCLBP). Methods: Forty individuals with NSCLBP aged 20-60 years were assigned to one of experimental or control groups (20 in each). The experimental group had lumbar stabilisation exercises in addition to conventional therapy (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulator and infrared) which was the only treatment for the control group. Both groups were treated thrice weekly. Participants’ pain intensity, disability index, kinesiophobia level and back muscle endurance were evaluated at baseline and after 8 weeks. Results: There was significant reduction in pain intensity (ex...

Objective: Lumbar stabilization exercises aim to activate and strengthen the deep abdominal and back muscles. Exercise program presented in this study combines activation of specific lumbar stabilizing muscles with traditional strengthening and stretching exercises. The main goal of this study was to establish the effect of stabilization exercises on pain reduction and improving functionality in patients with Chronic Low Back Pain (CLBP). Materials and Methods: This prospective randomized clinical study was conducted in the Clinical Center Nis, from January 2007 until March 2009. 160 patients with CLBP were eligible and met the inclusion criteria. The study group (S; n=100) had specific lumbar stabilization exercises, while the patients in the control group (C; n=60) performed traditional program for CLBP, based on the strengthening and stretching of the large, superficial back muscles. For monitoring the patients, the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) and Short-form 36 (SF-36) were u...

Chronic low back pain (LBP), the most communal musculoskeletal condition with a pervasiveness of up to 84% in the grown-up population and world's chief cause of debility and a major welfare and economic issue and lasts for at least 12 weeks [1]. LBP affects human beings somewhere of their lives and its progression is too much and with time it becomes di cult to change [2]. LBP may be mechanical or non-mechanical in nature and causes more global disability than any other condition [3]. Degenerative disc diseases and spondylolysis with or without listhesis causes low back pain in athletes [4] while sacral hiatus (either highly placed apex or de cient posterior wall) is one of the major causes of mechanical low back pain in the Middle Ages [5]. Modic changes occur in persons with low backbone pain associated with disc degeneration and displacement and severity of disease. Weakness in gluteus medius and tenderness in glutei,

Background Lumbopelvic stabilization training (LPST) may provide therapeutic benefits on pain modulation in chronic nonspecific low back pain conditions. This study aimed to examine the effects of LPST on pain threshold and pain intensity in comparison to the passive automated cycling intervention and control intervention among patients with chronic nonspecific low back pain. Methods A within-subject, repeated-measures, crossover randomized controlled design was conducted among 25 participants (7 males and 18 females) with chronic nonspecific low back pain. All the participants received 3 different types of experimental interventions, which included LPST, the passive automated cycling intervention, and the control intervention randomly, with 48 hours between the sessions. The pressure pain threshold (PPT), hot-cold pain threshold, and pain intensity were estimated before and after the interventions. Results Repeated-measures analysis of variance showed that LPST provided therapeutic effects as it improved the PPT beyond the placebo and control interventions (P < 0.01). The pain intensity under the LPST condition was significantly better than under the passive automated cycling intervention and controlled intervention (P < 0.001). Heat pain threshold under the LPST condition also showed a significant trend of improvement beyond the control (P < 0.05), but no significant effects on cold pain threshold were evident.

Background: Mechanical low back pain is the most common medical complaint and the leading cause of disability. Lumbar stabilization exercise focussed on deep abdominal and back muscles has gained credibility in patients with mechanical low back pain. Lumbar stabilization exercise has shown benefits for people with mechanical low back pain as the lumbar stabilizer muscles play a role in lumbar segmental stability and as a basic support, and for lumbar segmental stabilization, strengthening of deep and superficial stabilizer muscles and co-coordination are necessary. This study was conducted to find the effectiveness of lumbar stabilization exercise on mechanical low back pain and functional disability in people with mechanical low back pain. Methods: 15 individuals (both male and female) of the age group 20-50 with mechanical LBP were included in the study and performed each exercise for lumbar musculature once daily for 2 weeks. Visual analogue scale (VAS) and Oswestry disability index (ODI) were used as the outcome measure. Results: Paired t-tests showed a statistically significant difference between pre and post VAS and ODI (p≤0.05). Conclusion: This study concludes that lumbar stabilization exercises are effective in reducing mechanical low back pain and improving functional disability in patients with mechanical low back pain.
Background: Chronic low back pain (CLBP) is one of the most serious health problems in musculoskeletal aspect and immediate non surgical remedies are needed. Objective: Objective of the study was to find the effects of specific lumbar stabilization exercise by using an unstable training device on pain, lumbopelvic stability, and functional disability on subject with CLBP. Study design: A Randomized controlled study (double blinded) Setting; Institutional based musculoskeletal physiotherapy outpatient department. Outcome measures: Numerical pain rating scale (NPRS), lumbopelvic stability (LPS) by pressure biofeedback (PBU) & Modified Oswestery disability questionnaire (MODI) Materials & Methods: 60 patients with chronic low back pain were randomly allocated in to either experimental and control group. Group A received specific lumbar stabilization exercises by using an unstable training device (n=30) and Group B (control group) received mat lumbar stabilization exercise (n=30). The t...

Introduction: Lumbar stabilization and McKenzie exercises are becoming a popular trend for managing chronic low back pain though it is currently not known whether lumbar stabilization exercises produce better results in improving functional status compared to McKenzie approach. The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of the McKenzie approach versus lumbar stabilization in the treatment of chronic low back pain. Material & Methods: This was a randomized controlled trial. Lottery method was used to randomly divide individuals who fulfilled inclusion criteria into 2 groups. Assessments of the patients were done in OPD. Baseline assessment was done on day 1 and post intervention assessment was done after 2 weeks. A total of 8 treatment sessions spread across 2 weeks were given (4 days per week). Data were assessed at baseline level and post intervention. Data was entered and analysed by SPSS version 21. Results: A total of 28 females and 02 males (mean age of 50.88 ...
