Clinical Trial Summary

This study will compare the effects of 2 exercise programs including core stabilization exercise and general trunk strengthening exercise programs on trunk muscle activity, physical dysfunction, quality of life and lumbar motion in low back pain patient with clinical lumbar instability.

Description:

Clinical lumbar instability is the one of causes of chronic low back pain, that affects to pain intensity and quality of life. For clinical studies using core stabilization exercise (CSE) as treatment have revealed conflicting findings on pain, functional disability and muscle responses in chronic low back pain. The CSE promotes local muscle system that to provide lumbar stability. However, the stability of spine related to global muscle system, that using in this study.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Effect of 2-exercise on quality of life	health-related quality of life was measured by using SF-36 questionnaire	Change from baseline at 10-week after training session, and follow up session
Secondary	Effect of 2-exercise on physical disability	Physical disability was measured by using Oswestry disability index	Change from baseline at 10-week after training session, and follow up session
Secondary	Effect of 2-exercise on trunk muscle activity	Trunk muscle activity was measured by using surface EMG	Change from baseline at 10-week after training session, and follow up session
Secondary	Effect of 2-exercise on lumbar segmental motion	Lumbar segmental motion was measured by using radiography	Change from baseline at 10-week after training session, and follow up session
Secondary	Effect of 2-exercise on pain intensity	Pain intensity was measured by using numeric rating scale	Change from baseline at 10-week after training session, and follow up session
