Clinical Trial Summary

To compare the effects of static exercises with dynamic core stability on pain and disability in postpartum back pain.

Description:

The study comprised 28 participants. The individuals were subdivided into binary groups, group A performed static exercises and group B performed dynamic exercises including swiss ball, each containing 14 subjects. Baseline treatment (Hot pack, TENS and posture correction) to both groups was given along with core stability exercises. Core stability exercises were performed on both group for 4 weeks. The pretreatment and post treatment tests are measured using the scale VAS (visual analog scale) and Oswestry disability index questionnaire. Both groups have shown the improvement in postpartum lumber pain and an improved in daily life activities. But swiss ball exercises have more significant improvement on pain and disability in patients having postpartum lumber pain.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Oswestry disability index	Oswestry disability index (ODI) is used to measure disability. A score of 0-20 reflects minimal disability, 21-40 moderate disability, 41-60 severe disability, 61-80 crippled, and 81-100 bed-bound.	4th week
Primary	visual analog scale	Visual analog scale (VAS) is usd to measure pain intensity. The findings suggested that 100-mm VAS ratings of 0 to 4 mm can be considered no pain; 5 to 44 mm, mild pain; 45 to 74 mm, moderate pain; and 75 to 100 mm, severe pain.	4th week
