Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of this study is to examine the effectiveness of plyometric exercise training in the athletes with chronic low back pain. 32 professional volunteer athletes participated in the study.

Description:

Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for pain assessment and Oswestry Disability Index for disability level will be used. Sit and Reach Test, Vertical Jump, Flamingo balance test and Shuttle Running test (20 min.) will be used to measure the physical functioning of the participants. Manual Muscle testing will also be used to measure the participants' lower and upper muscles. The participants were divided into two groups. The interventional program will be finished after 6 weeks (3 days a week). The program includes; physical therapy session (Hot packed, vacuum interferential current therapy, therapeutic ultrasound, exercises) and plyometric exercises.
