Chronic Low Back Pain
Conditions
Brief 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.
Detailed 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.
Interventions
the participants asked to performed CSE program, 20 min/session, 2 session/week, 10 weeks
the participants asked to performed GSE program, 20 min/session, 2 session/week, 10 weeks

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