Effects of Lumbopelvic Local and Specific Training on Movement Control and Pain in Participants with Chronic Low Back Pain

Abstract

Introduction: The aim of this study was to compare the effect of lumbo- pelvic general and specific exercises on pain and lumbar movement control in patients with low back pain.

Methods: 44 subjects with age ranged 30-40 years old with nonspecific chronic low back pain were recruited. Before and after the implementation of two different types of general and specific training protocols for lumbo- pelvic area, the pain and movement control measurement were done by using visual analogue scale and Lumajoki tests respectively. Results analysed by analysis of covariance, independent and paired t test. Significant level was set at 0.05 in SPSS program version 22.

Results: The results showed that the general and specific training led to pain decreases (General: 37%) versus (Specific: 52%) and movement control improvement (General: 39%) versus (Specific: 53%) that advantage in both situation is of specific exercises.

Conclusion: The results of this study revealed that motor control process in patints with low back pain has not sufficient flexibility and therefore these persons compulsorily adopting the strategies that this might has a new destructive cosequences for patients. After implementation of lumbo pelvic specific training, significant differences was gained in pain and movement control that can be the attention of future researchers for helping this persons contemplation and prevention.
