A Comparative Study On Effectiveness Of Core Muscle Strengthening Exercises Vs Pelvic Floor Muscle Strengthening Exercises For Lower Back Pain Patient
Keywords:
N\AAbstract
Background: Low back pain (LBP) is a public and occupational health issue.i.e A huge professional, financial, and social burden. Exercise is frequently used in treatment of chronic low back pain, especially the core stabilizing muscles training including pelvic floor muscle. This study will provide insights into the potential benefit of incorporating core and pelvic floor muscle group strengthening exercises into rehabilitation programme . [Aim] To compare the effectiveness of pelvic floor muscles with core muscles in lower back pain patients. [After approval of the Institutional Ethics Committee. (I.E.C)]
Method: Patients between the age group of 20-35 years having non-specific low back pain were selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Two outcome measures were taken, VAS for pain assessment and ODI for functional disabilities in daily routine activities. The study was done over a sample size of 30 patients which included both male and female patients among the age group of 20 – 35 years suffering from non-specific low back pain. They were divided in two groups where Group A(n-15) received PFSE and Group B (n-15) received CSE. Random sampling method used for selection of patients. Duration of study was 15 weeks.
Results: The result proved significant enhancement in both the groups but Group B who received CSE had a higher effectiveness as well as efficiency with VAS (P<0.001) AND ODI (p<0.001) as compared to Group A in terms of pain and functional disability. In this individual, CSE considerably decreases the severity of back pain.
Conclusion: although there is significant difference in intensity of low back pain in both the groups but CSE shows more remarkable and effective results compared to PFMSE and improves functional disabilities and quality of life of individual.
