ABSTRACT

Objectives :This study was to determine the effects of a sling exercise therapy and motor control exercise program on pain, disability and lumbar strength in patients with chronic low back pain. Methods :24 subjects who were in the patients with chronic low back pain were randomly divided into two groups for trunk muscle training: with sling exercise group(n=12), and motor control exercise group(n=12). but 4 subjects were left out of this study, finally 9 and 11 in each group respectively. All groups were given four-week conventional physical therapy, which was conducted 40 minutes per day, 2 times per week over a 4 week period. sling exercise subjects received Sling exercise program for 40 minutes per day, 2 times per week over a 4 week period. motor control exercise subjects received motor control exercise program for 40 minutes per day, 2 times per week over a 4 week period. Pain, disability and trunk muscle strength are measured to identify the effect of the sling exercise and motor control exercise. Results :For the low back pain, the level of visual analogue scale(VAS) were significantly decreased after compared to before the intervention within sling exercise group and motor control exercise group(p<0.05). For the disability, the level of Oswestry disability index(ODI) were significantly decreased after compared to before the intervention within sling exercise group and motor control exercise group(p<0.05). For the trunk muscle strength were significantly decreased after compared to before the intervention within sling exercise group and motor control exercise group(p<0.05). There was significant pain relief, improvement of disability and trunk muscle strengthening in both group(p<0.05) after 4 weeks. Conclusions :These findings indicate that the both interventions may release pain and improve ADL performance and trunk muscle strength in patients with chronic low back pain.
