Intervention Effect of a Novel Core Stability Rehabilitation Training Program on Chronic Non-specific Low Back Pain
Abstract
Background The traditional core stability rehabilitation training has been proven to be effective in improving the rehabilitation in patients with chronic non-specific low back pain (CNSLBP) , but with poor long-term compliance. We independently developed a new core stabilization rehabilitation training program (NO.2021107165452) for CNSLBP patients, but the intervention effects of which are still unclear. Objective To explore the intervention effect of a novel core stabilization rehabilitation training program in CNSLBP patients. Methods Twenty-one male CNSLBP patients were recruited from Guangxi Normal University and Guilin College from December 2021 to January 2022, and randomly divided into an experimental group (n=11) and a control group (n=10) , receiving a six-week intervention using the core stabilization rehabilitation training program independently developed by our research group, and traditional core stability rehabilitation training, respectively. The visual analogue scale (VAS) was used to evaluate the pain level. The Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) was used to evaluate the status of lumbar dysfunction. The Hoggan MicroFET 2 was used to measure muscle force and muscle force signals of the flexor muscles, extensor muscles, and rotatores muscles of the low back. The Y-balance test (YBT) was used to assess the dynamic balance ability. Results The values of VAS and ODI were significantly reduced in both groups after the intervention (P<0.05) , and they were more lower in the experimental group (P<0.05) . The muscle strength of upper abdominal flexors, spinal extensors, spinal left rotators, and spinal right rotators increased significantly in both groups after the intervention (P<0.05) . The left and right YBT scores were increased notably in both groups after the intervention (P<0.05) , and they were more higher in the experimental group (P<0.05) . Conclusion Both kinds of intervention programs could improve the lumbar pain, lumbar dysfunction, the muscle strength of upper abdominal flexors, spinal extensors, and spinal rotators, and dynamic balance in CNSLBP patients, but our core stability rehabilitation training program was more effective in reducing lumbar pain, improving lumbar dysfunction, and enhancing dynamic balance, so this novel program is worth promoting.
