Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of the resistance exercises combined with oxygen therapy and with sling exercise on the lumbar extension strength, pain and muscle activity in female patients with back pain. By a ssigning 21 patients to HOTMEG(n=11) or SMEG(n=10) groups. 1. The lumbar extension strength increased significantly in both group for 0°, 12°, 24°, 36°, 48°, 60°, and 72° degrees(p＜.001). 2. The pain decreased 53.58 and 23.72% in HOTMEG and SMEG groups, respectively, showing significant difference between two groups(p＜.001). 3. The muscle activity increased in both group without statistical significance although there were significant change in Rt. min and max frequencies(p＜.001, p＜.05). These Results showed that the HOTMEG and SMEG are efficient in increasing lumbar extension strength and muscle activity and decreasing pain in middle-aged female women and that they have potential effects to be presented as an intervention for pain improvement.
