Abstract

The purpose of the study was to evaluate the lumbar mobility and flexibility by the vertical vibration stimulation. The subjects were 21 young adults were divided into vibration group (n = 7) that applied 30 Hz vibration stimulation to the lumbar, foam roller group (n = 7) that relaxes the lumbar muscles with a foam roller, and good morning exercise group (n = 7) that stimulates the lumbar spine with the good morning exercise. The muscle strength, EMG and the sit & reach test were measured, to evaluate the lumbar mobility and flexibility before and after exercise intervention in each group. Results showed increasing in the vibrating group in muscle strength and EMG, and the good morning group and the vibrating group in the Sit & Reach test. This can be developed as a new alternative to exercise therapy for spine rehabilitation.
