Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate on the lumbar Range of Motion(ROM) and pain with Chronic Low Back Pain(CLBP) used to manipulation and lumbar stabilization exercise for 2 weeks. We introduced Maitland`s manipulation and lumbar stabilization exercise in this study in order to recover the CLBP with pain and lumbar ROM. Forty-eight patients diagnosed with CLBP were included for the study. Among them, twenty-four patients(experimental group) were managed by Maitland`s manipulation and lumbar stabilization exercise, another twenty-four patients(control group) were treated by physical science methods(H/P, TENS, U/S). Each group made use of Visual Analogue Scale(VAS) to pain and tape to lumbar ROM to compare the possible changes of pain and lumbar ROM in two groups after treatment. In experimental group, lumbar ROM has increased in flexion extension, left bending, right bending and pain reduced for 2 weeks. In control group, lumbar ROM has not changed in flexion, extension, left bending, right bending and pain has reduced for 2 weeks. According to the results, we concluded that Maitland`s manipulation and lumbar stabilization exercise for 2 weeks is effective for increasing lumbar ROM and reducing pain by making joints normal position in lumbar vertebrae and lumbar stabilization in spinal muscles.
