A Comparative Study to Analyze the Effect of Lumbar Stabilization and Conventional Back Extension Exercises on Mechanical Pain in Patients with Chronic Low Back Pain in Greater Noida

Abstract

Lumbar discomfort is a major problem due to its harmful effects on health and high frequency in the general population. Depending on where and how long the pain lasts, there are three general categorizations for Lumbar discomfort: acute less than 6 weeks, sub-acute 6 to 12 weeks, and chronic more than 12 weeks. Several theories concerning the cause of nonspecific LBP feature poor posture, low body mass, hamstring flexibility, psychological discomfort, diminished trunk extensor endurance, and faulty muscular control of trunk. Pain in the lower back is a challenging illness which can result from injuries pertaining to the muscles and ligaments providing support vertebral column or from overuse or strain. One common treatment method for Lumbar discomfort is exercise therapy. This includes diverse forms of therapies including muscular strengthening, several forms of flexibility and stretching, and cardiovascular exercise for overall physical fitness. Normally, the stabilization system's job is to give the spine enough stability to meet the demands of changing circumstances immediately due to the posture changes with static and dynamic loads. As Per traditional understanding, spinal stabilization primarily relies on spinal biomechanics, the intervertebral disc, spinal ligaments, and osseous components. The stabilization and mobility of the lumbar spine can be facilitated by any muscle that exits the lumbar region. However, according to certain research, the lumbar multifidus and transverses abdominis muscles are very crucial for the stability of the lumbar segment. There is preliminary data indicating that those with long-term Lumbar discomfort do not properly recruit their core muscles and display core weakness13. Standard Exercise for back extension and exercises for lumbar stability both are used to treat low back discomfort. Thus, an effort is undertaken to compare and investigate the benefits of traditional back extension exercises and lumbar stabilization activities in patients with chronic Lumbar discomfort.
