Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to find out the effect of rhythmic stabilisation (RS) on pain and disability on chronic mechanical low back pain (CMLBP). 60 individual who had complaints of CMLBP were randomly assigned to one of the two groups: the RS group (n=30) and conventional group (n=30). The exercise program of the experimental group consisted of RS. The control group performed back muscle strengthening exercises. Over the course of four weeks, the groups participated in or performed strengthening exercises for 30 minutes, 5 times per week. Subjects were assessed a pre-test and post-test using Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and Modified Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability (MOD) Questionnaire. Results: The results showed that low back pain significantly improved in the experimental group, and that the MOD questionnaire significantly decreased. However, there were no significant changes in the control group. Conclusion: This study showed that RS can be used to improve low back pain and disability. The findings indicate that the experimental group experienced greater improvement than the control group by participating in the rhythmic stabilization program.
