Effect of Core Stabilization Exercise for Non-Specific Low Back Pain among Athletes
DOI:
Abstract
This study aimed to analyze the effect of core stabilization exercise compared to general exercise for non-specific low back pain among athletes. There were 16 athletes with non-specific low back pain participated in this study. They were divided randomly into two groups after the screening process: core stabilization exercise group (CSG) and general exercise group (GEG). They were required to finish three sessions per week for six weeks. The pre-test and post-test were recorded using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) and Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Questionnaire (ODQ). The study revealed that the core stabilization exercise group is influential and has significant pain relief (p=0.000) and disability reduced (p=0.001) compared to the general exercise group after six weeks of intervention. This study demonstrated that core stabilization exercise is effective in reducing pain relief and reduce functional disability. Thus, prescribing core stabilization exercise may be beneficial to be used as therapeutic exercises for patients who suffer low back pain as it relieves pain and reduces functional disability.
