Aims: Non specific Low back pain is defined as pain without any known pathology which affects almost all the leading occupation where body's awkward posture, twisting and stress forces are commonly encountered across the globe and it is highly prevalent 60% to 70% in a year. Studies have shown various exercise regimen individual effect on the same but superiority of regimen out of these is not clear. Study Design: Comparative Study Place and Duration of Study: Ahmedabad Institute of Medical Sciences, Duration 2013-15 Objective: To assess and compare the effect of core stability exercise, back school program and Swiss ball exercise on Pain, core endurance and Functional disability. Methodology: A group of 24 patients having non-specific low back pain between age groups 18-40 were randomly selected and allocated in to two groups. Group A(n=12) received traditional exercise whereas Swiss ball exercise was given to Group B(n=12). The subjects were treated for two weeks. Baseline data for VAS, Core endurance and MODI were taken on day1 and at the end of two weeks Result: The results were analyzed by wilcoxon signed rank test within both groups. Both groups showed significant improvement in VAS, core endurance and MODI at the end of 2weeks.Comparison between both the Group A and Group B was done by Mann- whitney U test and statistically no significant difference was seen in VAS, core endurance and MODI between the groups Conclusion: The study concluded that both the exercises are equally effective in reducing pain intensity, improves core endurance and functional status in subjects with non specific low back pain

Abstract Objectives: The objective of the study was to determine the effects of static exercise program verses Swiss ball training for core muscles of the lower back and pelvic region in patients with low back pain after child delivery. Methods: This was a prospective single blind randomized control trial conducted on a sample of 30 patients with low back pain from March 2018to December 2018. Patients were divided into 2 groups through seal envelop method i.e. static core exercises group (n=15) and Swiss ball training group (n=15). The outcome measures used for this study were numeric pain rating scale (NPRS), Oswestry disability index (ODI), goniometry and Core stability assessment scale. Data was analyzed by SPSS 21. Results: The mean age of patients in static core exercises group was 28.38 ± 4.8 years and mean age of Swiss Ball training group was 29.57 ± 3.3 years. Between group analysis showed non-significant difference whereas within group analysis showed significant improvement at post intervention. Conclusions: Both groups showed significant difference in reduction of pain (NPRS), in disability level due to LBP (ODI), better ROM flexion/extension of lumbar and achieving better strength at core stability assessment scale (CSA). These findings suggest that both exercise protocols are equally effective in rehabilitation of postpartum low back pain.

ABSTRACTBackground: Non-specific low back pains are low back pain caused by disorders or abnormalities in the musculoskeletal element without the presence of neurological disorders that can arise due to potential tissue damage leading to range of motion limitations and decreased functional activity. Objective: To prove that the addition of Swiss ball to core stability exercise and core stability exercise can improve the range of motion and functional activity in female farmers with non-specific low back pain in Tomohon City. Method: This research used true experimental method, with pre-test and post-test group design. This study used 18 subjects divided into 2 groups, Treatment Group I with core stability exercise and Treatment Group II addition of Swiss ball on core stability exercise. Both treatment groups were given training 3 times a week for 4 weeks. The measuring instrument used to measure lumbar LGS is the modified-modified Schober test and lumbar disability is a modified Oswestry disability index. Results: For the result of paired sample t-test of treatment group I LGS flexion and extension obtained p = 0.000 (p <0.05) and treatment group II LGS flexion and extension obtained result p = 0.000 (p <0.05). The decrease of modified ODI value in treatment group I obtained p = 0.000 (p <0.05) and treatment group II was obtained p = 0.000 (<0.05). The independent t-test results showed LGS flexion in treatment group I with p = 0.879 (> 0.05). The value of LGS extension in treatment group I with p value = 0.733 (> 0.05). The result of hypothesis test showed that the decrease of lumbar disability can be evaluated modified ODI in treatment group I with p = 0.891 (> 0.05). Conclusions: There is no statistically different Swiss ball addition to the core stability exercise and core stability exercise in increasing the range of motion and functional activity in female farmers with non-specific low back pain. Keywords: Non-specific low back pain, Swiss ball, core stability exercise, modified-modified Schober test, modified Oswestry disability index.

Abstract Objective: To determine the effects of an exercise programme for core muscle strengthening in patients with low back pain after caesarean section. Method: The single-blind randomised controlled trail was conducted from August 2018 to January 2019 at the Helping Hand for Relief and Development Comprehensive Rehabilitation Centre, Chakwal, Pakistan, and comprised post-caesarean section women aged 25-40 years with low back pain. Patients were randomised into supervised group I and unsupervised group II using the sealed envelope method. Group I received supervised core stability exercise programme, while group II received unsupervised, home-based core stability exercise programme. Baseline and post-intervention values were compared for numeric pain rating scale, Oswestry disability index, inclinometer and core stability assessment. Data was analysed using SPSS 21. Results: Of the 30 subjects, there were 15(50%) in each of the two groups. There was no significant difference at baseline between the groups (p>0.05). Post-intervention results showed significant intra-group and inter-group differences (p<0.05) with respect to all parameters. No improvement was observed for right and left side bending (p>0.05). Conclusion: Supervised core stability exercise programme was more effective in reducing pain and disability, and improved core muscle activation than unsupervised, home-based core exercise programme.
