Introduction. Low back pain (LBP) is a global health problem and it concerns approximately 80% of population of the definite age period. Physical therapy (PT) has a systemic effect on the body and it is one of the main methods of increasing the level of non-specific resistance, correction of locomotor disorders. The influence of PT on the formation of persistent remission has not been studied enough. Aim: is to evaluate the anti-relapse effect of physical therapy methods in patients with LBP. Comparative Study. Methods. In the study, 2 groups were formed, the main group (52 people), whose patients, along with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), muscle relaxants, and physiotherapy, received individual courses of physical therapy, including independent classes. In the control group (49 people), patients who refused physical therapy and other types of additional physical activity received only medication and physiotherapy. The study of the effectiveness of therapy included neuroorthopedic examination with the calculation of the integral indicator (II) in points. Results. The groups were comparable by gender, age, and clinical manifestations of the disease. In statistical analysis, the subjective assessment of wellbeing, at the initial level, after 3 months and 12 months-at the end of treatment, which did not differ in the groups at the beginning of the study, became significantly higher in the main group (p 0.000001) during follow-up for a year. The subjective assessment of pain by visual-analog scale (VAS) also significantly decreased (p 0.000001). The integral indicator of biomechanical disorders was significantly lower at the end of the course of treatment, as well as during the catamnestic study in the main group (p 0.000001). Conclusion. The study showed a high significance of exercise therapy in the complex of rehabilitation measures aimed at preventing LBP, modulating both subjective well-being and the course of the pathological process, extending the period of remission and correcting pain and biomechanical manifestations.

ABSTRACT Low back pain ( LBP ) is a musculoskeletal disorder that occurs in the lower back which can be caused by various diseases and  activity of the body being less good. One effort to overcome the LBP is back exercise. The research purpose is to find out the effect of back exercise therapy which concern to lowering painful complaint of batik artisants in Kauman village Sokaraja subsdistrict. This research is using Quasi Experiment technique phenomenological non equivalen control group design (pre -post test). Sample taking is using purposive sampling technique. Data analysis use Friedman experiment for treatment group and Repeated Annova experiment for control group. Experiment analysis is different between treatment group and control group with using Mann Whitney experiment. The result of Friedman experiment in treatment group shows that p-value=0,000(p<0,05), it means the therapy those given is effective to lowering painful complaint. The result of Repeated Annova experiment in control group shows that p-value=0,234(p>0,05), it means the painful complaint seems not different in control group. The result of Mann Whitney experiment shows that p-value=0,000(p<0,05) it means there are differences between painful complaint in treatment group and control group after doing back exercise. There is the effect by giving back exercise therapy which concern to lowering the complaint of low back pain for batik artisants in Kauman village Sokaraja subdistrict.   Key words: Handmade Batik, Low back pain, back exercise

Abstract Objective To compare the effect of supervised physical therapy versus video-assisted technique in patients with chronic mechanical low back pain. Materials and Methods This is a comparative study. Forty-two patients were recruited in the study where they were randomized by simple random sampling. Group A (n = 21) received supervised physical therapy, and Group B (n = 21) received the video-assisted technique. The intervention was given 45 minutes per day for 15 days. The measures of visual analog scale (VAS) and Roland–Morris Disability Questionnaire (RMQ) were taken both at baseline and after 15 days of intervention. Results Comparison between the two groups using Mann–Whitney U test, supervised physiotherapy group showed significant improvement in VAS on activity, RMQ, and RMQ percentage (p < 0.005). However, Group A, VAS on rest was not significant (p > 0.005). Conclusion Supervised physical therapy is effective in reducing pain on activity and improved the disability of patients with chronic mechanical low back pain than the video-assisted technique.

Posture is commonly perceived as the relationship between the segments of the human body upright. Certain parts of the body such as the cephalic extremity, neck, torso, upper and lower limbs are involved in the final posture of the body. Musculoskeletal instabilities and reduced postural control lead to the installation of nonstructural posture deviations in all 3 anatomical planes. When we talk about the sagittal plane, it was concluded that there are 4 main types of posture deviation: hyperlordotic posture, kyphotic posture, rectitude and "sway-back" posture.Pilates method has become in the last decade a much more popular formof exercise used in rehabilitation. The Pilates method is frequently prescribed to people with low back pain due to their orientation on the stabilizing muscles of the pelvis. Pilates exercise is thus theorized to help reactivate the muscles and, by doingso, increases lumbar support, reduces pain, and improves body alignment.
