Abstract |
Background and Aim: low back pain is one of the most common causes of disability in adults. There are many non-invasive interventions to improve low back pain, the exercise therapy is one of the main approaches. But there is conflicting evidence regarding the effectiveness of different types of training methods. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of 8 weeks of suspension training on pain, core muscle endurance and quality of life in patients with chronic non-specific low back pain. Materials and Methods: 30 women with chronic non-specific low back pain were selected to participate in this study. The degree of pain was measured by the visual analog scale (VAS) index and the core muscle endurance investigate by McGill test. The experimental group then performed suspension exercises for 24 sections and control group did their routine daily activities. Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was used for between group difference’s and paired T test was used for inter groups differences. the alpha was set at p<0.05 Results: The results of T-test showed that there was a significant difference between the pre-test and post-test only in suspensions training group in all of the variables and control; group didn’t show any significant difference in measured variable. Also, the ANCOVA’s results showed that there is a significant difference between the experimental and control groups in the post-test. Conclusion: The results of this study showed that the suspension exercises significantly improve pain and core muscle endurance and quality of life in patients with chronic non-specific low back pain. |
