About this study

Clinical lumbar instability is the one of causes of chronic low back pain, that affects to pain intensity and quality of life. For clinical studies using core stabilization exercise (CSE) as treatment have revealed conflicting findings on pain, functional disability and muscle responses in chronic low back pain. The CSE promotes local muscle system that to provide lumbar stability. However, the stability of spine related to global muscle system, that using in this study.

Treatment and study plan

Core stabilization exercise

Other

the participants asked to performed CSE program, 20 min/session, 2 session/week, 10 weeks

General Strengthening Exercise

Other

the participants asked to performed GSE program, 20 min/session, 2 session/week, 10 weeks

Primary outcomes

  1. Effect of 2-exercise on quality of life

    Time frame: Change from baseline at 10-week after training session, and follow up session

    health-related quality of life was measured by using SF-36 questionnaire

Secondary outcomes

  1. Effect of 2-exercise on physical disability

    Time frame: Change from baseline at 10-week after training session, and follow up session

    Physical disability was measured by using Oswestry disability index

  2. Effect of 2-exercise on trunk muscle activity

    Time frame: Change from baseline at 10-week after training session, and follow up session

    Trunk muscle activity was measured by using surface EMG

  3. Effect of 2-exercise on lumbar segmental motion

    Time frame: Change from baseline at 10-week after training session, and follow up session

    Lumbar segmental motion was measured by using radiography

  4. Effect of 2-exercise on pain intensity

    Time frame: Change from baseline at 10-week after training session, and follow up session

    Pain intensity was measured by using numeric rating scale
