Lumbar Stabilization Exercises in Adult Patients With Lumbar Arthrodesis Surgery

Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine which type of lumbar stabilization exercise is more effective to improve functionality and reduce pain in patients operated with lumbar arthrodesis, to guide clinical practice in the rehabilitation of these patients.

Conditions

• Arthrosis; Spine
• Spinal Stenosis Lumbar

Interventions

OTHER

Experimental: Local Stabilization Exercise

Inpatient phase (3-5 days): Day 1: lower limbs active mobilization on bed, abdominal breathing exercises, full body block twists. Day 2: manual transversus a. activation exercises, multifidus cross activation exercise, sitting on the edge of the bed. Day 3: bipedal stance, supervised gait reeducation, home care education, medical and physical therapy discharge with instructions. Outpatient phase:4th-6th week: hot compress + electrotherapy IFT (fr: 4kHz, AMF 100Hz, modulation 20Hz, 20 mins), stabilizer training. Hamstring, quadriceps, gluteus maximus and psoas stretching, stationary bicycle without load. 7th-9th week: stabilizer training elevating a leg, stationary bicycle low load. 10th-12th week: 1kg to elevated leg on stabilizer training, stationary bicycle moderate load.

OTHER

Experimental: Global Stabilization Exercise

Inpatient phase (3-5 days): Day 1: lower limbs active mobilization on bed, abdominal breathing exercises, full body block twists. Day 2: add obliques cross exercises in supine with contralateral leg, lumbopelvic bridge exercises, sitting on the edge of the bed. Day 3: add bipedal stance, supervised gait reeducation, home care education, medical and physical therapy discharge with instructions. Outpatient phase: physiotherapy: 4th-6th week: hot compress + electrotherapy IFT, lumbopelvic bridge exercises, obliques cross exercises. Hamstring, quadriceps, gluteus maximus and medius stretching, stationary bicycle without load. 7th-9th week: FST, global exercises, stationary bicycle low load. 10th-12th week: physiotherapy, side plank, unilateral bridge, stationary bicycle moderate load.

OTHER

Experimental: Mixed Stabilization Exercise

Inpatient phase (3-5 days): Day 1: lower limbs active mobilization on bed, abdominal breathing exercises, full body block twists. Day 2: manual transversus abdominis activation exercises, multifidus cross activation exercise, sitting on the edge of the bed. Day 3: bipedal stance, supervised gait reeducation, home care education, medical and physical therapy discharge with instructions. 4th-6th week: hot compress + electrotherapy IFT, stabilizer training, hamstring, quadriceps, gluteus maximus and medius stretching, stationary bicycle without load. 7th-9th week: FST, global exercises, change stationary bicycle load to low load. 10th-12th week: physiotherapy, advanced global exercise (side plank), unilateral bridge,stationary bicycle moderate load.
