Summary

This study evaluates efficacy of stabilizing training of deep core muscles in the lumbar spine in degenerative disc disease subjects, considering the progression level of degenerative disc disease: protrusion or extrusion.

Conditions

  • Degenerative Disc Disease
  • Protrusion
  • Extrusion of Migrated Disc
  • Hernia

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Stabilizing training

The training will include the activation of the lumbar multifidus muscle (m. multifudus) and the transverse abdominal muscle (m. transversus abdominis). The performance of the individual stages of the training will be based on Richardson's methodology. One session will comprise 4 sets in which the patient will be asked to do pelvic tilts (draw-in) with simultaneous full exhalation, thus activating the aforementioned muscle groups in different positions: a) prone b) supine with lower extremities flexed c) quadruped d) standing back to the wall. The subjects will perform 3 series consisting of 10 repeats, each of which will last ca. 10 seconds.
