Summary

OBJECTIVE: To find and compare the effects of isokinetic training and virtual reality training on pain intensity, trunk muscle strength, radiographical (muscle cross-sectional area and muscle thickness), and biochemical effects in chronic low back pain (LBP) patients.

Conditions

  • Low Back Pain

Interventions

DEVICE

Isokinetic training

The knees were flexed slightly at 15 degrees, and the fixation straps were tied around the popliteus, thigh, pelvis, chest and scapula to prevent the tricky movements.

DEVICE

Virtual reality training

Training was given in the sitting position which provides challenges to the balance activities of the participant. The game which was used in the current study was a shooting game, which consists of the subject sitting on the virtual platform and visualizing the game on the display screen. The game was executed and controlled by moving the trunk back and forth and left and right according to the signs. Participants can perform all the six movements of their spine within their pain limits. The level of difficulty of the exercises was increased by graded activity, in which the activities were gradually getting difficult and harder as participants required more muscle activity and movement.

OTHER

Exercises

They performed these exercises 10-15 reps/day for 5 days per week for 4 weeks. Stretching was focused on each muscle group for 3 repetitions for 10 seconds per muscle group (Hamstring, Hip flexors and Lumbar Extensors).7 A home-based exercise protocol was prescribed to all the subjects to perform at home. All the subjects in three groups were undergone hot pack therapy for 20 mins and ultrasound with a frequency of 1 Mhz and intensity of 1.5 W/cm2 in continuous form for five minutes.
