No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This study investigates whether the effects of core muscle strengthening exercises on chronic low back pain and deep back muscle (multifidus) thickness differ in patients with different baseline muscle thicknesses. Pain levels will be measured before and after a 6-month exercise program in patients with different baseline muscle thicknesses. The aim is to determine whether the exercises are more or less effective depending on the baseline condition of these muscles. Understanding this may help personalize exercise treatments for chronic low back pain based on individual muscle characteristics.

Conditions

  • Back Pain Lower Back Chronic
  • Lumbar Disc Degenerative Disease

Interventions

OTHER

core stabilitation exercises

The core stabilization exercise program aimed to strengthen deep spinal muscles: transversus abdominis (abdominal bracing), multifidus (segmental stability), and pelvic floor muscles (pelvic support). Participants received videotaped instructions for performing these exercises at home regularly for 6 months, with a gradual increase in difficulty.
