Summary

This study aimed to investigate whether a three-dimensional nuchal exercise program is associated with changes in pelvic alignment and low back pain in adults.

Thirty participants with low back pain performed a structured cervical exercise program for four weeks, including horizontal, sagittal, and diagonal movements. Pelvic tilt angle and pain intensity were measured before and after the intervention.

The findings of this study may provide preliminary evidence supporting a potential relationship between cervical movement and pelvic alignment, contributing to the understanding of regional interdependence in musculoskeletal rehabilitation.

Conditions

  • Low Back Pain
  • Pelvic Malalignment
  • Postural Imbalance

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Three-Dimensional Nuchal Exercise Program

A structured cervical exercise program consisting of three components: horizontal rotation, sagittal flexion-extension, and diagonal (star-pattern) movements. Participants performed 20 repetitions for each movement while maintaining an upright posture. The program was performed over a four-week period.
