Core Stabilization Exercise

Introduction: Chronic low back pain (CLBP) is one of the most common musculoskeletal disorders and it is documented that >90% of the cases have no defined cause for pain, called nonspecific low back pain (NSLBP). Alteration in the joint position, abnormal posture, and impaired muscle recruitment may result in recurrent CLBP. Lumbar lordosis (LL) provides strength against the compressive forces of gravity and it also protects the posterior spinal ligament and acts as a shock absorber for vertical forces. Increased LL is considered as a reason for radiculopathy, facet pain, and postural pain. Spinal posture and pelvic position were analyzed and documented as altered in CLBP patients. Anatomically, the anterior and posterior tilt of the back and pelvis by the force of different muscles can alter the spinal curvature. Posterior pelvic tilt in a standing position can decrease the LL. The pelvic inclination is related to the lumbar curve, and both are related to the performance and length of the back and abdominal muscles. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to evaluate the effect of core stabilization exercise on pain intensity, functional disability, LL, and pelvic inclination in NSLBP. Methodology: A total of 63 patients aged between 20 and 60 years who met the selection criteria were included. All participants gave their written consent to participate in this study. Demographic data such as age, weight, height, and duration of the back pain were documented. Patients were asked to report their pain using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and Disability in Roland Morris Disability Questionnaire (RMDQ). Exclusion criteria were participants with musculoskeletal disorders (osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis) and a history of previous fractures and systemic diseases. DIERS Formetric 4D spine and posture analyzer were used to assess spinal alignment using the light-optical scanning method on the back of patient in standing position. Angle of LL: the angle formed by the apex of LL and the T12 and L5 spinous processes. Pelvic tilt is the orientation of the pelvis in respect to the thighbones and the rest of the body. Core stabilization exercises were given for 30 min, five days a week, for 12 sessions. Pre- and posttest values were documented and analyzed. Result: In this experimental study, we used Pearson’s correlation coefficient to find the correlation between LL and pelvic inclination angle and found a strong positive correlation (r = 0.76; P = 0.001). The study showed that core stabilization exercise for 12 weeks’ duration had statistically significant reduction in the pain intensity (p < 0.01), functional disability (p < 0.002), LL (p < 0.05), and pelvic inclination angle (p < 0.05) among patients with chronic NSLBP. Conclusion: From this research, we conclude that core stabilization exercises decrease the pain intensity, functional disability, LL, and pelvic inclination angle in patients with chronic NSLBP. Thus, evaluation of the lumbar curvature and pelvic inclination, and designing the appropriate exercise is recommended in the management of NSLBP.

Latar Belakang: Low back pain (LBP) merupakan keadaan nyeri punggung bawah. Nyeri yang timbul pada low back pain bukan merupakan suatu penyakit ataupun diagnosis, melainkan istilah untuk nyeri yang dirasakan di area anatomi yang terkena dengan berbagai variasi lamanya terjadi nyeri. Pada beberapa kejadian nyeri awal dapat berlanjut selama periode 3 bulan dan akhirnya berkembang menjadi chronic low back pain (CLBP). Tujuan: Studi ini adalah untuk mengetahui pengaruh penurunan nyeri setelah diberikan core stabilization exercise (CSE) terhadap chronic low back pain berdasarkan literature yang ada dan mengetahui jenis latihan core stabilization exercise pada chronic low back pain berdasarkan literature yang ada. Metode: Penelitian ini adalah menggunakan studi critical review. Hasil: Dari hasil studi ini ditemukan 8 dari 148 artikel yang sesuai dengan kriteria inklusi. Pada studi ini 8 artikel yang digunakan sebagai landasan studi yang dilanjutkan untuk tahap appraisal. Hasil dari appraisal terdapat 6 artikel memiliki nilai Quartile 1 (Q1) dan 2 artikel yang memiliki nilai Quartile 2 (Q2). Lalu penilaian PEDro scale didaptkan 7 artikel yang memiliki bias rendah > 5 dan 1 artikel memiliki bias yang tinggi ?5. Kesimpulan: Berdasarkan hasil studi yang telah dilakukan pada pengaruh core stabilization exercise terhadap penurunan  nyeri pada chronic low back pain berdasarkan studi pada literature yang ada dapat disimpulkan bahwa core stabilization exercise berpengaruh dalam penurunan nyeri pada chronic low back pain.

Core Stabilization Exercise

This study aimed to analyze the effect of core stabilization exercise compared to general exercise for non-specific low back pain among athletes. There were 16 athletes with non-specific low back pain participated in this study. They were divided randomly into two groups after the screening process: core stabilization exercise group (CSG) and general exercise group (GEG). They were required to finish three sessions per week for six weeks. The pre-test and post-test were recorded using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) and Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Questionnaire (ODQ). The study revealed that the core stabilization exercise group is influential and has significant pain relief (p=0.000) and disability reduced (p=0.001) compared to the general exercise group after six weeks of intervention. This study demonstrated that core stabilization exercise is effective in reducing pain relief and reduce functional disability. Thus, prescribing core stabilization exercise may be beneficial to be used as therapeutic exercises for patients who suffer low back pain as it relieves pain and reduces functional disability.
