Abstract
BACKGROUND: Low back pain is associated with deconditioning of spine and trunk due to lack of core strength and stability. And it remains the second most common symptom related problem among the population. OBJECTIVE: To study the effect of global stability training with Sitfit and Swiss ball in improving the patients with mechanical low back pain. METHODOLOGY: Quasi-experimental research design with simple random sampling was used. Study setting was at KMCH College of Physiotherapy, Coimbatore. Thirty patients were allocated in the study and 10 patients in each group. Group A received conventional physiotherapy whereas Group B received the global stability training with Sitfit and Group C received the global stability training with Swiss ball. Post-test measures were taken after 6 weeks of training. The training was supervised. OUTCOME MEASURES: Pain was assessed using Numerical Pain Rating Scale, Core Endurance was assessed using Core Endurance Test and Functional Disability was assessed using Revised Owstery Low Back Disability Questionnaire. RESULTS: The data was analysed using Two-way ANOVA and paired ‘t’ test at 5% level of significance. The post-test mean value showed improvement in all the three groups, greater improvements were observed in core endurance and values of pain and functional disability were decreased after training. CONCLUSION: This study concluded that all three groups are good in increasing the core endurance and decrease in pain and functional disability but Core stability training with Sitfit showed greater improvement in the pain, core endurance and functional disability among the patients.
