简要总结
This study is an observational test-retest study designed to investigate the effect of gender on core strength, balance, spinal mobility, and hamstring flexibility in patients with chronic non-specific low back pain (NS-LBP).
详细描述
Low back pain (LBP) is the primary contributor to years of disability. Individual features (age, physical fitness), psychosocial factors (stress, anxiety, and depression), and occupational factors (hard physical work, bending and twisting motions, and vibration) have all been linked to the development of LBP, which is thought to have a complex etiology.

结局指标
主要结局
Core strength
时间窗: 6 months post-procedure
Measurement of core strength was done with the patient in the crooked lying position. Then, the cuff of the device was held under the lower back of the patient, and the patient was instructed to press against this cuff, tuck his abdomen, and hold the contraction.
次要结局
- Balance control(6 months post-procedure)
- Spinal mobility(6 months post-procedure)
- Hamstring flexibility(6 months post-procedure)
