简要总结
Low Back Pain is a common musculoskeletal condition that is often associated with impaired Core Muscle function and reduced postural stability. Inspiratory muscle training has been shown to influence trunk muscle activation and spinal stability through its effect on the diaphragm and core musculature.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of inspiratory muscle training in addition to conventional low back pain exercises on core muscle activity and postural stability in individuals with non-specific low back pain. A total of 36 individuals with non-specific low back pain aged 20 to 40 will be randomly allocated into 2 groups. The experimental group will receive Inspiratory muscle training along with conventional low back pain exercises, while the control group will receive sham inspiratory muscle training along with conventional low back pain exercises.
Outcome measures include postural stability will be assessed using center of pressure displacement and core muscle activity will be assessed using electromyography. Inspiratory muscle strength, pain intensity and functional disability will also be evaluated. The outcome assessor will be blinded to group allocation. Descriptive and exploratory statistical analyses will be performed to compare both groups.
