Changes in Transversus Abdominis Muscle Thickness, Low Back Pain, and Standing Balance after Foam Roller Exercise in Female Adults: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to compare transversus abdominis muscle thickness and exercise performance before after foam roller (FRex).Methods: This a randomized controlled trial (RCT). Twenty-four adult female subjects were randomly divided into two groups: (1) an intervention group that underwent FRex, (2) control remained in the supine position for same period. Transversus thickness, modified Star Excursion Balance Test (mSEBT) score, degree back pain experienced during daily work measured each using visual analog scale (VAS), within-group comparison conducted value. amount change calculated, correlation between measurement item examined.Results: Pre-intervention post-intervention comparisons revealed significantly greater values lower fiber mSEBT scores, low intervention. A moderate negative found changes VAS scores scores. Moreover, positive noted scores.Conclusions: These results suggest FRex may be beneficial preventing improving balance.
