The effects of stabilizing exercises on pain and disability of patients with lumbar segmental instability.

BACKGROUND DATA Lumbar segmental instability (LSI) is one of the subgroups of non-specific chronic low back pain. Pain, functional disability and reduced muscle endurance are common in such patients. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to determine the effects of stabilization exercise on pain, functional disability and muscle endurance in patients with LSI. METHODS A randomized clinical tr...

Lumbar Segmental Instability and Deformity

Lumbar spine instability develops as a result of a gradual degenerative process. Segmental instability causes chronic low back pain and decreases the quality of life of the patient. The deformity that develops secondary to lumbar instability is seen as coronal and sagittal imbalance. The diagnosis is made with the radiological and clinical findings. Surgery and stabilization is necessary for th...
