the effects of core stabilization exercise on Reduce pain, physical function and risk of falling in elderly women with chronic nonspecific low back pain

 Aims and background: Non-specific chronic low back pain is the most common type of chronic low back pain. The use of rehabilitation to achieve a more rapid improvement in patient with chronic low back Pain has always been taken into account.

For this purpose, 40 elderly women patients with non-specific chronic low back pain to selected by convenience sampling in 2 equal groups of 20 patients. The experimental group performed core stability exercises for 4 weeks, every week, and three sessions. In order to assess Reduce pain, physical function and risk of falling of subject, visual analog scale of pain, Functional tests and questionnaires fall risk was used. The data was analyzed using a Anova test with repeated measurements to determine the statistical significance (P≤0.05). Findings: The findings of the present study showed that 12 sessions of core stabilizing exercises reduced pain, increased function and reduced the risk of elderly women with chronic non-specific low back pain in people in the experimental group compared to the controlled group. Conclusion: The results of the present study showed that core stability exercises have a significant effect on reduced pain, physical function and the risk of elderly women suffering from chronic non-specific low back pain.
