Abstract

The present study is to determine the effect of lumbosacral stabilization exercise program on back pain disorder and gait velocity of patients with chronic low back pain. The subject was extracted randomly from 34 patients with chronic low back pain and divided into 18 patients of experimental group and 16 patients of control group. Before the experiment, the Oswestry disability index examination and analysis of gait speed were performed. Then, a conventional interventional therapy of physiotherapy was performed with the experimental group along with the lumbosacral stabilization exercise while only the conventional interventional therapy was done to the control group. Both groups did the above treatment every 30 minutes, four times a week for four weeks. Then, post-examination was carried out followed by comparing the back pain disorder index and gait velocity before and after the experiment for the two groups. The back pain disorder index showed that both experimental and control groups had significant difference within the group (p>.01)(p>.05), With regard to the gait velocity, both experimental and control groups had a significant difference within the experimental group and between the groups (p>.001)(p>.05).

본 연구는 허리엉치 안정화 운동프로그램이 만성 허리통증환자의 허리통증장애와 보행속도에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 만성 허리통증환자 34명을 대상으로 실험군 18명과 대조군 16명을 무작위 추출 하였다. 실험 전 오스웨스트리-허리통증장애지수(Oswestry disability index) 검사와 보행속도 분석을 한 후, 실험군은 허리엉치 안정화 운동과 함께 물리치료의 전통적 중재 기법을 시행하고 대조군은 전통적 중재 기법만을 주 4회, 하루 30분, 4주간 시행하여 사후검사를 한 후, 집단별 실험 전과 실험 후의 허리통증장애지수와 보행속도를 비교하였다. 허리통증장애지수는 실험군과 대조군의 집단 내에서 유의한 차이가 있었고(p>.01)(p>.05), 보행속도는 실험군 집단 내와 집단간에서 유의한 차이가 있었다(p>.001)(p>.05).
