Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of lumbar stabilization exercise on pain-related function of industrial workers with chronic low back pain and lumbar instability. 20 industrial workers with chronic low back pain were divided into two groups, control group(n=10) and experimental group(n=10). Back muscle strength, flexibility, and balance ability were measured to assess physical functions, and visual analog scale(VAS) was used to evaluate pain levels. In both groups, back muscle strength and balance ability increased significantly, and pain levels decreased significantly. In comparison between the groups, the experimental group compared to the control group showed significant improvement in balance ability and significant diminishment in pain levels. In conclusion, the lumbar stabilization exercise has positive effects on industrial workers with lumbar instability and chronic low back pain by improving balance ability and reducing pain.

본 연구의 목적은 요부안정화운동이 요부 불안정성을 가진 산업체 만성요통환자의 통증관련 기능에 미치는 효과를 알아보고자 하였다. 산업체 만성요통환자 20명을 대상으로 대조군과 실험군으로 10명씩 할당하여 신체기능은 배근력, 유연성, 균형능력을 측정하였고, 통증은 visual analog scale(VAS)를 이용하였다. 연구결과 두군 모두 운동 후 배근력과 균형능력은 유의하게 향상되었고, 통증은 유의하게 감소되었다. 군간 비교에서는 실험군이 대조군에 비해 균형능력이 유의하게 향상되었고, 통증은 유의하게 감소되었다. 결론적으로 요부안정화운동은 요부 불안정성을 가진 산업체 만성요통환자의 균형능력을 향상시키고 통증 감소에 긍정적인 영향을 미친다.
