The study was designed to compare the effects of a 4-week chiropractic treatment and a 4-week low back rehabilitation exercise program on sEMG, foot pressure and MVAS in low back pain patients. Sixteen patients as a subject were volunteered to participate in the study and were randomly assigned to one of two groups, i.e., chiropractic treatment group(CP: n=8) and low back rehabilitation exercise group(RE: n=8), respectively. The data collected in the pre and post tests at the CP and RE group was analyzed by utilizing RMD two-way ANOVA. The results obtained in the present study were as follows: 1) The both sides muscle activity difference was statistically significant(P<.05) de-crease on latissimus dorsi, spinalis, and longissimus in the CP group. There were statistically significant(P<.05) de-crease latissimus dorsi, spinalis , longissimus, and iliocosta-lis in the RE group. 2) The foot pressure was statistically significant(P<.05) decrease in the CP group and the RE group. 3) After low back treatment, Modified Visual Analogue Scale in low back pain patients were significant differences in statistically(P<.001). In conclusion, chiropractic treatment and low back stretching exercise were beneficial for low back resting muscle activity, foot pressure, and modified visual analogue scale in low back pain patients.
