|
Purpose: The aim of this study was to compare the effect of low back pain disability and balance after applyingthe abdominal drawing-in maneuver to the industrial workers with chronic back pain .
Methods: Sixteen healthy industrial workers(42.68±4.15) with chronic back pain a participated in the study.
Subjects were divided into two groups. Control group(n = 8) applied lumbar flexibility exercise. Abdominaldrawing-in maneuver group(n = 8) applied lumbar stabilization exercise using abdominal drawing-in maneuverthree times a week during 6weeks. All tests were completed pre and post the intervention. The low back paindisability was measured using Korean Oswestry Disability Index(KODI). The balance ability was measured bycomputerized balance measurement equipment.
Results: There were significant improvements in the KODI and balance ability test of those who applied theabdominal drawing-in maneuver group(p<.05), while the control group showed no significant changes(p>.05).
In addition, the abdominal drawing-in maneuver group had a statistically significant difference in KODI andbalance ability compared to the control group(p<.05).
Conclusion: The above results revealed that abdominal drawing-in maneuver is effective in improvement ofthe KODI and balance ability in industrial workers with chronic back pain.
