Methods: A total of 119 patients (male, 52; female, 67) with spinal disorders over the age of 45 years who weretreated for back pain in orthopedic surgery, neurosurgery, and pain clinic. It was divided into Williams exercise group(WE group, n=61) and McKenzie exercise group (ME group, n=58), and the trained exercise program was performedfor 8 weeks. Twice a day, exercise for at least 30 minutes. Measurement tools include the visual analog scale(VAS) and Oswestry Disability Index (ODI).
Results: Both the WE and ME groups showed a statistically significant decrease in VAS and ODI scores. In thecase of ODI, the ME group showed more effect. In detail, the WE group had a greater exercise effect on the‘standing’ and ‘walking’ items, and the ME group had a greater exercise effect on the ‘sitting’ and ‘sleeping’ items.
Conclusion: Williams exercise and McKenzie exercise for 8 weeks in patients with chronic low back pain have aneffect on the patients’ subjective pain and ODI. In particular, Williams exercise can be recommended for patientswho have difficulty standing or walking.
