Brief Summary

Supervised exercises are the first line therapy for patients with chronic low back pain. The lumbar segmental stabilization (LSE) is a specific training for the muscles of the lumbar spine, which aims to improve neuromuscular control, strength and endurance of the muscles that promotes stability to the spine. The circular dance (CD) belongs to the group of complementary and integrative practices entered in Public Health Care in Brazil, and has been used to improve several aspects related to physical and mental states such as flexibility, posture, strength and muscular endurance, awareness or scheme body, pain control and strains. There are few studies evaluating the circular dance effect on back pain. The aim of this study is to compare the effects of lumbar stabilization exercises and circular dance for improvement in non specific low back pain in middle-aged women.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Change in pain through Pain visual analogue scale

  Scale with 11 centimeters is used for evaluate pain intensity

Secondary Outcomes (6)

• Roland Morris Disability Questionnaire

  Before and after the treatment (immediately after the treatment, and 4 and 16 weeks after treatment)

• Global Perceived Effect Scale

  Before and after the treatment (immediately after the treatment, and 4 and 16 weeks after treatment)

• Beck Depression Inventory

  Before and after the treatment (immediately after the treatment, and 4 and 16 weeks after treatment)

• Visual analogue scale for anxiety

  Before and after the treatment (immediately after the treatment, and 4 and 16 weeks after treatment)

• Medical Outcomes Study 36 - Item Short - Form Health Survey

  Before and after the treatment (immediately after the treatment, and 4 and 16 weeks after treatment)

Study Arms (2)

Lumbar Stabilization Exercise

EXPERIMENTAL

There will be 16 sessions, twice a week, with 40-60 minutes each session. In this arm the participants will learn basic notions about anatomy and biomechanics and the lumbar stabilization technique. They will be evaluated by a pressure biofeedback in the first day that will be used in the training. The lumbar stabilization technique consists of three stages: cognitive, associated and automatic. The biofeedback is used in the first stage and it helps patients to do the best contraction of stabilization muscles in different levels of pressure. Then, in stage two the patients do the contraction without the use of biofeedback and in the last phase different exercises are associated with the contraction of stabilization muscles.

Other: Lumbar Stabilization Exercise

Circular Dance

EXPERIMENTAL

There will be 16 sessions, twice a week, with 60 minutes each session. In this arm the participants will do the exercises in a group of 20 subjects. In every meeting there will be the follow stages: reception, reflection, warming/stretching, explanation about circular dance, choreography orientation, practice and finishing.
