Brief Summary

Lumbar disc herniation, which causes 5% of all low back pain, is the rupture of the annulus fibrosis in the intervertebral disc in the lumbar region and the protrusion of the nucleus pulposus at various degrees, and as a result, the spinal cord or the nerves arising from it are compressed.Aerobic exercise is one of the most important elements in low back pain rehabilitation.Many studies have shown that individuals with low back pain have low muscle strength of the back extensors and flexors when compared to individuals who do not show symptoms, and that these muscles are strong and their aerobic fitness is high, minimizing trauma-related musculoskeletal damage.The aim of this study is to examine the effect of core stabilization exercises on functionality and core muscles in patients with LDH.
