Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to compare the effects of brunkow exercise program and lumbar stabilization exercises on pain, range of motion and disability in patients with chronic non- specific low back pain

Conditions

Chronic Low-back Pain; Non Specific Low Back Pain

Keywords

Brunkow exercise; Disability; non-specific low back pain; pain; range of motion

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Numeric rating scale (NRS-11)

  It is is an eleven-point scale in which the end points are the extremes of no pain at all (score of 0) and the worst pain the patient has ever experienced (score of 10). NRS-11 pain severity score of "4" is frequently given special significance in this regard, suggesting it as a potential threshold value for pain severity in clinical practice. (28). This scale has high reliability (0.95-0.96) and validity (0.86-0.96).

  4 weeks

• Modified oswestry disability index

  The ODI is a disease-specific disability measure is used to establish a level of disability, stage a patient's acuity status and monitor change over time. The ODI is made up of 10 questions. Each question is scored from 0-5 (minimum to maximum). This tool is considered as a gold standard for back pain functional. Test-retest reliability has been shown to be high. Values range from r= 0.83 to 0.99 and vary according to the time interval between measurements. ODI = (Sum of items scored/Sum of sections answered) X 100

  4 weeks

• Inclinometer

  Inclinometers are portable, lightweight, and inexpensive pieces of equipment that are used to measure range of motion, like goniometry.1 Inclinometers are typically found in clinics and are used as a part of a physical examination. An intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was found to be between 0.87- 0.95. Range of motion is the measurement of movement around a specific joint or body part.
