“… 2 In Toprak’s study, 56 university students were randomly allocated to exercise or control groups, and significant differences were observed for postural pain, thoracic and lumbar curvature, and other parameters in the exercise group between baseline and after treatment. 14 Kadono’s study also confirmed that stretching exercise can increase lumbar lordosis angle. 15 Moreover, patients with degenerative disc disease were confirmed to have lower lumbar lordosis and more vertical sacral profiles.…”

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of core stability exercise versus conventional exercise in the treatment of lumbar spinal stenosis.Methods:Between January 2014 and May 2017, patients with lumbar spinal stenosis were recruited and divided into group of core stability exercise or conventional exercise randomly. All the patients were treated using middle frequency electrotherapy, in addition to that, the patients in group of core stability exercise were treated using core stability exercise. The patients in group of conventional exercise were treated using conventional exercise. The outcome was evaluated using Japanese Orthopedic Association (JOA) score, self-reported walking capacity and lumbar lordosis angle at baseline and after treatment.Results:In the current study, sixty-two patients with lumbar spinal stenosis met the inclusion and exclusion criteria, in which 33 patients were included in group of core stability exercise and 29 in group of conventional exercise. After treatment, both Japanese Orthopedic Association scores (p<0.05) and self-reported walking capacity (p<0.05) increased significantly in each group when compared with baseline. The self-reported walking capacity and JOA scores in the group of core stability exercise were significantly higher than those in the conventional exercise group (p<0.05). However, both the intragroup and intergroup comparison of lumbar lordosis presented with no significance (p>0.05).Conclusion:Core stability exercise presents with better efficacy than conventional exercise in the treatment of lumbar spinal stenosis.

“…Exercises can increase the activation of paravertebral muscles, improve the stability and coordination of lumbar spine, improve lumbar lordosis angle and adjust the lumbar alignment and subsequently it can result in the relief of nerve compression, and the symptoms including pain and disability are improved in patients with LSS. 2 , 14 , 15 Compared with exercise therapy, lumbar decompressive laminectomies can relieve pain immediately, but it can’t strengthen the power of muscles and flexibility of joints. In addition, surgical procedures may damage the paravertebral muscles, decrease the muscle power and adversely affect the lumbar alignment.…”

Objective:To compare the effectiveness of exercise therapy with surgery for lumbar spinal stenosis.Methods:Five English databases PubMed, the Cochrane Library, Web of science, OVID and PEDro database were searched for randomized controlled trials comparing surgical procedures with exercise therapy for lumbar spinal stenosis. Information on patients, study design, inclusion criteria, intervention and follow-up, outcomes, treatment details and adverse events were extracted. Meta-analysis was performed using Review Manager Version 5.3.Results:Two randomized controlled trials and one mixed design trial with a total of 897 patients were included. The pooled results showed a significant difference between exercise and surgery in Oswestry Disability Index at two years (MD= 3.85, 95%CI: 0.48 to 7.22; P=0.03), but no significant difference at six months (MD= 2.18, 95%CI: -2.80 to 7.17; P=0.39) and one year (MD= 4.26, 95%CI: -1.79 to 10.32; P=0.17). In terms of physical function of 36 Items Short Form Health Survey, there were no significant differences between exercise and surgery at six months (MD= -2.23, 95% CI: -7.46 to 2.99; P=0.40), one year (MD= -2.17, 95% CI: -7.44 to 3.10; P=0.42) and two years (MD= -0.67, 95% CI: -6.16 to 4.82; P=0.81).Conclusion:In brief, the current evidence demonstrated a trend that exercise therapy had a similar effect for lumbar spinal stenosis compared with decompressive laminectomies. However, for the small sample size and low methodology quality of the included trials, some rigorously designed and large-scaled RCTs need to be performed to confirm the conclusion.

The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of Pilates exercise program on health-related quality of life, pain, functional level, and depression status in university students. Design and Methods: The exercise programs were carried out for 12 weeks. The scales of Nottingham Health Profile, Visual Analog Scale, Oswestry Disability Index, and Beck Depression Inventory were used at the baseline and after training. Findings: Exercise should be encouraged to reduce pain and depression and improve the quality of life in healthy university students. Both Pilates and therapeutic exercises approach can be preferred. Practice Implications: The results of this study show the inability to identify clear different effects from therapeutic exercises on university students for Pilates exercises.
