“…The rehabilitation programme has been described in detail in an earlier publication (17). The treatment consisted of a 3-day pre-programme, a 5-week home training period, and a 4-week intense inpatient treatment programme.…”

The possible effects of intense physical exercise on the total body stature of low back pain patients were monitored by circadian total body height measurements. The height was measured with a statiometer, and the change in height was correlated with the changes in the range of motion, pain and subjective disability and degree of disc degeneration seen on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) pictures. The stature of 24 low back pain patients was measured during a 3‐week period. There was an increase of about 3 mm in height after only 4 days of exercise, and by the end of the programme the morning height increased on average by 7.2 mm. There were also 12 non‐rehabilitated low back pain patients but no such increase was noted among them. The gain of height and reduction of pain were found to be statistically signigicantly correlated (P=0.0001, r=−0.41), as did the gain of height and teh decrease of back disablity (Oswestry index) (P<0.0001, r=−0.39). Circadian total height measures but not the MR images will change due to the active back rehabilitation programme.

“…Strength exercises resembling the typical pattern of a person's functional movement provides a learning component for the patient [8]. In fact, one of the main reasons for poor results of exercise programs is failure to adequately train the patient in functional activities [24]. Therefore, specifically targeting the lumbar multifidus and transverse abdominis as the major components of stability maintenance over all of the individual's tasks is problematic [77].…”

Aerobic exercise can cause an acute improvement in mood as well as a reduction in the perception of pain from a painful stimulus. Regular exercise training also may offer some protection from depression, is clinically useful in treating certain psychiatric and chronic pain conditions, and may allow for an enhancement of the acute improvements in mood from a single exercise session. The utility of aerobic exercise training for improving mood disturbances and pain perception among patients with chronic pain requires further investigation.
