“…Therefore, muscular flexibility and balanced growth of muscular strength are the fundamental elements for of building a correct posture 9 ) . It is necessary to increase muscular strength and muscular endurance of the lumbar region including the abdominal muscular strength and back muscular strength to help maintain correct postures, and this will reduce the dynamic loads on the vertebra and tissues around the spine 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 ) .…”

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to determine how an exercise program focusing on muscular strength could aid firefighters with chronic lower back pain. [Subjects] The research subjects were randomly assigned to two groups, the experimental group (n=8) and the control (n=8). [Methods] The experimental group performed two types of exercise programs four times per week for 8 weeks under supervision. Tests were performed before and after the 8 weeks of exercise in accordance with the Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency’s program. [Results] At the end of the 8 weeks of the rehabilitation program, abdominal muscular strength were significantly increased in the experimental group, and this indicates that the exercise therapy was effective for improvement of muscular strength. [Conclusion] We found that exercise therapy is an effective intervention that can reduce the pain of patients with chronic lower back pain. The firefighters with chronic lower back pain who participated in this study exhibited enhanced lower back muscular strength and obtained some additional benefits. They need regular exercise.

“…Physiotherapy has been reported to be effective in relieving LBP and involves a multidisciplinary approach aimed at regaining function and preventing disability 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 ) . Physiotherapy regimes for management of LBP are varied and include McKenzie lumbar spine exercises, intensive strengthening, manipulation, device-based therapies, and low intensity aerobics 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 ) . Device based therapy for LBP involves quantitative assessment of muscle strength, resistance and lumbar motion and tailoring the rehabilitation protocol based on this objective assessment.…”

[Purpose] Device based therapy for low back pain (LBP) involves quantitative assessment of muscle strength, resistance and lumbar motion and tailoring the rehabilitation protocol based on this objective assessment. The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of device based therapy for LBP. [Subjects and Methods] In this retrospective study, clinical data of 235 patients who underwent device-based physiotherapy for low back pain was reviewed. Pre and post-treatment outcome measures for pain (visual analogue scale or VAS score), disability (Oswestry disability index) and functional ability were compared to determine effectiveness of device-based physiotherapy at the end of 6 weeks of treatment. [Results] All outcome measures including VAS Score and mean Oswestry Disability Score showed significant improvement at the end of 6 weeks of device-based physical therapy. Before treatment, 73% of patients had moderate to severe disability which reduced to 28% after treatment. [Conclusion] Device-based therapy is effective in relieving pain, improving function and reducing disability in patients with low back pain in the short term. Device-based therapy may help to objectively evaluate the function of the spine and paraspinal muscles and help the therapist tailor treatment accordingly.

The purpose of this study is to contribute to the academic basis for the prevention and treatment of back pain for future lumbar disc disease patients by comparing and analyzing the effect of using or not using Pilates equipment on the muscle activity of lumbar disc disease patients and ordinary persons during Pilates Hundred preb and Swimming preb. METHODS: The subjects were 20 female with a mean age of 30-50. In order to measure muscle activity, the surface electromyography (sEMG) was used. Muscles activation were analyzed. RESULTS: All the rectus abdominis (RA), external (EO) and internal oblique (IO) abdominal muscles showed a higher activity in Mat than in Hundred preb using equipment, and especially IO showed a higher activity in ordinary people than in lumbar disc disease patients. All the gluteus medius (Gmed), gluteus maximus (Gmax) and lumbar erector spinae (LES) showed a higher activity in Mat than in Swimming preb using equipment, but there was no significant difference between ordinary people and lumbar disc disease patients. CONCLUSIONS: The muscle activity of all the muscles was found to be higher in ordinary people than in lumbar disc disease patients, and IO muscle showed a significant difference during Hundred, and both Hundred and Swimming preb motions showed a higher muscle activity in Mat. It is considered that abdominal (AB) muscle, RA, Gmed, Gmax and especially IO muscle and transversus abdominis (TrA) need to be strengthened in lumbar disc disease patients and education in Mat would be more effective.
