Objective: To observe the clinical effectiveness of lumbar stabilization exercises and kinesio taping therapy for chronic non specific low back pain (NLBP). Methods: Thirty eight patients with chronic NLBP participated in this study, and randomly assigned to control group or observation group (19 subjects in each group). In addition to conventional treatment, the patients in the observation group were given lumbar stabilization exercises and kinesio taping therapy at home. Patients were evaluated with standard questionnaires including visual analogue (VAS) and the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) before and 4 weeks after treatment. Results: After treatment for 4 weeks, the scores of VAS and ODI in both groups were obviously lower than those before treatment (P<0.05). VAS and ODI scores in observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P<0.05).Conclusion: The curative efficacy of lumbar stabilization exercises and kinesio taping therapy for chronic NLBP was effective apparently. Lumbar stabilization exercises combined with kinesio taping can significantly improve the painful and functional status in patients with chronic NLBP. |
