| Objective: To observe the clinical effect of McKenzie therapy combined with lumbar core muscle strength training in the treatment of lumbar disc herniation (LDH). Methods: Eighty patients with lumbar intervertebral disc herniation were randomly divided into control group and observation group, 40 cases in each group. Both groups were given routine rehabilitation treatment, including traction and ultrashort wave therapy. The observation group received 4 weeks of McKenzie therapy and core muscle strength training additionally. Oswestry Lower Back Dysfunction Index (ODI), Pain Visual Analogue Score (VAS) and clinical efficacy were evaluated before and after treatment. Results: After treatment, the ODI and VAS scores in the two groups were significantly lower than those before treatment (P<0.05), and those in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P<0.05). The clinical efficacy rate in the observation group was 92.50%, significantly higher than that in the control group (77.50%, P<0.05). Conclusion: Mckenzie therapy combined with lumbar core muscle strength training has better curative effect on lumbar intervertebral disc herniation. The treatment cycle is short and the effect is quick. It is worthy of clinical application. |
