Abstract
Objective: The study's goal was to determine the impact of isometric back endurance exercises on pain, function and trunk extensor muscles endurance. Methods: Total 60 male patients of ranging in age between 20 to 40 years ago were afflicted with chronic nonspecificlow back pain were divided into two groups, each with an equal number of participants, group A (experimental group) and group B (control group). Prior to the intervention, each subject's VAS, modified Oswestry disability index, and Biering Sorensen test scores were recorded. After that, both sets of participants got a 15-minute hot pack treatment. And then Isometric back endurance exercises were given to group A, as well as conventional exercises (stretching and strengthening exercises), and group B received conventional exercises (stretching and strengthening exercises only) 3 times each week for consecutively 6 weeks. The values of VAS, modified Oswestry disability index, and BieringSorensen test were again measured at the end of 6 weeks. Results: When the baseline values of both groups were compared, it was discovered that a highly significant improvement in pain, function and endurance in group A more than group B. Conclusion: In individuals with chronic low back pain, isometric back endurance exercises were found to be beneficial in decreasing pain and disability while also increasing back extensor endurance.
