Effectiveness of Aerobic Exercise Versus Core Stability Exercise on Pain and Function in Patients with Mechanical Low Back Pain - A Quasi Experimental Study
Abstract: Background and Need for Study: Mechanical low back pain (MLBP) is a common problem affecting 40% of the population at some point in their life causes significant disability. The most frequently recommended form of treatment for MLBP is exercise. Aerobic exercises work on general health to improve function in MLBP. Core strengthening exercises (CSE), which can address strengthen the weak muscles. The need of the study was to compare the effects of Aerobic exercise and Core strengthening exercise on MLBP. Aim and Objectives : The aim of the study is to compare the effectiveness of aerobic exercise along with conventional therapy and core strengthening exercise along with conventional therapy in patients with MLBP. Methodology: 30 participants with Mechanical low back pain were allocated into Group A (N=15) Aerobic exercise and Group B(N=15) core strengthening exercise. . Pain and function were taken using the Numerical Pain Rating Scale and Back Pain Functional Scale at baseline and after 4 weeks. Result: The IBM SPSS version 26 was used for the statistical analysis (CI= 95%). The result showed that within-group analysis showed significant improvement in pain and function, but between-group analysis showed aerobic exercise was significantly more effective compared to CSE (p
