Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study compares effect of swiss ball exercises with sling suspension exercises in the treatment of juvenile osteochondrosis in adolescent-girls

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

One of the main tasks in the treatment of osteochondrosis related back pain is training trunk stabilizing muscles. This might be achieved by using a sling suspension exercise systems. Redcord is a trademark for Sling Exercise Therapy. Suspension exercise training has been shown to improves functional movement patterns more effectively than traditional exercise by creating a challenging and pain free environment for movement re-training. Another commonly used option in the treatment of juvenile osteochondrosis is Gymball, also known as Swissball core training programmes that are popular trends in physiotherapy and strength and conditioning programs. Benefits of Gymball core training exercises that facilitate spinal stability and balance have often been emphasized by researchers in development of strength and endurance, flexibility, and neuromuscular control as a cost effective and enjoyable way to treat and prevent back pain. Both exercises modes are used in treatment of back pain and muscle training in young people with juvenile osteochondrosis, what is why this study aims to compare Sling Suspension therapy with Gymball exercise in this population.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

Subjects were recruited from an inpatient rehabilitation department, specializing in the treatment of children and adolescents with degenerative disorders. The research population consisted of 40 adolescents-girls, who were diagnosed with juvenile osteochondrosis (according to the International classification of Diseases - ICD M 42.0). All subjects were randomly divided into two groups: Sling Suspension Therapy, and Gymball therapy.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Sling suspension therapy

3-week duration of exercises using red cord and consisting of 15 sessions for 30 minutes each.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Sling suspension using red cord

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

3 weeks duration, 15 sessions, and 30 minutes a day for five consecutive days a week. Back pain, endurance of trunk muscles (flexors, extensors and side flexors), and standing posture were evaluated pre and post interventions.

Swiss ball therapy

3-week duration exercise for trunk muscles strengthening and posture improvement consisting of 15 sessions for 30 minutes each.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Gym ball exercises

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

3 weeks duration, 15 sessions, and 30 minutes a day for five consecutive days a week. Back pain, endurance of trunk muscles (flexors, extensors and side flexors), and standing posture were evaluated pre and post interventions.
