Brief Summary

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

This study evaluates efficacy of stabilizing training of deep core muscles in the lumbar spine in degenerative disc disease subjects, considering the progression level of degenerative disc disease: protrusion or extrusion.

Detailed Description

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

Degenerative disc disease (DDD) is one of the causes of low back pain, and contributes to increasing the socio-economic problem. Depending on the reason for the dysfunction, various classifications describing the level of advancement are used. Literature on the subject commonly uses the division into protrusion and extrusion of the intervertebral disc, as approved by the American Society of Neuroradiology.

Stabilizing training is one of the forms of conservative treatment of lumbar pain, alongside manual treatment or techniques from the field of chiropractics or physiotherapy. It is thought that the proper stabilization of this region of the body is crucial for coping with pain.

Therefore, the aim of the study was to assess the effectiveness of stabilizing training of deep core muscles in the lumbar spine in subjects in the age of 20-35 years, considering the progression level of degenerative disc disease: protrusion or extrusion, on the basis of the clinical condition.

Study Groups

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

Protrusion Group

20 session of stabilizing training based on the principles developed by Richardson over four weeks.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Stabilizing training

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The training will include the activation of the lumbar multifidus muscle (m. multifudus) and the transverse abdominal muscle (m. transversus abdominis). The performance of the individual stages of the training will be based on Richardson's methodology. One session will comprise 4 sets in which the patient will be asked to do pelvic tilts (draw-in) with simultaneous full exhalation, thus activating the aforementioned muscle groups in different positions: a) prone b) supine with lower extremities flexed c) quadruped d) standing back to the wall. The subjects will perform 3 series consisting of 10 repeats, each of which will last ca. 10 seconds.
