Brief Summary

To compare the effects of static exercises with dynamic core stability on pain and disability in postpartum back pain.

Detailed Description

The study comprised 28 participants. The individuals were subdivided into binary groups, group A performed static exercises and group B performed dynamic exercises including swiss ball, each containing 14 subjects. Baseline treatment (Hot pack, TENS and posture correction) to both groups was given along with core stability exercises. Core stability exercises were performed on both group for 4 weeks. The pretreatment and post treatment tests are measured using the scale VAS (visual analog scale) and Oswestry disability index questionnaire. Both groups have shown the improvement in postpartum lumber pain and an improved in daily life activities. But swiss ball exercises have more significant improvement on pain and disability in patients having postpartum lumber pain.

Intervention Type: OTHER

Participants will be treated with static core muscle exercises that are traditional group of exercises :

1. supine bridge
