| ABSTRACT |
|
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of chiropractic and low back exercise on the change of lumbar lordotic angle, low back pain index, and in low back isokinetic strength(Cybex) in low back pain patients. Total 14 subjects were participated in this experiment. 7 subjects were chiropractic treatment and exercise group which executed low back exercise and chiropractic treatment. Other 7 chiropractic subjects executed only chiropractic treatment. The angles of cervical/lumbar curvature had no significant difference between two group after the treatment period. As the trunk flexor isokinetic strength had no significant difference for 60°/sec whereas there was a significant difference for 90°/sec and 120°/sec after the treatment periods(p<.05). The trunk extensor isokinetic strength had a significant difference for 60°, 90°, 120°/sec after the treatment periods. These findings indicate that chiropractic therapy and lumber exercise program could be effective in decrease the low back pain and increase low back strength. But, it suggested that these study need more period to find out which one is more effective way to protect and treatment for low back pain. |
