Effect of Graded Activity Exercise, Motor Control Exercise and Conventional Exercise in Non-Specific Low Back Pain: A Comparative Study | Chapter 07 | Emerging Trends in Disease and Health Research Vol. 3

 Background: Nonspecific low back pain (NSLBP) is a bothersome medical disease that can cause a slew of physical, vocational, and emotional issues.

The purpose of this research is to determine and compare the effects of Graded activity exercise (GAEx), Motor control exercise (MCEx), and Conventional exercise (ConvEx) on NSLBP as measured by the Modified Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Index (MOLDI).

Methods: A total of 36 patients were separated into three groups, each with 12 samples, and were assessed using a MOLDI before and after the intervention. GAEx with ConvEx was given to Group A, MCEx with ConvEx was given to Group B, and ConvEx was given to Group C.

Results: A paired samples t-test for difference between Pre- and Post-values within the GAEx group revealed a significant difference with t (11) = 5.62, p =.05. With z = -3.06, p = 0.05 and z = -3.06, p = 0.05, respectively, Wilcoxon signed rank tests for MCEx Pre – post and ConvEx Pre – post interventions were significant. There was no statistically significant change in MOLDI score across treatments, according to a Kruskal-Wallis H test, X2(2) = 4.167, p = > 0.05.

Conclusion: When administered to an NSLBP, MCEx and GAEx have equivalent effects, according to the findings of this study.
