Aims: There are no specific goals. Low back pain is characterised as discomfort without a recognised cause that affects practically every major occupation where the body's uncomfortable posture, twisting, and stress factors are common, and it affects 60 percent to 70 percent of people every year. Various exercise regimens have been proven to have individual effects on the same in studies, although the superiority of one programme over another is unclear.
The study was designed as a comparative study.
Study location and duration: Ahmedabad Institute of Medical Sciences, 2013-15. The goal of this study was to evaluate and compare the effects of core stability exercise, back school, and Swiss ball exercise on pain, core endurance, and functional impairment.
Methodology: A total of 24 individuals with non-specific low back pain between the ages of 18 and 40 were randomly assigned to two groups. Traditional exercise was given to Group A(n=12), while Swiss ball exercise was given to Group B(n=12). The participants were given treatment for two weeks. On day one and at the conclusion of two weeks, baseline data for VAS, Core endurance, and MODI were collected.
Within both groups, the findings were evaluated using the Wilcoxon signed rank test. After two weeks, both groups exhibited significant improvements in VAS, core endurance, and MODI. The Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare Group A with Group B, and there was no statistically significant difference in VAS, core endurance, or MODI between the two groups.
Conclusion: Both exercises are equally helpful in reducing pain intensity, improving core endurance, and improving functional status in participants with nonspecific low back pain, according to the study.
