Area of Science:

  • Rehabilitation Medicine
  • Sports Medicine
  • Physical Therapy

Background:

  • Chronic low back pain (CLBP) presents a significant public health challenge due to its impact on daily function.
  • Functional rehabilitation is a cornerstone in managing CLBP.
  • Understanding the efficacy of different rehabilitation protocols is crucial for optimizing patient outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the effectiveness of isokinetic rehabilitation versus conventional rehabilitation.
  • To evaluate the changes in muscle strength of spinal extensors and flexors in CLBP patients.
  • To assess the impact of these protocols on muscular endurance and strength.

Main Methods:

  • A prospective, comparative study involving 50 CLBP patients.
  • Patients were randomly assigned to either an isokinetic rehabilitation group (G1) or a conventional physiotherapy group (G2).

  • Clinical (Sorensen, Shirado tests) and isokinetic evaluations of trunk muscles were performed pre- and post-intervention.

    • Main Results:

    • Both groups showed significant improvements in muscular endurance post-rehabilitation.
    • Isokinetic assessment revealed greater improvements in peak torque, power, and total work for both flexors and extensors in the isokinetic group (G1).
    • The isokinetic group demonstrated superior gains in extensor strength and overall power compared to the conventional group.

    Conclusions:

    • Isokinetic rehabilitation leads to superior improvements in muscle strength and endurance for CLBP patients.
    • This modality offers a more effective approach for enhancing spinal muscle function in chronic low back pain management.
    • Further research can explore long-term benefits and optimal parameters for isokinetic protocols.
