The aim of present research is
to determine the effects of three different treatment methods on
rehabilitation of patient with low back pain. In this research, 120
patients with chronic low back pain (having at least 3-m history of low
back pain) were selected as statistical sample and treated after
passing the stages of screening with x-ray, MRI and medical
examination. The level of patient's pain (by using Quebec Back Pain
Disability Scale) as well as the range of motion on lumbar area measure
during pre-test period. Then patients were randomly placed in one of
treatment groups: selected treatment method (group 1; n=40); Williams
exercise (group 2; n=40); McKenzie exercise (group 3; n=40). 10 weeks
were considered as therapeutic course for all three groups. Post-test
was performed at the end and 1-m after of treatment period. Following
collection of primary information and determination of different
variables, findings were analyzed statistically using tests of variance
analysis (ANOVA), toky test, two dependent groups test (t-test),
mann-whitney u, and kruskal-wallis H. Research finding show that some
statistically significant differences in mitigating the level of pain
and range of lumbar motion were observed with in three groups
(p≤0.01).
Indicating that selected treatment method
(group1) has better effects on mitigating the level of pain and
increasing range of lumbar motion; so remaining treatment positive
effects in this group (group 1) after 1- m was more than another groups
(p≤0.01). Gender has no statistically significant effect on
rehabilitating programs for patients with low back pain.
The
conclusion of this research indicates that the complex treatment
method: especial exercises, hydrokinesiotherapy, massage therapy and
physiotherapy has effective for treatment of low back pain
patient.
Key
words: chronic low back pain, exercise therapy,
hydrokinesiotherapy, physiotherapy, Williams exercise, McKenzie
exercise, rehabilitation.
