The Effects of Core Stabilization Exercise on Low Back Patients

Abstract

Low back pain is a prevalent and debilitating condition that affects a significant portion of the global population. Core stabilization exercises have emerged as a popular therapeutic approach for managing low back pain. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to investigate the effectiveness of core stabilization exercises in alleviating low back pain and improving functional outcomes in affected patients. This research revealed significant improvements in pain intensity, functional disability, and quality of life following core stabilization exercise interventions compared to control groups. Furthermore, the effects appear to be more pronounced when these exercises are incorporated into a comprehensive rehabilitation program. However, the study also identifies certain limitations, such as heterogeneity among the included studies and variations in the duration and intensity of core stabilization exercise programs. Additionally, the long-term sustainability of the observed benefits warrants further investigation
