The effect of spinal stabilization exercises and intervertebral differential dynamics therapy on back pain and function condition in lumbar disc herniation

Research problem. Lumbar spinal disc herniation causes lower back pain, impaired function, deteriorates quality of life. Spinal stabilization exercises or intervertebral differential dynamic therapy are often used to reduce pain and improve function. However, it is not clear how the complex application of these therapies works in lumbar disc herniation. Research hyposthesis. We hypothesize that spinal stabilization exercises and intervertebral differential dynamic therapy will improve core function and reduce pain in lumbar disc herniation. The aim of the research. To determine the effect of spinal stabilization exercises and intervertebral differential dynamic therapy on back pain and functional condition of lumbar spine hernia. Reaearch tasks: 1. To evaluate the effect of spinal stabilization exercises on back pain and functional condition in lumbar spine hernia. 2. To evaluate the effect of spinal stabilization exercises and intervertebral differential dynamic therapy on back pain and functional condition. 3. To compare the effects of spinal stabilization exercises and intervertebral differential dynamic therapy on back pain and functional status. Research methods. The study included 24 individuals with lumbar spine hernia, of which 13 were women and 11 were men. The study included individuals who were diagnosed with intervertebral disc herniation in the L4-L5 or L5-S1 segment. Subjects' pain intensity was assessed on a numerical analog scale (SAS), the Ito test was used to assess back muscle static endurance, the McGill test was used to assess the static endurance of the abdominal muscles, and the Oswestry Disability Index Questionnaire was used to assess functional condition. Results. The study and control groups results showed that both groups had a statistically significant improvement in reducing pain intensity (p0,05). Conclusions: 1. Spinal stabilization exercises effectively reduced back pain and disability, increased abdominal and muscular static endurance. 2. Spinal stabilization exercises and intervertebral differential dynamic therapy have been effective in reducing back pain and disability, increasing abdominal and muscular static endurance. 3. Spinal stabilization exercises and intervertebral differential dynamic therapy were more effective in increasing abdominal and back muscle static endurance and reducing back pain than spinal stabilization exercises alone, but the effects on disability were similar
