Introduction: Chronic non-specific low back pain (CNSLBP) has a considerable influence on individuals' daily activities. Aquatic exercise (AE) has been utilized for musculoskeletal rehabilitation. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of open and closed kinetic chain exercises in water on range of motion (ROM) and balance in men with CNSLBP.
Materials and methods: A 3-arms randomized controlled trial assigned 60 men with CNSLBP to open-chain aquatic exercises (OCAE), closed-chain aquatic exercises (CCAE), and control group (n=20 each). Intervention groups exercised for 8 weeks, 3 sessions/week. Outcomes were ROM, dynamic balance, and pain.
Results: The findings of the study showed that OCAE and CCAE improved ROM, dynamic balance and, pain. The results showed a significant difference between OCAE, CCAE groups and control group in left ROM (F=11.447,p<0.001,η2=0.367), right ROM (F=14.806, p<0.001, η2=0.343), pain (F=112.386, p<0.001,η2=0.801), dynamic balance(Anterior) (F=6.065, p<0.004, η2=0.178), dynamic balance(Posterior-lateral) (F=7.204, p<0.002, η2=0.204), dynamic balance(Posterior-medial) (F=3.964, p<0.005, η2=0.124).
Conclusion: Considering that the improvement in ROM, dynamic balance, and pain improved in the OCAE and CCAE group compared to control group, aquatic exercise can be considered as a supplementary program to rehabilitation protocols for individuals with CNSLBP. |
