Effects of Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization on Pain, Posture, and Respiratory Strength in Chronic Low Back Pain
Sponsor: Uskudar University
Summary
This study aims to evaluate the effects of dynamic neuromuscular stabilization exercises on individuals experiencing chronic non-specific low back pain for at least six months. Pain intensity will be assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) marked on a 10 centimeter line. The impact of low back pain on daily activities will be evaluated through the Oswestry Disability Index, while its influence on quality of life will be determined using the Short Form-36 (SF-36). Postural changes related to low back pain will be assessed using the New York Posture Scale. The effects on respiratory muscles will be examined through lung volume measurements using a spirometer, and respiratory patterns will be identified using chest circumference measurements with a measuring tape.
