To Study the Effects of Core Stability Exercise in Desk Job Patients with Mechanical Low Back Pain.
Mechanical low back pain (MLBP) is a mechanically-derived, musculoskeletal back pain not involving nerve root compression or serious spinal diseases. Prevalence is higher in young and active adults with nearly 60% people. These people have suffered from low back pain at some time during their lifespan. Low back pain also restricts mobility, interferes with normal functioning and
results in lifelong pain and permanent disability. Lack of spinal core stability is supposed to be one of the important predisposing causes of recurrent low back pain.
Mechanical low back pain (MLBP) is a mechanically-derived, musculoskeletal back pain not involving nerve root compression or serious spinal diseases. Prevalence is higher in young
and active adults. Causes of MLBP typically are attributed to an acute traumatic event, but they may also include cumulative trauma as an etiology. The weakness of the superficial trunk and abdominal muscles is an important risk factor for low back pain. Strengthening these muscles markedly improves chronic low back pain and decreases functional disability. Another independent risk factor for chronic low back pain is weakness and lack of motor control of deep trunk muscles, such as the lumbar multifidus (LM) and transversus abdominis (TrA) muscles
Mostly low-income group people are engaged in physically demanding jobs which increases the risk of low back pain and disability. In India, nearly 60% of the people suffered from low back pain at any point of time during their lifespan. Low back pain also restricts mobility, interferes with normal functioning and results in lifelong pain and permanent disability.
