become a major public health problem worldwide. Generally, most of us
will experience at least one episode of low back pain during our life and
the highest occurrence in the third decade of life. Core muscle
strengthening is one of the recommended exercises to treat pain and
disability in individuals with low back pain.
Objective: The objective of this study is to compare the efficacy
of side-bridge and prone-bridge exercises on reducing pain and
disability of individuals with non-specific chronic low back pain.
Methodology: 30 young adults were enrolled and divided
equally into two groups: Group 1 (prone-bridge exercise) and Group 2
(side-bridge exercise). The exercises were performed for 10 repetitions, 3
sets per day for 4 weeks. The outcome measure used for pain intensity
was Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) and Modified Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Questionnaire (MOLBPDQ) was for disability. Pain
intensity and disability were measured at beginning and end of study.
Results: Both Group 1 and Group 2 showed significant
differences in reducing pain (p<0.001 respectively) for NSCLBP.
However, there was no significant difference (p=0.642) between the
improvements of both groups. The results also showed that both groups
had significant differences in improving disability (p=0.001; p=0.002)
for NSCLBP. Nevertheless, there was also no significant difference
(p=0.902) in improvement of disability for both the groups.
Conclusion: The results of current study showed significant
improvement in pain and disability for both two exercise groups, but
there was no difference between groups. Prone-bridge and side-bridge
exercises were safe and beneficial exercise to alleviate pain and improve
disability in populations with chronic low back pain.
