Effectiveness of Lumbar Stabilization Exercise in Low Back Pain with Heavy Back Packs among School Children - An Experimental Study

Introduction: When children reach school age, they go through a series of stages that include growth spurts, the development of balance and coordination, and postural stability. In physical therapy, lumbar stabilization is an active kind of exercise. It helps to prevent low back pain by strengthening muscles that support the spine. The goal of the study was to find out the effectiveness of lumbar stabilization exercise in low back pain with heavy back packs among school children.
Methodology: In the study, 30 participants were randomly selected for the study and they were divided into two groups - experimental group and control group. The participants were assessed with the help of VAS, MMST and ODI. The experimental group was given lumbar stabilization exercise along with conventional exercise and control group was given conventional exercise alone. Pre and post test were taken before and after the interventions. Exercises were given three times per week for six weeks.
Result: The results were analysed using t-test. Paired t-test was used to compare the result. In both the group there was improvement in pain, functional ability, and ROM within group .When comparing the post-test values between the experimental and control group, the experimental group showed higher results than that of control. Hence, lumbar stabilization exercise is effective in reducing low back pain among school children with heavy back pack.
Conclusion: The study concluded that lumbar stabilization exercise is effective in reducing low back pain with heavy back pack among school children.
