What's new?

Six weeks of core stability exercises can be used along with conventional treatments to alleviate pain and improve function in women with postpartum lumbopelvic pain.

In an analysis involving 34 females with postpartum LPP (lumbopelvic pain), the influence of core stability exercises was assessed. The women were divided into two groups; control and study group. Subjects of the study group went through infrared radiation and continuous ultrasound three sessions a week for six weeks along with core stability exercises. On the other hand, the control group involved ONLY infrared radiation and continuous ultrasound on the lumbosacral region (L1-S5). The assessment of all patients of both groups was done by VAS, Pain Pressure Threshold (PPT), and Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) pre and post-operatively.

Both groups exhibited considerable improvement in ODI, PPT, and VAS scores postoperatively. The subjects who obtained core stability exercises along with the treatment showed more significant improvement in ODI, VAS, and PPT than patients with only traditional treatment. This implies that the core stability exercises can be used as an adjuvant therapy helps to improve the health of women with postpartum LPP.
