Abstract

Objective

The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of trunk balance exercise and whole-body vibration (WBV) training on the muscle dimensions of patients with chronic nonspecific low back pain (cNLBP).

Methods

Fifty patients with cNLBP were randomly assigned to either the trunk balance (n = 25) or the WBV (n = 25) group. Both groups performed the training exercises 3 times a week for 6 weeks. The geometry of bilateral abdominal and lumbar multifidus muscles was measured before and after the interventions using diagnostic ultrasound.

Results

Both interventions increased the dimensions of the abdominal and multifidus muscles during rest and contraction (P ≤ .001). There was no significant difference between the groups (P ≥ .08). Cohen’s d, the between-group effect size, was ≤0.68.

Conclusion

In a 6-week period, WBV training was as effective as trunk balance exercises at improving the muscle geometry in patients with cNLBP.

全身振动训练与平衡训练方案对慢性非特异性腰痛患者肌肉几何形态影响的比较研究：随机对照试验

目的比较躯干平衡训练和全身振动（WBV）训练对慢性非特异性腰痛（cNLBP）患者肌肉尺寸的影响。方法50例cNLBP患者随机分为躯干平衡组（n = 25）和WBV组（n = 25）。两组每周进行3次训练，持续6周。在干预前后用诊断超声测量双侧腹部和腰椎多裂肌的几何形状。结果两种干预措施在休息和收缩时均增加了腹肌和多裂肌的尺寸（P≤0.001）。两组间差异无统计学意义（P≥0.08）。Cohen’s d，组间效应量，≤0.68。结论：在6周的时间内，WBV训练与躯干平衡训练在改善cNLBP患者肌肉几何形状方面同样有效。
