Abstract
This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of yoga and stabilization exercises in patients with chronic low back pain. Thirty-five female patients were randomly assigned to the stabilization exercise group or the yoga group. Outcome measures were the visual analog scale (VAS), Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) and Back Performance Scale (BPS), 6-minute walk test (6MWT), Fear-Avoidance Beliefs Questionnaire (FABQ), and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). The scores of the VAS, ODI, BPS, 6MWT, and PSQI improved significantly after both interventions (P < .05). Improvements in the stabilization program were higher on the transversus abdominis activation (P < .05). Both interventions had no effect on kinesiophobia (P > .05). Both exercise approaches were found to be similarly effective on pain, function, metabolic capacity, and sleep quality.
期刊介绍:
Holistic Nursing Practice (HNP), The Science of Health and Healing, is a peer-reviewed bimonthly journal that explores holistic models of nursing practice. Content emphasizes complementary traditional and holistic nursing and healthcare practices. Articles include theory-based interventions and their outcomes, including: innovations in holistic nursing practice; research related to holistic nursing practice, health care, and policy; and values and ethical-legal issues related to holistic nursing practices. The holistic approach is a worldview that emphasizes the potential for health and healing in human systems rather than on disease process and deficit.
