Resum

Chronic low back pain represents one of the most common and expensive health problems in adult western society. Between 70% and 85% of the population has experienced an episode of back pain at least once in some point of their life. Several studies agree that in more than 80% of the cases of back pain, the problem is due to a weakness of the lumbar extensor and stabilizer muscles rather than to structural injuries. The present study aims to analyze and implement a specific muscle strengthening protocol for the lower back muscles in order to establish possible relationships with the symptomatology, the range of motion (ROM) and the isometric lumbar muscular strength. The equipment used for this protocol was the MedX Lumbar Extension machine, other MedX Exercise Equipment and a visual analogic scale (VAS). The outcome of this study with 26 subjects (15 men and 11 women) resulted in an 15% increase of the ROM, a decrease of the VAS by 81% and a growth of the lumbar strength of 130%.
