Background
Patients with chronic low back pain (CLBP) often struggle with poor posture due to weak core muscles. Dynamic neuromuscular stabilization (DNS) uses techniques based on how infants move to help improve muscle function. While DNS has helped improve posture in other conditions, it’s unclear if it works better for CLBP patients compared to traditional exercises.
Study Objectives
This study aimed to see how DNS training compares to regular core exercises in improving core muscle strength and balance in CLBP patients.
Methods
Sixty CLBP patients were divided into two groups: one received DNS training, and the other did conventional core exercises. Both groups participated in 12 sessions over 4 weeks. They were evaluated before and after the training using ultrasound to measure muscle changes, balance tests to assess posture, and questionnaires to evaluate pain and disability.
Results
After 4 weeks, the DNS group showed significant improvements in muscle strength and balance compared to the control group. Key findings included:
- Improved core muscle function (transversus abdominis and diaphragm).
- Better balance performance, especially when visual feedback was removed.
- Significant reductions in pain and disability scores for both groups, but DNS showed greater muscle improvements.
Conclusions
DNS training is more effective than conventional exercises for enhancing core muscle strength and balance in CLBP patients. This method may help reduce pain and improve overall function.
Practical Healthcare Solutions
Based on the trial data, clinics can:
- Set clear goals for improving core strength and posture in CLBP patients.
- Implement DNS training as a primary treatment option.
- Use AI tools to track patient progress and outcomes effectively.
Next Steps
Start with a pilot project to test DNS training in your clinic. Monitor results and adjust the program as needed to maximize patient benefits.
