Additional Gluteal Control Training for Low Back Pain With Functional Leg Length Inequality

Taiwan48 participantsStarted 2017-12-11

Plain-language summary

Low back pain (LBP) is a prevalent musculoskeletal disorder. A variety of exercise interventions which were designed as randomized control trails (RCTs) have been studied and shown effectiveness in improving pain and disability. These exercises typically focus on the abdominal and back musculature strength. However, many LBP patients did not show any improvement in their symptom after they carry out those exercise programs.
