This interventional clinical study evaluated the effectiveness of two different 4-week rehabilitation programs in older adults aged 60-75 years with radiologically confirmed grade I or II spondylolisthesis. Participants were assigned to one of two parallel treatment groups. One group received a standardized kinesiotherapy program combined with physical therapy modalities, while the second group received the same kinesiotherapy program combined with myofascial trigger point therapy. Treatment effectiveness was assessed using pain intensity, functional disability, postural stability, and trunk muscle strength measures.
