Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate effects of lumbar vertebrae mobilization and lumbar stabilizing exercises on the muscle strength. Methods: The subject were sixty healthy adult(30 females. 30 males) two decade from 21 to 35. All subjects randomly assigned the control group, lumbar vertebrae mobilization group, lumbar stabilizing exercises group. lumbar stabilizing exercises group received lumbar stabilizing exercises for 30 minutes, lumbar vertbrae mobilization group received lumbar vertbrae mobilization for 4-5 minutes per day and three times a week during 3 weeks period. BIODEX was used to measure muscle strength. All measurements of each subjects were measured at pre-experiment, after 10 day, and post-experiment. Results: The results of this study were summarized as follows; 1. The flexion strength test of control group, lumbar vertebrae mobilization group, lumbar stabilizing exercises group were no significantly differences at pre-experiment and after 10 days(p> .05), however significantly increased post-experiment(p <.05). The result of analyzed effects of flexion strength test was significantly increased accordining to experiment type(p <.05). 2. The extension strength test of control group, lumbar vertebrae mobilization group, lumbar stabilizing exercises group were no significantly differences at pre-experiment and after 10 days(p> .05), however significantly increased post-experiment(p <.05). The result of analyzed effects of extension strength test was significantly increased accordining to experiment type(p <.05). Conclusion: conclusionally these data suggest that a 3-week lumbar stabilizing exercises improved muscle strength. Additional randomized controlled trials to more fully investigate trement effects and factors that may mediate these effect are needed.
