Investigation of the Effectiveness of Corrective Actions on Low Back Pain in 22-19 Years Old Female Students with Lumbar Lordosis in Isfahan University

Introduction & Corrective actions are a branch of applied science and include the identification، education، prevention، correction of wrong habits of body and motor abnormalities. In this study، the effectiveness of corrective actions on low back pain in female students 19-22 years with lumbar lordosis in isfahan university is evaluated. In this quasi-experimental study، 300 female students aged 19 to 22 years in Isfahan University were selected by stratified random sampling. All these individuals were initially screened to identify and select patients with lumbar lordosis using the New York organization test. Among of them، 120 people، who had hyperlordosis، were evaluated again by flexible ruler for precise measurement of lumbar lordosis. At the end، 44 people were selected who had >30 degree curving in lumbar and they were randomly assigned to case and control groups. For the case group corrective actions took place in 8 weeks، with 3 sessions in a week and each session having 60 minutes of exercise. Before and after the actions، the pre and post test were taken. Information was collected by Quebec Pain Questionnaire (to measure low back pain) and was analyzed by using independent and dependent t-tests were taken. People had mean age، height and weight of 21. 5 ± 1. 6، 160. 6 ± 5. 8، and 55. 4 ± 7. 8 respectively. Between lumbar lordosis and low back pain in the case group there was a statistically significant difference before and after the 8 weeks of corrective actions (P ≤ 0. 05). Between all physical variables of the case groups compared with the control group، there was a significant difference at the level of P ≤0. 05. Regular and correct exercises may lead to increase muscular power and decrease lordosis. This can decrease the recurrence of back pain and has a vital role in treating the patients with lordosis.
