Considering the prevalence of pain and disability in the knee joint, the present study investigated the effect of core stability training with improving knee joint proprioception on balance, pain and functional disability of women with chronic knee pain. 20 women aged 30 to 50 with chronic knee pain were placed in two experimental and control groups. To measure static and dynamic balance, pain and functional disability, the stork balance tests, Y, VAS and VOMACK questionnaire were used, respectively. Exercises were followed for eight weeks in the experimental group. To evaluate the research hypotheses, the analysis of variance test with repeated measurements was used in spss software version 24. The results showed that before the exercise protocol, there was no significant difference between the control and experimental groups in any of the measured variables. While the eight-week training protocol caused a significant difference in static and dynamic balance, functional disability and pain between the control and experimental groups. Therefore, core stability training with improving knee joint proprioception increase balance in people with chronic knee pain, which can reduce the risk of falling in these people and improve the quality of life by improving pain and functional disability.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of dynamic neuromuscular stability (DNS) training on dynamic balance and functional disability in athletes with non-specific chronic low back pain.

The present study is quasi-experimental, applied with pre-test and post-test design. The sample consisted of 24 male team athletes with chronic non-specific low back pain in two equal and random control groups and experimental were divided into. The control group did not participate in any treatment and rehabilitation activities during this period and was engaged in normal daily activities. The experimental group performed dynamic neuromuscular stability training for 8 weeks. Also, before and after the intervention, the Oswestry questionnaire was used to evaluate the functional disability and the Y balance test was used to evaluate the dynamic balance. The data were analyzed using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) at the significant level of p < 0.05.

The results of intergroup comparison after dynamic neuromuscular stability training showed a significant difference in improving dynamic balance and functional disability in the experimental group compared to the control group (P <0.05).

Based on the findings of this research, dynamic neuromuscular stability exercises improve functional disability and dynamic balance in athletes with non-specific chronic low back pain.

The purpose of the present study was to investigate and compare the effects of two types of proprioceptive exercises and combination of proprioceptive exercises and mental imagery on pain, functional disability and lumbar proprioception in women with non-specific chronic low back pain. Subjects voluntarily participated in this study and were randomly divided into three groups of proprioceptive exercises and combination of proprioceptive exercises and mental imagery, and the control group. Two training groups performed their exercise protocol for 6 weeks. Pre-test and post-test of pain severity, functional disability and lumbar proprioception were assessed by visual analogue scale of pain (VAS), the Oswestry disability Index questionnaire and 30 degree lumbar flexion, respectively. The results showed that all three variables of pain intensity, functional disability and proprioception were significantly different in pre-test and post-test in comparing the exercise group, combination group and the control group. But the difference between the exercise group and combination group was not significant. According to the results of the present study, despite the slight differences in the averages, both exercise protocols had similar effects on pain relief and functional disability, and lumbar proprioception. It can be stated that mental imagery exercises affect the variables of pain and functional disability, and lumbar proprioception so as to active exercises do. Therefore, patients with nonspecific chronic low back pain are advised to use mental imaging exercises along with other therapeutic exercises to improve the disease.

The aim of this study was the effect of release massage and stretching exercises on pain, ROM and functional disability of the Neck due to Myofascial Trigger Points of the Trapezius Muscle. 30 patients were divided into three groups including massage group, stretching group and control group. Patients in experimental groups received training for 8 weeks. Pain, ROM and functional disability were measured with a visual analog scale, goniometer and Neck Pain and Disability Scale, respectively. The results showed that stretching exercises and massage led to a significant increase in ROM and a significant decrease in pain and functional disability. Also, significant differences were observed between the two groups for all variables. Based on the results, massage can have more advantages than stretching exercises, but due to the benefits of stretching movements as an exercises approach, these exercises are recommended for trigger points.

Chronic low back pain (LBP) is a growing problem in many communities, but there is no consensus regarding the most appropriate therapeutic intervention. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of yoga exercises on intensity of pain and functional disability in female subjects with non-specific chronic LBP.
Thirty female with nonspecific chronic LBP (mean age ± SD; 36.6±4.7 years old) were chosen voluntarily and purposefully randomly and divided into two groups, the experimental (EXP=14) and controls (CON=16) groups. Visual Analogue Scales (VAS) for the assessment of pain intensity and Oswestry disability index questionnaire, abdominal and back muscle endurance, Back Performance Scale of functional disability were used for assessment of function. The EXP group performed yoga exercises for 8 weeks, three sessions per week. The control group remained sedentary. Data were determined with analysis of covariance, independent t test and paired t-tests at a significance level of α≥0.05.
Results of study showed that a period of 8-weeks yoga exercises caused a significantly decreased in pain, functional disability, Back Performance Scale and significant increase in abdominal muscle endurance, back muscles endurance in EXP group (P≤0.05). Also, there were significant differences between groups (P≤0.05).
Yoga exercises have significant effects in decreasing the pain and increasing function in women with non-specific chronic LBP.
