Abstract
SANTIAGO BAZAN, Cristhian; ALVARADO PEREZ, Juan Rodolfo and LUDENA AMBUKKA, Sheyla Tatiana. HYPOPRESSIVE EXERCISES IN PATIENTS WITH CHRONIC LOWER BACK PAIN AT A REHABILITATION CENTER IN LIMA. Rev Cient Cienc Méd [online]. 2023, vol.26, n.1, pp.8-15. Epub Sep 31, 2023. ISSN 1817-7433.
Objective:
Apply a program of hypopressive exercises in patients with chronic low back pain who attend the Rehabilitation Center in Lima.
Materials and methods:
Study of quantitative approach, quasi-experimental type and longitudinal cutting. The study sample consisted of 40 participants, divided into two groups: experimental group (20 participants) where a program of hypopressive exercises was applied in 15 sessions of 60 minutes which consisted of breathing exercises and strengthening of the CORE musculature and a control group (20 participants), applying conventional treatment, between the period from April to July 2019 , in both groups, consideration was given: an entry assessment of an exit assessment, the analogous pain scale was used for pain assessment, and Oswestry's Lumbar Disability Index (IDL) questionnaire was used in the statistical analysis by the STATA version 14 program.
Results:
The application of the hypopressive exercise program in patients with chronic lumbar pain (DLC) statistically influences the decrease in chronic mechanical pain (p=0.014). Likewise, there has been no evidence of a statistically significant relationship in terms of reducing the lumbar disability index (IDL) (p=0.072).
Conclusions:
A statistically significant influence was shown on the decrease in lower back pain. Therefore, this procedure should be considered as part of the approach in treatment in people in the reduction of chronic lumbar pain of mechanical origin.
