Objective To explore the efficacy of lumbar core muscle strength training combined with electro-magnetic wave therapy on elderly chronic lumbar muscle strain.Methods Eighty elderly patients with chronic lumbar muscle strain who were treated in Beijing Rehabilitation Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University from January 2020 to June 2022 were selected and divided into observation group(40 cases)and control group(40 cases)by means of the random number table method.Both groups were given daily massage therapy,and the control group was added with lumbar core muscle strength training while the observation group additionally adopted specific electromagnetic wave ther-apy on this basis.The clinical efficacy,as well as lumbar pain,lumbar function,lumbar pain symptom quantitative scores,root mean square(RMS)and median frequency(MF)of surface electromyography,abdominal and dorsal muscle endurance and lumbar range of motion before and after treatment and occurrence of adverse reactions during treatment were compared between the two groups.Results After treatment,the total effective rate in observation group was 95.00％and that in control group was 80.00％(P＜0.05).After treatment,the VAS score and ODI score in the two groups were declined compared with those before treatment(P＜0.05),and the above scores in observation group after treatment were lower compared to control group(P＜0.05).The quantitative scores of lumbar pain symptoms in both groups were reduced compared to before treatment(P＜0.05),and the scores were lower in observation group after treatment(P＜0.05).The RMS and MF were lowered in both groups compared to before treatment(P＜0.05),and the two indicators after treatment in observation group were lower(P＜0.05).The scores of abdominal and dorsal muscle endurance and lumbar spine activity were decreased in both groups(P＜0.05),and the above scores in observation group were lower in comparison with control group after treatment(P＜0.05).During treatment,no obvious adverse re-actions were found among all patients.Conclusions Specific electromagnetic wave therapeutic apparatus supplemented with lumbar core muscle strength training can effectively improve the lumbar pain and enhance the lumbar function,ab-dominal and dorsal muscle endurance and lumbar range of motion in elderly patients with chronic lumbar muscle strain,thus it is worthy of recommendation.
