Effect of core muscles training based on spinal fine-tuning manipulation on lumbar spine function and quality of life in patients with lumbar facet joint disorders
Objective To explore the effect of core muscles training based on spinal fine-tuning manipulation on lumbar facet joint disorders.Methods From February,2021 to February,2022,80 patients with lumbar facet joint disorders in Huadong Hospital Af-filiated to Fudan University were randomly divided into control group(n = 40)and observation group(n = 40)randomly.Both groups received routine treatment and spinal fine-tuning manipulation,while the observation group received core muscles training in addition,for six weeks.They were assessed with Japanese Orthopaedic Association(JOA)scores,Short-Form of McGill Pain Questionnaire and World Health Organization Quality of Life-BREF before and after treatment.The recurrence rate was observed after three months follow-up.Results The scores of all the scales improved after treatment(t>5.751,P<0.001),and improved more in the observa-tion group than in the control group(t>2.051,P<0.05).After three months follow-up,the recurrence rate was 7.89%(3/38)in the observation group,less than 28.13%(9/32)in the control group(χ2 = 5.005,P = 0.025).Conclusion Combination of core muscles training may improve lumbar function,reduce lumbar pain,reduce recurrence and improve quality of life for patients with lumbar facet joint disorders.
