Abstract

Objective To explore the clinical effect of sling exercise on postpartum low back pain (PLBP). Methods From February, 2017 to February, 2018, 66 PLBP patients were randomly divided into control group (n = 33) and observation group (n = 33). The control group received routine rehabilitation physiotherapy and American chiropractic, and the observation group was supplemented with sling exercise therapy additionally. They were evaluated with Numerical Rating Scale (NRS), Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) and the thickness of transversus abdominis before and six weeks after treatment. Results Before treatment, there was no significant difference in the scores of NRS, ODI and the thickness of transversus abdominis between two groups (P > 0.05). Six weeks after treatment, the scores of NRS and ODI significantly decreased (t > 14.579, P < 0.001), and the transversus abdominis thickness significantly improved (t > 15.855, P < 0.001) in both groups. All the above indexes were significantly better in the observation group than in the control group (t > 4.818, P < 0.001). Conclusions ling exercise therapy, combined with American chiropractic treatment and routine rehabilitation physiotherapy, can further relieve pain in patients with PLBP, and improve the function and the quality of life.
