Effects of Lumbar Stabilization Exercise with Elastic Bandage and Lumbar Stabilization Exercise on Trunk Functions and Lumbar Pain

Objective: The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of exercise with elastic bandage(EBST) and lumbar stabilization exercise(ST) on middle and high school baseball players’ visual analog scale(VAS), abdominal muscle strength(AMS), lumbar flexion(LF), lumbar extension(LE). Method: The subjects of this study weare 31 baseball players at S middle and high schools located in Seoul. They were divided into an EBST group (n=15) and an ST group (n=16). The intervention was applied for 40 minutes per each time, three times per week, for 6 weeks. Their The players’ VAS, AMS, LF and LE were measured. Results: The EBST group experienced significant changes in their VAS, AMS, LF and LE (p<0.05). The ST group also showed significant changes in their VAS, AMS, LF, LE (p<0.05). In comparison between the two groups, the EBST group’s VAS, AMS, LF and LE was increased significantly more increased than those of the ST group (p<0.05). Conclusion: Both EBST and ST were found to influence the trunk functions of athletes with lumbar pain. However, according to the result of comparison between the two groups, the EBST group’s trunk functions and lumber pain increased significantly more increased than those of the ST group.
