|5. |Title of the topic |EFFICACY OF SPECIFIC STABILIZATION EXERCISES AND CONVENTIONAL BACK EXTENSION EXERCISES IN THE|

| | |MANAGEMENT OF CHRONIC DISC PROLAPSE. A COMPARATIVE STUDY |

|6. |Brief Resume of the intended work |

| |6.1 NEED FOR THE STUDY |

| |Athletes are at high risk of sustaining a lower lumbar spine injury as they perform a demanding tasks and sometimes they damage the |

| |intervertebral disc because of excessive weight bearing. |

| | |

| |Athletes, although being fit and active are known to reduced risk of back pain, but this is negated by research showing that high volume |

| |training performed by elite athletes may increase the risk.1 |

| | |

| |Because all movements happen and begins at core then progress out to arms and leg , core strength is very essential. It is seen that:- |

| | |

| |Core efficiency enables the structures to operate optimally in the distribution of weights, absorption of force and transfer of ground |

| |reaction forces. |

| | |

| |Muscle requires training of optimal functioning. The core stabilization training concepts involves spinal stabilization which must be |

| |adequate to effectively utilize strength, power, neuromuscular control and endurance of prime movers. |

| | |

| |A weak core means decreased force production and efficiency and this may result in injury. |

| | |

| |Core stability is essential for the maintenance of an upright posture and especially for the movements and lifts that required extra |

| |effort such as lifting a heavy weight from the ground to a table. Without core stability the lower back is not supported from inside and |

| |can be injured by a strain caused by the exercise.2 |

| | |

| |Thus the purpose of study is to compare the effectiveness of conventional back exercises and stabilization exercises for athletes with |

| |disc prolapse. |

| | |

| |HYPOTHESIS: |

| |Null Hypothesis (H0): |

| |There may not be a significant difference between the core muscle strengthening exercises and conventional back extension exercises in |

| |patients with chronic disc prolapse |

| | |

| |Alternate Hypothesis ( H1): |

| |There may be significant difference between the core muscle strengthening exercises and conventional back extension exercises in patients|

| |with chronic disc prolapse |

| | |

| |6.2 REVIEW OF LITERATURE: |

| | |

| |In the study found that, lumbar extension training brought about reduction in low back pain, improvement in ROM and improvement of spinal|

| |conditions and lumbar extension strength.3 |

| | |

| |It have stated that specific back extension exercises that focus on deep stabilizing muscles have proven to reverse motor control |

| |deficits that occur after back injury or degenerative change.The most significant finding thus for is that people who do not retrain the |

| |deep stablizing muscles are 12.4 times more likely to have reccurance of back pain within 3years.4 |

| | |

| |In the study it has stated that the trunk muscles respond to exercise progression to improve dynamic spinal stability.5 |

| | |

| |It has stated that core strengthening, is in essence, a description of muscular control required around the lumbar spine to maintain |

| |functional stability.6 |

| | |

| |It has stated that core stability has an important role in injury prevention.7 |

| | |

| |It has shown in the study that participation in sports appear to be a risk factor for the development of disc degeneration . Every |

| |sports places unique demand on the lumbar spine and inturn, intervertebral discs.The elite athletes have a greater prevalence and greater|

| |degree of disc generation than normal population.8 |

| | |

| | |

| | |

| |It has stated that the co-contraction of Transverse Abdominis and Multifidus muscles occurred prior to any movements of the limbs. This |

| |suggested that these muscles anticipate dynamic forces which may acts on the lumbar spine and stablise the area prior to any |

| |movements.They also showed that timing of co-ordination of these muscles was very significant, and the back injury patients were unable |

| |to recruit their Transverse Abdominis and Multifidus muscles early enough to stablise the spine prior to movement.9 Furthermore, the |

| |Multifidus muscle show poor recruitment in back injury patients, again showing how the recruitment of these deep trunk muscle is very |

| |important.10 |

| | |

| |It has stated that role of back treatment exercise program in diskoganic low back pain yield superior therapeutic results with |

| |significant reduction in pain.11 |

| | |

| |It has concluded that lumbar extension exercises and whole vibration exercises yield a significant reduction in pain sensation and pain |

| |related disability in chronic low back pain.12 |

| | |

| |It has concluded that Ronald Morris Questionnaire has been shown to yield reliable measurements which are valid for inferring the level |

| |of disability and to be sensitive to change over time for groups of patients with low back pain.13 |

| | |

| |It has concluded in the study that Bulging / Herniated intervertebral disc, the treatment focus is on centralizing the bulging nucleus |

| |back into the disc. Initial management of any pain and spasm can be treated by modalities like heat, Ultra sound, Massage or other common|

| |methods as the pain subsides the treatment focus will shift to the core of the problem. This will include specific exercises to assist in|

| |centralizing the disc: Spinal extension exercises, Spinal flexion exercises, Postural management and core trunk strengthening and |

| |stabilization to improve endurance, strength and power.14 |

| | |

| | |

| | |

| | |

| |It has stated in the study that "In the very acute phase (first 48 hours) of a disc prolapse, various anti-inflammatory procedures can be|

| |used to reduce inflammation and pain. Once the acute period has passed physiotherapy treatment aims to minimise joint stiffness. After |

| |the initial pain has subsided, remedial exercises to strengthen the spine are very important to restore normal spinal movements and |

| |muscle strength. The main aim of exercise is to encourage mobility, reduce muscle spasm, prevent further deterioration in the muscles and|

| |speed recovery.15 |

| | |

| |6.3 OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY |

| |To find out efficacy of core muscles strengthening in athletes with chronic disc prolapse. |

| |To find out efficacy of conventional back extension exercises in athletes with chronic disc prolapse. |

| |To compare the efficacy of core muscle strengthening and conventional back extension exercises with chronic disc prolapse. |
