The Effects of Video-Based Stabilization Exercises on Pain, Functionality, Exercise Adherence, Kinesiophobia, and Qol in Individuals With NSCBP
The Effects of Video-Based Stabilization Exercises on Pain, Functionality, Exercise Adherence, Kinesiophobia, and Qol in Individuals With NSCBP
This randomized controlled study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a 6-week home-based stabilization exercise program in individuals with non-specific chronic low back pain. Participants will be randomly assigned to two groups: one receiving exercise instruction via video-based content, and the other via a printed brochure with illustrated exercises. The effectiveness of the interventions will be assessed in terms of pain severity, functional status, exercise adherence, kinesiophobia, and quality of life.
This study investigates the effectiveness of a 6-week home-based core stabilization exercise program in individuals with non-specific chronic low back pain (NSCLBP). The purpose is to compare two different delivery methods of the same exercise protocol: video-based versus illustrated brochure-based instructions. Stabilization exercises are commonly used in NSCLBP management; however, the mode of delivery in home settings can impact adherence and clinical outcomes.
A total of 42 participants with NSCLBP will be randomly assigned to either the video-based group or the brochure-based group. Both groups will follow the same exercise content, frequency, and duration. Outcomes will be assessed at baseline and after 6 weeks using standardized tools for pain (Visual Analog Scale), functional status ( Oswestry Disability Index), exercise adherence (Exercise Adherence Rating Scale), kinesiophobia (Tampa Scale), and quality of life (SF-36).
The findings will be contribute to the optimization of home exercise strategies for chronic low back pain management.
