The Effect of Eight Weeks of Motor Control Exercises and Myofascial Release on the Range of Motion of the Lumbar Spine and Disability in People with Non-Specific Chronic Low Back P... by S Jamali Brayjani, M.H Alizadeh, N Rahnama

“…The range of motion of the lumbar spine (Modified – Modified Schober Test) and disability (Oswestry Disability Index) of participants was evaluated before and after eight weeks of training. Data analysis was done using repeated measures analysis of variance and Bonferroni's post hoc test at a five percent error level and using SPSS software version 26.ResultsMovement control exercises with and without myofascial release have caused a significant increase in the amount of range of motion of the lumbar spine and significant reduction in the severity of disability of the subjects, after training compared to before training (p<0.001). range of motion of the lumbar spine and severity of disability was not significantly different between the control and experimental groups (p>0.05). …”
