ABSTRACT
Background: Exercise is the intervention with the highest level of evidence
on efficacy for treatment of chronic low back pain, with a higher
benefit in terms of pain and function compared to any other intervention.
A wide variety of exercises programs have been designed; however,
“lumbar stabilization exercises” have become increasingly popular
among clinicians who are in contact with spine diseases. However,
there is controversy regarding the adequate prescription and there are
multiple protocols.
The
aim of this literature review is to analyze the information about
these exercises to promote better decision-making among clinicians
and design the best program for each patient.
Conclusion: We found the program an essential tool in the treatment of
low back pain in both therapeutic and preventive phases.
