[PDF] McGill Exercises versus Conventional Exercises in Chronic Low Back Pain | Semantic Scholar (2024)

Investigation of McGill stabilization exercises and conventional physiotherapy exercises on dynamic balance indices, pain, disability and range of motion in patients with chronic non-specific low back pain found they may improve more effective dynamic postural balance variables to maintain balance in daily activities such as walking.

It appears that McGill stabilization exercises provide an additional benefit to patients with chronic non-specific low back, especially in pain and functional disability improvement.

There is limited data supporting the clinical benefit of the McGill approach for the treatment of low back pain based on the available randomized clinical trials, and more study is required prior to widespread adoption into clinical practice.

In conclusion, both progressive DMST and conventional MGB3 core stability exercise programs are effective for nonspecific chronic LBP rehabilitation.

On comparison, the Mc Gill & Pilates regime, Mc Gill exercises were found to be better than Pilates exercises in giving pain relief to the young adult patients suffering from nonspecific low back pain but for rest of the parameters both are equally effective.

A short term study on the short term effect of modified Lumbar SNAGS with conventional program in non-SPECIFIC CHRONIC LOW BACK PAIN PATIENTS and its impact on patients found it to be beneficial.

Comparisons between the effects of clinically supervised exercises and HEP on pain, disability and physical function in patients with chronic low back pain are compared.

A program based on McGill stabilization of the trunk was found to reduce pain and disability in women with postnatal low back pain.

There was no additional benefit of adding specific spinal stabilization exercises to a conventional physiotherapy package for patients with recurrent low back pain and both groups showed improved physical functioning, reduced pain intensity, and an improvement in the physical component of quality of life.

Treatment with this home-training concept of specific stabilizing exercises targeting the local muscles was no more effective in improving consequences of persistent postpartum pelvic girdle pain than the clinically natural course.

Clinicians might consider SSE for LBP patients as a possible rehabilitation strategy to reduce A/P displacement following treatment following unexpected perturbations, which helps prevent further injury.

The main outcome measure showed equal improvement in patients with chronic low back pain and disc degeneration randomized to cognitive intervention and exercises, or lumbar fusion.

Comparing the efficacy of segmental stabilization exercises utilizing multifidus and transversus abdominis muscles versus a placebo treatment in patients with lumbar segmental instability found segmentsal stabilization exercise was more effective than placebo intervention in symptomatic lumbr segmental Stability.

The back extensor exercises examined provided a wide range of joint loading and muscle activity levels, and single-leg extension tasks appear to constitute a low-risk exercise for initial extensor strengthening, given the low spine load and mild extensor muscle challenge.

The results provide support for the use of these physical performance measures as a complement to patient self‐report and show significant group differences on all measures except the 50‐foot walk at preferred speed and unloaded forward reach.
