About

Brief Summary: Low back pain (LBP) is an important public health problem due to the increasing world population and aging. In chronic LBP, exercise therapy is among the first-line treatments. Core stabilization exercises (CSE), one of the motor control exercises, focus on the activation and control of the deep spinal muscles. Recently, some studies have shown that Russian electrical stimulation alone or combined with exercise can provide contraction in deep stabilizer muscles and significantly reduce pain in patients with LBP
