About

The study will be conducted with volunteer patients who have undergone lumbar decompression surgery and who are followed up by the Neurosurgery outpatient clinic of Fethiye State Hospital. The cases will be divided into 2 groups by randomization software. The control group will receive stretching, strengthening, core stabilization and educational content as usual care 3 months post-operatively. The study group will be given motion control exercises in addition to the program given to the control group 3 months post-operatively. These applications will be applied to the patients face-to-face in the clinical environment 2 days a week for 12 weeks. The first evaluation will be performed 3 months post-operatively before the treatment and the second evaluation will be performed 3 months after the treatment.
