Pengaruh Latihan Core Stability Terhadap Penurunan Nyeri dan Peningkatan Fungsi Pada Pasien Low Back Pain Non-Spesifik

Introduction

Pengaruh latihan core stability terhadap penurunan nyeri dan peningkatan fungsi pada pasien low back pain non-spesifik. Latihan core stability efektif menurunkan nyeri & meningkatkan fungsi pada pasien Low Back Pain non-spesifik. Studi ini merekomendasikannya untuk program rehabilitasi fisioterapi.

Abstract

Low Back Pain (LBP) non-spesifik merupakan salah satu gangguan muskuloskeletal yang paling sering terjadi dan menjadi penyebab utama disabilitas global. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pengaruh latihan core stability terhadap penurunan nyeri dan peningkatan fungsi pada pasien LBP non-spesifik. Metode penelitian menggunakan desain quasi experimental dengan pendekatan pre-test dan post-test. Sampel penelitian berjumlah 30 responden yang mengalami LBP non-spesifik di klinik fisioterapi selama periode Januari–Maret 2025. Intervensi berupa latihan core stability dilakukan selama 4 minggu dengan frekuensi 3 kali per minggu. Instrumen pengukuran menggunakan Visual Analog Scale (VAS) untuk nyeri dan Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) untuk fungsi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan adanya penurunan signifikan skor nyeri (p < 0,05) serta peningkatan fungsi aktivitas sehari-hari (p < 0,05). Disimpulkan bahwa latihan core stability efektif dalam menurunkan nyeri dan meningkatkan fungsi pada pasien LBP non-spesifik. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan adanya penurunan signifikan skor nyeri dan peningkatan fungsi setelah pemberian latihan core stability. Temuan ini mengindikasikan bahwa latihan core stability efektif dalam memperbaiki stabilitas lumbal, mengurangi nyeri, serta meningkatkan kemampuan aktivitas sehari-hari pada pasien LBP non-spesifik. Dengan demikian, latihan core stability dapat direkomendasikan sebagai bagian dari program rehabilitasi fisioterapi pada kondisi LBP non-spesifik.

Review

This study, titled "Pengaruh Latihan Core Stability Terhadap Penurunan Nyeri dan Peningkatan Fungsi Pada Pasien Low Back Pain Non-Spesifik," addresses a critical health issue, non-specific low back pain (LBP), which is a leading cause of global disability. The authors employed a quasi-experimental, pre-test and post-test design to investigate the impact of core stability exercises on pain reduction and functional improvement in 30 patients. Over a four-week intervention period, with exercises performed three times weekly, the study utilized validated instruments, the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for pain and the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) for function. The findings clearly demonstrated significant reductions in pain scores and notable improvements in daily activity function, both with a p-value less than 0.05. The research presents a valuable contribution to the evidence base for LBP management. Its strengths lie in addressing a highly prevalent clinical problem, utilizing well-established outcome measures, and providing clear, statistically significant results that support the efficacy of core stability training. The intervention duration and frequency appear clinically practical and appropriate. While the quasi-experimental pre-post design effectively demonstrated changes within the study group, the absence of a control group inherently limits the attribution of observed improvements solely to the intervention, as natural recovery or other confounding factors cannot be entirely ruled out. Furthermore, a detailed description of the specific core stability exercises implemented would be beneficial for replication purposes, although this level of detail is often beyond the scope of an abstract. In conclusion, this study provides compelling evidence that core stability exercises are effective in mitigating pain and enhancing functional capacity in individuals suffering from non-specific LBP. The results strongly advocate for the integration of core stability training into standard physiotherapy rehabilitation programs. Future research could build upon these findings by incorporating a randomized controlled trial design, employing larger sample sizes to enhance generalizability, and investigating the long-term sustainability of these benefits. Nevertheless, the current findings offer a clear and actionable recommendation for clinicians managing non-specific LBP patients.
