Summary

The aim of the study is to investigate the effects of dynamic neuromuscular stabilization exercises on pain, functionality and fear in individuals who have undergone lumbar disc herniation surgery.

Detailed description

The research was planned as a randomized controlled trial, which is a quantitative study. Participants will be divided into 2 groups as control and exercise groups by simple randomization method. The individuals in the control group of the study will not be given any exercise program after surgery. A home exercise program created with Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization exercises after surgery will be applied to the individuals in the intervention group. Data collection will be carried out through an online survey. The scales and forms to be used before and after the treatment are respectively: 1. Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Questionnaire 2. International Physical Activity Questionnaire (Short Form) 3. Questionnaire for Fear of Daily Living Activities The questionnaires will be uploaded to the Google Forms database and the participants will be accessed via e-mail or mobile phone applications. . They will be asked to fill out the questionnaires before starting the post-surgical exercise program and the exercise program will be explained practically before discharge. The exercises will be planned 3 times a week and for 8 weeks.

Conditions

• Low Back Pain
• Kinesiophobia

Interventions
