Abstract

Background and Aim: lumbar hyperlordosis is one of the most common disorders of the musculoskeletal system that can lead to many problems for a person, including back pain and decreased function, Therefore the purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of 8 weeks of corrective exercises on the lumbar lordosis angle and static and dynamic balance in non-athlete men with lumbar hyperlordosis.
Materials and Methods: The present study is quasi-experimental 26 men aged 18 to 25 years in Tehran city with lumbar hyperlordosis (greater than or equal to 51 degrees), with a mean age of 21.69±2.58 years, weight 70.56±8.66 kg and height 177.35 ± 8.01 cm was purposefully selected and then randomly divided into two groups) experimental: )13 N , control: 13 N). The experimental group did corrective exercises for eight weeks and the control group did not do any exercises during these eight weeks. The lumbar lordosis angle was assessed using a flexible ruler and the dynamic balance was assessed through Y balance test and static balance assessed through balance error scoring system test in two stages, pre-test and post-test(after eight weeks). The paired sample t-test spss was used to examine the whithin-group changes and the independent sample t test was used to compare the between-group differences.
Results: The results of this study showed that the corrective exercises group had significantly better performance in lumbar lordosis angle and balance In the post-test compared to the pre-test (P 0.05). Also, the comparison of lumbar lordosis angle and balance in post-test, indicated a significant difference between experimental and control groups (P
