Sažetak
Purpose: Low back pain is one of the most significant public health problems in the World and one of the most common causes of seeking medical attention. Therapeutic exercises play an important role in the treatment of chronic low back pain (Grazio et al., 2012). The MedX device plays an exceptional role in strengthening the extensor muscles of the lower back. The aim of the study was to determine the effectiveness of a strength training program carried out on the MedX medical device on the strength of the lumbar spine extensor muscles. Methods: 10 participants took part in the study. They were randomly selected from a pool of patients of the Centre for Diagnosis and Therapy-Marianowicz in Müchen, Germany. The mean age of the five male participants was 57 ± 8.46 years, while the five women were 57 ± 8.26 years old. Each of the respondents gave their written consent to participate in this pilot study. The strength of the lumbar spine extensor muscle was measured using a MedX device. A series of isometric tests were performed in order to asses maximal isometric strength of the extensor muscles of the lower back in the positions of 0º, 12º, 24º, 36º, 48º, 60º i 72º angles of dorsal extension. Subsequently, 18 isometric strength training sessions of the lumbar spine extensor muscles were performed on the MedX device in the same positions. A final test equal to the initial one followed. Results: The difference in maximal isometric strength of the lumbar spine extensor muscles at the beginning and after 18 training sessions was evaluated by means of a t-test for dependent samples. A significant development of isometric strength of the interested muscles was determined (p=0, 000273). Conclusions: Since the strength of the extensor muscles of the lower back increased, based on the obtained results, the effectiveness of the strength training program performed on the MedX device was confirmed.
