| Introduction: The objective of this study was to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of dynamic neuromuscular stabilization exercises and yoga in enhancing motor function and improving proprioception among women experiencing chronic nonspecific low back pain. Methods: This quasi-experimental research utilized a pre-test and post-test design to assess the impacts of dynamic neuromuscular training versus yoga on the participants. A total of 45 women were randomly divided into three groups: two intervention groups and one control group. Motor function and proprioception levels were measured using various scales, and the data were analyzed through descriptive and inferential statistics, including ANOVA, with SPSS22 software. The primary aim was to determine how these exercise interventions influenced motor function in the participants. Results: The findings indicated that both intervention programs effectively enhanced motor function (p=0.001), improved proprioception (p=0.001). A significant difference was noted between the control group and the yoga group regarding motor function (p=0.001), proprioception (p=0.001) during the post-test and follow-up assessments. Additionally, significant differences were observed between the control group and the dynamic neuromuscular stabilization group for these same variables. The comparison of the two intervention methods revealed a significant difference in the during the post-test and follow-up periods, with a notable difference in motor function during the follow-up (p=0.04). However, no significant differences were found in other variables between the two training approaches. Conclusion: In conclusion, the results demonstrated that both yoga and dynamic neuromuscular stabilization exercises effectively enhanced motor function and improved proprioception. Given their cost-effectiveness and absence of adverse effects, it is recommended that occupational therapists and rehabilitation specialists incorporate these exercises into their practices to help alleviate symptoms associated with chronic low back pain. |
