Efeitos do treino de estabilização do músculo transverso abdominal no controle da dor em indivíduos com lombalgia inespecífica

Abstract

Introduction: Low back pain is a disease of the spine most often treated by physiotherapists and the second leading cause of job absenteeism by the economically active population. Evidence suggests that patients with low back pain have an imbalance between individual capacity and demand imposed on column, changing the trunk stability. Modification Hypotheses in neuromuscular control contribute to low back pain. The purpose of this literature review was to investigate the effects of training stabilization of transverse abdominal muscle in controlling pain in patients with inespecific low back pain. Methodology: This study is a literature review that was conducted a literature search in the databases Medline, SciELO, Lilacs and Google Scholar. The selected studies should involve individuals with inespecific low back pain at any stage, whose intervention involving specific lumbar stabilization exercises and analyze the outcome pain. Results: According to the exclusion criteria, 486 articles were found of which 473 were excluded by reading the title or abstract. Among the 13 abstracts selected for complete reading, only 4 were included in this review. Conclusion: The review allowed to find that the practice of stabilizing the transverse abdominal muscle has positive effects on pain control in individuals with inespecific low back pain. However, there is little evidence that the training stabilization has better results when compared to other interventions. Thus, this hampers the establishment of consensus on the effectiveness of therapeutic approaches in the context low back pain.
