Efeito do fortalecimento dos músculos do quadril na dor lombar inespecífica

Abstract

Introduction: Low back pain is a common health condition in the adult population, which can decrease the quality of life of these individuals. In the existing literature, there is a deficit of studies related to the effectiveness of strengthening hip muscles for the intervention of low back pain. Objective: To investigate the effect of strengthening the hip muscles on non-specific low back pain in individuals between 18 and 60 years old. Methodology: This is a literature review. The research was carried out in the PEDro, MEDLINE and LILACS databases, between January 2022 and October 2022. Articles published in English were selected that related hip strengthening in adults with any complaint of low back pain over 12 weeks; with publication date between 2015 and 2022. Studies that did not address the intervention and systematic reviews were excluded. Results: A total of 599 studies were found in the databases, of which 572 were excluded after reading the title and 13 after reading the abstract. There were 14 potentially eligible articles left, and after reading the articles in full, 6 were excluded after duplicates and 2 were excluded because they did not specifically address the research topic. Finally, a final sample of 6 articles was included in this review. Conclusion: In the present review, few current studies were found that analyzed the effect of hip strengthening on nonspecific low back pain with few promising results for clinical practice. Therefore, it is necessary to develop new research for better applicability.
