THE EFFECT OF VIBRATION EXERCISE AS A REHABILITATION TREATMENT IN WOMEN WITH EARLY-STAGE LUMBAR OSTEOCHONDROSIS

Keywords: osteochondrosis, vibration technology, rehabilitation

Abstract

Aim. This paper aims to evaluate the effect of a 90-day vibration exercise program on spinal performance in women aged 35–40 with early-stage lumbar osteochondrosis. Materials and methods. The intervention consisted of three weekly sessions of vibration exercise over 90 days, focusing on the angle of deviation and exercise performance. Primary outcomes included sagittal range of motion, lateral flexion assessment, Schober test results, spinal curvature and flexibility measurements, and the prone leg extension test. Results. This study provides evidence for the effectiveness of vibration exercise in enhancing spinal flexibility and range of motion in women aged 35–40 with early-stage lumbar osteochondrosis. The observed improvements are due to a combination of physiological mechanisms. Conclusion. Compared to controls, the intervention group demonstrated enhanced spinal flexibility (+19.86% vs. +9.40%) and significant lordosis reduction (5.67/15.67/9.67°).
