An aerobic walking programme versus muscle strengthening programme for chronic low back pain: a randomized controlled trial
Clin Rehabil. 2013 Mar;27(3):207-14. doi: 10.1177/0269215512453353. Epub 2012 Jul 3152 patients with chronic low back pain were randomized to compare the effect of aerobic walking training versus active training in improving functional abilities. Patients performed either moderate-to-intense treadmill walking or specific low back exercises twice a week for 6 weeks and were re-assessed at the end of this period. Results indicated that aerobic walking led to comparable results in the six-minute walk test, trunk flexor endurance, and health functional status as specific strengthening exercises.
