Abstract

Our objective is to verify the Role of sit-ups exercises on the non-specific low back pain of the postpartum women. 234 patients were randomly divided into two groups: group A and group B, with the same 117 patients in each group. Group A received sit-ups training and group B didn’t. All 234 patients were followed up. The follow-up period was 12-17 months and the average follow-up time was 15months. According to VAS scores, counting the low back pain incidence and prevalence at 3 and 12 months postpartum. Through T-test by SPSS software, the prevalence between the two groups has significant difference(t=12.098, p 0.05) in 3 and 12 months postpartum. It is found that sit-ups exercises can effectively reduce the postpartum non-specific low back pain prevalence. The pain prevalence of group A experienced spontaneous delivery was significantly lower than that of group B underwent uterine-incision delivery, which suggests that the abdominal muscles may play an important role for non-specific low back pain.
