Brief Summary:
This interventional clinical study evaluated the effectiveness of two different 4-week rehabilitation programs in older adults aged 60-75 years with radiologically confirmed grade I or II spondylolisthesis. Participants were assigned to one of two parallel treatment groups. One group received a standardized kinesiotherapy program combined with physical therapy modalities, while the second group received the same kinesiotherapy program combined with myofascial trigger point therapy. Treatment effectiveness was assessed using pain intensity, functional disability, postural stability, and trunk muscle strength measures.
Detailed Description:
The study was conducted as an interventional clinical trial in an outpatient rehabilitation setting in Warsaw, Poland. Participants aged 60-75 years with radiologically confirmed degenerative or isthmic spondylolisthesis grade I or II were enrolled after providing written informed consent. The study protocol was approved by the Senate Ethics Committee for Scientific Research of the Józef Piłsudski University of Physical Education in Warsaw (approval number SKE 01-47/2021).
Participants were randomly assigned to one of two parallel intervention groups using sealed envelopes. Both groups followed the same standardized kinesiotherapy exercise program. In Group 1, the exercise program was combined with physical therapy modalities. In Group 2, the same exercise program was combined with myofascial trigger point therapy instead of physical therapy. Each participant completed a 4-week rehabilitation program, with a total duration of approximately 16 hours of physiotherapy procedures.
Outcome measures included pain intensity assessed using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), functional disability measured with the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), postural stability assessed by static stabilography, and trunk muscle strength measured under static conditions. Assessments were performed at baseline (before the rehabilitation program), immediately after completion of the 4-week intervention, and 6 weeks after the end of the program.
