Background: Therapeutic exercise is essential in patients with low back pain and lumbopelvic instability. Intra-abdominal pressure is necessary for ideal dynamic stabilization patterns. However, accurate performance of such exercises is a challenge. A trunk harness can help stabilize and alter muscular patterns. This study aimed to examine the effects of using a trunk harness on lumbopelvic stability and muscle activity during prone hip extension in healthy individuals and patients with low back pain. Methods: Sixteen patients with low back pain and 15 healthy individuals performed prone hip extension under control, Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization(DNS)-maneuver, and DNS-maneuver + harness conditions. Lumbopelvic kinematic …
