Abstract

Background: The David Spine Concept (DSC) device-based physical therapy for low back pain involves the quantitative assessment of lumbar muscle strength and range of motion. The study aims to determine the effectiveness of the DSC device-based therapy for low back pain.

 

Methods: In this retrospective observational study, clinical data of 103 patients who underwent DSC device-based physiotherapy were reviewed. Pre- and posttreatment outcome measures for pain and disability were assessed.

 

Results: Our results showed statistically significant improvement in terms of disability, pain, and functional status after physiotherapy.

 

Conclusion: The DSC device-based therapy effectively relieved pain, improved function, and reduced disability in patients with low back pain.
