¿Los ejercicios de potenciación muscular, estiramientos y de McKenzie alivian las lumbalgias en los jinetes? Estudio de intervención no farmacológico basado en un programa de ejecicios combinados

Abstract

La equitación es un deporte que puede generar lumbalgias en los jinetes por debilidad de la musculatura profunda del tronco, movimientos de los discos intervertebrales o la falta de amplitud articular de la cadera. El objetivo del estudio es de conocer el efecto sobre lumbalgias de jinetes de un programa de ejercicios combinados compuesto por estiramientos de la articulación de la cadera, potenciación muscular del core y ejercicios basados en el método McKenzie. El estudio tendrá una muestra compuesta por jinetes y se llevará a cabo mediante la aleatorización de participantes en un grupo control sin tratamiento y un grupo experimental realizando el programa de ejercicios durante 10 semanas. La valoración del dolor se cumplirá mediante la escala numérica verbal antes de iniciar la intervención, a la quinta y a la última semana. Posteriormente se analizarán los resultados con el programa estadístico SPSS. Compararemos el dolor antes y después del tratamiento de ambos grupos para conocer el posible efecto de los ejercicios combinados sobre las lumbalgias. Si los resultados esperados están confirmados, el estudio servirá a los fisioterapeutas de utilidad práctica. Podrán proponer la combinación de los ejercicios del estudio para mejorar las lumbalgias de jinetes. Horse riding is a sport that can cause low back pain (LBP) in riders due to weakness of the deep trunk muscles, movements of the intervertebral discs or lack of joint width of the hip. The aim of this study is to know the effect on LBP of riders of a combined exercise program composed of stretching of the hip joint, core musculature strengthening, and exercises based on the McKenzie method. The study will have a sample composed of riders and will be carried out through the randomization of participants in a control group without treatment and an experimental group performing the exercise program for 10 weeks. The assessment of the pain will be fulfilled by means of the verbal numerical scale before starting the intervention, the fifth and the last week. 3 Subsequently, the results will be analysed with the statistical program SPSS. We will compare the pain before and after the treatment of both groups to know the effect of the combined exercises on LBP. If the expected results are confirmed, the study will serve the physiotherapists of practical use. They will be able to propose the combination of the exercises of the study to improve the LBP of riders.
