Description

[Purpose] For three cases with different stages of non-specific low-back pain (LBP), we conducted direct stretching of the tensor fascia latae, and strengthening exercises for the gluteus medius, and investigated the immediate effects. [Subjects] The subjects were 3 persons diagnosed as having non-specific LBP: a 24-year-old female in the acute stage, a 32-year-old male in the chronic stage, and a 20-year-old male in the chronic stage with acute exacerbation. [Methods] This study used an AB type single case design comprised of leg positioning for pain relief in the A stage, and direct stretching of the tensor fascia latae, and strengthening exercises for the gluteus medius in the B stage. With a visual analog pain scale (VAS), finger-floor distance (FFD), and posterior lumbar flexibility (PLF) as assessment indices, we performed analyses using the binomial test. [Results] VAS, FFD, and PLF showed significant improvements in the B stage compared to the A stage. [Conclusion] The results suggest direct stretching of the tensor fascia latae, and strengthening exercises for the gluteus medius have an immediate effect on non-specific LBP of different stages. <br>
