摘要:With the onset of the pandemic, the world has changed and everyone was forced to stay in the house for a few weeks, and after that period, nothing was the same. The researchers point out that online physiotherapy should become an integral part of the post-COVID-19 treatment mix. Through this study we want to highlight the effectiveness of therapeutic physical exercise applied online in patients with chronic low back pain. This clinical condition is characterized by pain in the lumbar area between 2 and 7 (VAS), over a period of more than 3 months and negatively affects labor productivity, affecting more and more people. According to the WHO, 60% to 70% of adults in industrialized countries suffer from chronic low back pain. The most affected age is 50-55 years. Our study was conducted on a sample of 50 participants aged 40 to 50 years with chronic low back pain - VAS initially assessed between 5 and 6. Another selection criterion was the presence of pain of at least 6 months. In addition to assessing pain using VAS, participants performed a set of functional tests. The implemented program consisted of 20 sessions broadcast live, the duration of each session was 40 minutes, the pace of the sessions being 3 times / week. Following the final evaluation using VAS, but also as a result of the resuming of the battery of functional tests, the results showed a significant reduction in pain felt by participants (paired t test was used) and a significant improvement in body function.
