Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of online yoga exercises on pain, functional disability and functional tests of the torso and lumbar in middle-aged women with nonspecific chronic low back pain in the Covid 19 pandemic.
Methods: The research was quasi-experimental and applied study. Thirty women with nonspecific chronic low back pain in the age range of 35 to 55 years were selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria as a sample and its were randomly divided into experimental and control groups. In order to measure the variable of pain from the Visual Analog Scale, functional disability from the self-reported questionnaire of Oswestry, ITOO tests for functional tests of the torso and the functional scale of the lumbar were used. Eight weeks of yoga exercises were done online. Data were analyzed by paired t-test and analysis of covariance at the significant level of P≤0.05.
Results: The results showed a significant effect of the online yoga exercises on the variables of pain intensity, functional disability, lumbar executive scale, endurance of flexor and extensor trunk muscles of the experimental group (P≤0.05) and also there was a significant difference on the results of post-test research variables between the two groups (P≤0.05).
Conclusion: According to the results of this study, in relation to the effect of online yoga exercises in improving non-specific chronic low back pain, the use of this type of exercises is recommended in corrective exercises and movement therapy clinics.
