Official title
Lumbal Disk Hernili Hastalarda Fasyal Egzersiz Tabanlı Mobil Uygulama Geliştirilmesi ve Etkinliğinin Araştırılması
Overview
This study will compare three different groups for lumbar disc herniation. The first group will do fascia exercises via a mobile application, the second group will do fascia exercises via a home leaflet, and the third group will do lumbar stabilization exercises via a home leaflet. Since there is not yet a mobile application that includes fascia exercises, this application will be made available to patients for home use after it is developed during the study. The physiotherapist will teach the exercises in the clinical setting in three different groups.
Detailed description
In the study, 20 people in three different groups with a drop-out rate of twenty percent will participate in the study. This number is 60 people in total.
In the study, fascia exercises will be applied at home with the mobile application named Fascia-M for the first group, fascia exercises will be applied at home with the home brochure for the second group, and lumbar stabilization exercises will be applied at home with the home brochure for the third group. Visual pain scale, Tampa kinesiophobia scale, SF-12 Quality of Life Questionnaire, Pittsburg Sleep Quality Scale, modified schober test, digital inclinometer measurements will be applied and evaluated by the physiotherapist before and after the study.
Interventions
- Other fascial exercise home brochure
Fascia exercises are taught by the physiotherapist in the clinical setting and if the exercises are performed incorrectly, intervention is made and the correct exercise is taught. At home, the individual is motivated and monitored with an exercise diary. He/she remembers the exercises from the home brochure. - Other Fascial exercise based mobile application
Fascia exercises are taught by the physiotherapist in the clinical setting and if the exercises are performed incorrectly, intervention is made and the correct exercise is taught. At home, the individual is motivated and monitored with an exercise diary. Performs the exercises by watching videos on the mobile application. The physiotherapist intervenes in motivation with instant notifications via the mobile application. - Other lumbal stabilizasyon home brochure
Participants assigned to the intervention group will receive a structured home-based lumbar stabilization exercise program designed to improve spinal stability, core muscle control, and functional performance. The program will target deep trunk stabilizer muscles, including the transversus abdominis and multifidus, through low-load, motor control-based exercises. The intervention will last for 14 days, with exercises to be performed 3 times for everyday, Each session will last approximately 20-
