Abstract

This study was designed to compare difference between balance exercises added to traditional treatment and traditional treatment alone in treating spondylolisthesis patients. Thirty patients from both sexes diagnosed as isthmic lumbar spondylolisthesis grade two associated with low back pain and radiculopathy (as confirmed by x-ray); will be selected from Kasr EL-Aini hospital outpatient clinics (neurology and physical therapy). Their age was 30-50 years with a chief complaint of chronic low back pain. They were randomly selected. They were evaluated on the basis of medical review and an objective examination by a neurologist and physical therapist. They were divided into two groups; A and B. Data regarding the balance were collected from each subject through computerized dynamic posturography in El-Kasr Elini. Assessment included static (sway velocity of center of gravity during unilateral and double stance) and dynamic (rhythmic weight shift).The results of this study revealed significant improvement of balance in both groups with superiority of group (B) which received traditional and balance exercises using the NeuroCom Balance master System
