چکیده    Objective: to determine whether the effectiveness of core stability exercises correlates with the severity of spinal stenosis in patients with degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis. methods: forty-two patients with degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis treated in the department of orthopedics of our hospital between may 2013 and january 2016 were included in the study. all the patients performed core stability exercises once daily for six weeks,and the clinical outcomes were evaluated using japanese orthopaedic association (joa) score and self-reported walking capacity. the anteroposterior osseous spinal canal diameter was measured to evaluate the severity of spinal stenosis. the correlation between the stenosis degree and the differences of japanese orthopaedic association score or self-reported walking capacity at baseline and after treatment were analyzed. results: the patients were divided into three groups according to the spinal stenosis degree. in the three groups,there was no significant difference in joa or self-reported walking distance at baseline (p>0.05) and after treatment (p>0.05). the joa scores and self-reported walking distance were significantly increased after treatment (p<0.05) in any of the three groups when compared to the baseline. also,there was no significant correlation between the stenosis degree and the difference of joa (p>0.05) or self-reported walking distance (p>0.05). conclusion: there was no significant correlation between the effectiveness of core stability exercises and the severity of spinal stenosis in patients with degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis. © 2017,professional medical publications. all rights reserved.
