Mohammadimajd E, Lotfinia I, Salahzadeh Z, et al. - This study was undertaken to compare the impacts of lumbar segmental stabilization and general exercises on clinical and radiologic criteria in grade‐I spondylolisthesis patients. A double‐blind randomized controlled trial with a test–retest design and parallel groups was conducted to include a sum of 26 patients with grade‐I spondylolisthesis who were allocated randomly to experimental group (13 patients, lumbar segmental stabilization exercises) and control group (13 patients, general exercises). Researchers assessed pain, functional disability, kinesiophobia, translational motion, angular motion and slip percentage of the vertebra. The data showed that in patients with grade‐I spondylolisthesis, both lumbar segmental stabilization and general exercises led to reduction in pain and functional disability. The evidence showed that lumbar segmental stabilization exercises appeared to be better than general ones with reference to enhancing kinesiophobia and intervertebral movements.
