抄録

Sixty-two patients in total: 30 with disc lesion, 17 with lumbago, 5 with lumbago caused by trauma, 4 with post operative complaints after spine surgery, 3 with spondylolysis and 3 with spondylosis deformans were now treated by lumbago-gymnastics, as they had not got well inspite of various kinds of conservative treatment and had not been allowed to come back to their former jobs.
After treated by the gymnastics, their chief complaints decreased in number and clinical findings much improved.
In order to obtain the results after leaving hospital, these patients were sent a questionnaire as to the condition of the low back, and 46 patients sent back the questionnaires. They had the average 10 months after discharge. 72% of them answered that they had a good and excellent low back, Now, we are sure that the low backache should be treated by some kinds of exercise which are conservative but dynamic.
