Summary

This study looked at whether a type of exercise called dynamic neuromuscular stabilization (DNS) can help people who had surgery for a herniated disc in their lower back. Fifty adults aged 35-50 who had the surgery did DNS exercises for 8 weeks. The goal was to see if the exercises could reduce pain, improve daily function, and lessen fear of movement. The study measured outcomes using questionnaires about disability, physical activity, fear, and pain.
