Penatalaksanaan Fisioterapi pada Kondisi Hernia Nukleus Pulposus Lumbal Untuk Meningkatkan Kemampuan Fungsional Lansia dengan Modalitas Tens dan Core Stability

Abstract

HNP is a degenerative process that causes decreased flexibility and thinning of the intervertebral disc nucleus pulposus resulting in tearing of the annulus fibrosus which causes low back pain which can interfere with functional activities in the elderly. The purpose of this study was to determine Management Physiotherapy of Hernia Nucleus Pulposus Lumbar Conditions For Increase Functional Ability Elderly With TENS Modalities And Core Stability.
