The Effect of Unstable Sling Exercise Training for a Long Jump Athlete with Lumbar Spondylolisthesis: a case report Cheng, S; Chang, H; Chen, C Question: Is conservative treatment effective to athletes with lumbar spondylolisthesis? Design: A case report. Participant: A 21-year-old long jump athlete who was diagnosed with the 5th lumbar spine spondylolisthesis with manual tests and radiology. The athlete suffered from severe back pain during sprinting and long jump with low back hyperextension. Intervention: The athlete took conservative rehabilitation treatments with 3 stages, including physiotherapy, 8 weeks basic core muscles training and 6 months unstable resistance training, such as suspension exercise. Outcome measures: Lumbar stability test, lumbar proprioception test, trunk forward bending with weight test, Oswestry disability index (ODI) and sports performance evaluation were used in this study. Results: The results showed 75% improvement in lumbar stability test, 100% in lumbar proprioception test, 17 points in ODI, and 23 cm better in long jump performance. Conclusion: The conservative treatment with 3 stages is beneficial to the long jump athlete who successfully returned to sport with better performance.
