The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of the muscular exercise and balance exercise on lumbar muscular strength in patients with lumbar spine surgery. Three groups were performed 60 minutes per day and three times a week during 8 weeks. At pre and post exercise, Medx lumbas extension strength test and VAS scale were conducted. The lumbar extension strength was measured at seven degrees of lumbar flexion angles, which are 0°, 12°, 24°, 36°, 48°, 60° and 72° before and after the exercise program. Visual analogue scale was measured by modified table of visual table of analogue scale. The data were analyzed utilizing two-way ANOVA with repeated measures. The results were as follows: 1. As a result of measuring lumbar muscular strength before and after carrying out the exercise program, lumbar muscular strength of the balance exercise group has increased significantly (p<.001, p<.01, p0.05) compared to the muscular exercise group. 2. As a result of measuring visual analogue scale before and after carrying out the exercise program, visual analogue scale of the balance exercise group has decreased significantly (p<.05) compared to the muscular exercise group. Especially, it was shown that balance exercise training was more effective in enhancing the variables compared to resistance exercise training, indicating that the exercise training program for improving the lumbar muscular strength and the abdominal strength for patients with lumbar spine surgery..
