Generalized Segmental Stabilization Exercises, Segmental Stabilization
Conditions
Brief summary
Chronic low back pain effects more than 50% of general population. It's prevalence is higher is young adults that are economically active adults. Its significance is often underestimated because usually young adults ignore these initial episodes of low back pain due to their busy life style or life full of commitments. Approximately 70% of adults have at least one episode of low back pain during their lifetimes.
Detailed description
It will be randomized control trial with 60 patients with chronic low back pain divided into 2 groups. One group will be given segmental stabilization whose purpose is to achieve segmental control over primary stabilizers. Second group will be given just generalized lumber stabilization exercises as it includes close chain exercises with low velocity as well as low load. This study will be conducted in Rehabilitation setup of Benazir Bhutto hospital Rawalpindi and IIRS that is Rehabilitation dept. at Al Nafees medical college and hospital, Islamabad. Non probability Convenience Sampling technique will be utilized
Interventions
OTHERSegmental stabilization
Physiotherapist will perform activation of multifidus in prone position. It also includes activation of transverse abdominas in crook lying position, in sitting as well as in point kneeling position to re-establish simultaneous contraction of deep muscles synergy.
OTHERGeneralized Lumber stabilization exercsies
It can by performed by patient him or her self under physiotherapist's assistance. Lumber neutral position is maintained. Bridging in prone as well as supine position will be maintained.
