Brief summary
to check the effects of Mckenzie intervention & Pilates intervention on power looms workers having nonspecific chronic low back pain
Detailed description
The purpose of this study is to check and compare the effects of McKenzie back extension exercise and Pilates pelvic tilt exercise on power looms workers having nonspecific chronic low back pain. To check the effects of these interventions on pain, disability, and anterior pelvic tilt angle. In this study pain intensity of the subjects will be noted via a numeric pain rating scale. Pain will be measured at baseline, after 2 weeks and 4 weeks of intervention. In this study disability of the patients will be measured via Quebec back pain disability scale. Disability will be measured at baseline, after 2 weeks and 4 weeks of intervention. In this study, a goniometer will be used to measure the anterior pelvic tilt angle. Anterior pelvic tilt angle will be measured at baseline, after 2 weeks and 4 weeks of intervention.
Interventions
OTHERMcKenzie back extension exercise
McKenzie's back extension exercise consists; start with your belly facing down on the mat. Angle your legs in line with your hips, point your toes, and breathe into the next movement. Gently bending your elbows, push yourself up off the floor, until you feel the extension in your back. Be mindful not to lock your elbows as you support your weight with your hands and wrists for 10 seconds. Take deep inhales and exhales as you move in and out of the pose. Patients will be performed these activities under the supervision of physiotherapist.
OTHERPilates pelvic tilt exercise
Pilates pelvic tilt exercise consists; lie with your back on the floor in a neutral position with your legs bent and toes facing forward. Pull your belly button in toward your spine, pushing your pelvis up toward the ceiling. Tighten your gluteus and hip muscles as you tilt your pelvis forward. Hold for 10 seconds.
OTHERBaseline treatment
Postural guidelines + proper lifting technique + stretch break Rest

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Pain intensity | one month | In this study pain intensity of the subjects will be noted via numeric pain rating scale. The reading of NPRS is in number from 0 to 10 where 0 mean no pain, 10 means worst pain, 1-3 indicate mild pain, 4-6 present moderate pain, and 7-10 means severe pain. Patient tell us in numeric form how much he feels pain for example patient tell us he has 4 pain; its mean patient has moderate pain. |
| Disability index | one month | In this study disability of the patients will be measured via Quebec back pain disability scale. The 20-item Quebec back pain Disability Scale for Back Pain was created to measure degree of functional disability in people who have low back pain. The scale is a dependable and valid measurement used to evaluate each patient's improvement during treatment or rehabilitation programmers. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Anterior pelvic tilt angle abnormailty | one month | In this study goniometer was used to measure the anterior pelvic tilt angle of the power loom workers. Goniometer has three parts the body, stationary arm, and the mobile arm. To check the anterior pelvic tilt angle in subjects the body of the goniometer was placed on the anterior superior iliac spine horizontally, mobile arm was moved to the posterior superior iliac spine and noted the reading displayed on the goniometer. |
