Conditions

Chronic Non Specific Low Back Pain

Keywords

chronic non specific low back pain, integrated nouromuscular inhibition technique, instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization technique

Brief summary

this study will be conducted to identify the difference between the effect of integrated neuromuscular inhibition technique and instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization on back pain, pain threshold, back rang of motion ,back proprioception and back disability in chronic non specific low back pain

Interventions

OTHERExperimental: Group A: integrated neuromuscular inhibition technique

will receive integrated neuromuscular inhibition in addition to conventional treatment,INIT which included IC, SCS, and MET for the low back region for the quadratus lumborum( QL) and erector spinae (ES) muscles

OTHERExperimental: Group B :Instrument assissted soft tissue mobilization

IASTM performed on lumbar posterior muscle erector spinae (iliocostalis, longissimus), and quadratus lumborum(QL) The IASTM treatment was applied for approximately 20-seconds in a direction parallel to the muscle fibers being treated with the instrument at a 45° angle. Followed immediately by treating the muscles in a direction perpendicular to the muscle fibers with the instrument at a 45° angle for an additional 20-seconds, resulting in a total treatment time of approximately 40 seconds.

OTHERcontrol group C conventional physical therapy

. The control group will applied general exercise. General exercise were applied with stretching exercises and stationary bicycling for 10-15 minutes14, 15) . Three sets of fifteen repetitions will performed, with rest times of 1 minute between sets during 4 weeks.

Inclusion criteria

* 1\. The patient's age ranged from 18 to 30 years.(Geogre et al, 2021) 2. Patients with low back pain for more than 3 months (pain felt between T12 and the gluteal fold). 3\. Patient with chronic low back pain 4. Normal body mass index from 18 -25kg/m2.

Exclusion criteria

* The subjects will be excluded if they have any of the followings: 1. Lumbar discogenic lesions or any inflammatory arthritis, tumors, infection involving the lumbar spine. 2. Patients with decreased range of motion secondary to congenital anomalies, muscular contracture, or bony block. 3. Previous lumbar or hip surgery or trauma. 4. Any hip structural abnormality such as malformations, impingements and degeneration. 5. Patients With cognitive impairments that would limit their participation
