Low Back Pain
Conditions
Brief summary
This study is a randomized controlled trial and the purpose of this study is to determine the effects of Static Stretching Versus Post Facilitation Stretch of Iliopsoas combined with core stability exercises in Non-Specific Low Back Pain
Detailed description
The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of Static Stretching Versus Post Facilitation Stretch of Iliopsoas on Pain, physical function, lumbar ROM and Hip ROM in patients Non-Specific Low Back Pain adults (age : 30-50 years ) 1. Numeric pain rating scale 2. Goniometer 3. Inclinometer 4. Oswestry Disability Questionairre Data will be collected before and after the intervention protocol for each participant. Data collection procedure: Participants of interest would be approached and explained about the research. Informed written consent will be taken. Pre and post intervention scores will be recorded.
Interventions
PROCEDURECore stability exercises
Core stability Exercises will include: PLANK SIDE PLANK BIRD DOG MS GILL CURLUP PLANK + LEG RAISES SIDE PLANK + LEG RAISES PLANK + WALKS SIDE TO SIDE SIDE PLANK + TWIST BIRD DOG
PROCEDUREStatic Stretching of Iliopsoas
Static Stretching of Iliopsoas (Hold for 7-8s x 10 reps) Week 1 Lifting the leg while lying in a prone position with the knee bent Week 2 Lifting the leg in a prone position with a straight knee Week 3 Stretch in the modified Thomas test position Week 4 Modified launch stretch
PROCEDUREPost Facilitation Stretch of Iliopsoas
Post Facilitation Stretch of Iliopsoas (5-10s x 10 reps) Patient's position supine at the edge of the table, non-effected hip and knee in flexion, experimental thigh and leg hang on the edge of table. Extend the hip of the opposite thigh up to the barrier. After that, the patient flexes the hip against maximal resistance (isometric) and breathes in for 5-10 seconds. Tell the patient Relax, whereas the therapist applies a rapid stretch to a new barrier and is held for 10 seconds.
