Mechanical Low Back Pain
Conditions
Brief summary
This study is a randomized controlled trial and the purpose of this study is to determined the effects of sacral mobilizations along with the lumbar mobilizations in mechanical low back pain on components such as pain , lumbar range of motion, lumbar proprioception and functional disability.
Detailed description
This study is based on the concept the sacral hypomobility can cause low back pain. Sacral and lumbar mobilizations both improve low back pain.
Interventions
PROCEDURELumbar Mobilizations
Lumbar mobilization protocol: Grade II or III lumbar stretch mobilization on lumbar hypomobile segments. Therapeutic exercise protocol: Therapeutic exercise protocol include warmup, strengthening and cool down phase.
PROCEDURELumbar and sacral mobilizations
Lumbar mobilization protocol: Grade II or III lumbar stretch mobilization on lumbar hypomobile segments. Sacral Mobilization protocol: Grade II or III sacral mobilization as sacral stretch mobilizations. Therapeutic exercise protocol: Therapeutic exercise protocol include warmup, strengthening and cool down phase.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Pain intensity | 2 weeks | Numeric pain scale rating (NPRS) w3ill be used and It ranges from 0 to 10, 0 means no pain and 10 means worst pain. |
| Lumbar Range of Motion | 2 weeks | It will be measured by Inclinometer . it is Measured by placing the inclinometers at T12 and S1. |
| Functional Disability | 2 weeks | It will be measured by Oswestry Disability Index. It is a 10 items questionnaire used to assess the degree of disability in individuals with low back pain. |
| Lumbar Proprioception | 2 weeks | it is measured by Joint position sense/ error test . it is Measured by placing the inclinometers at T12 and S1. |
