Effect of Open Chain Versus Closed Chain Segmental Control Exercises on Cross Sectional Area of Lumbar Multifidus Muscle in Chronic Mechanical Low Back Pain

Overview

To investigate the effect of adding open versus closed chain segmental control exercises to conventional treatment program on pain intensity, lumbar ROM, and CSA of multifidus muscle.

Detailed description

* To investigate the effect of adding open versus closed chain segmental control exercises to conventional treatment program on pain intensity. * To investigate the effect of adding open versus closed chain segmental control exercises to conventional treatment program on lumber ROM. * To investigate the effect of adding open versus closed chain segmental control exercises to conventional treatment program on CSA of multifidus muscle. * To investigate the effect of adding open versus closed chain segmental control exercises to conventional treatment program on lumber function.

Interventions

  • Other Conventional treatment
    Application of ultrasound and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation "TENS" for mechanical low back pain.
  • Other Open chain segmental control
    Application of "open chain segmental control exercises" As well as, application of ultrasound and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation "TENS" for mechanical low back pain.
  • Other Closed chain segmental control
    Application of "closed chain segmental control exercises" As well as, application of ultrasound and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation "TENS" for mechanical low back pain.

Primary outcome measures

  • Cross sectional area of multifidus muscle [Time frame: Pre and Post measurement (12 weeks)]
  • Pain intensity [Time frame: Pre and Post measurement (12 weeks)]
Secondary outcome measures (2)
  • ROM of lumbar spine [Time frame: Pre and Post measurement (12 weeks)]
  • Functional ability of lumbar spine [Time frame: Pre and Post measurement (12 weeks)]

Eligibility criteria
