Overview
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
- Procedure Lumbar 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. - Procedure Lumbar 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.
Primary outcome measures
- Pain intensity [Time frame: 2 weeks]
- Lumbar Range of Motion [Time frame: 2 weeks]
- Functional Disability [Time frame: 2 weeks]
- Lumbar Proprioception [Time frame: 2 weeks]
Eligibility criteria
- Inclusion Criteria Adults 18 to 45 years Both genders Low back (from T12 to buttock line) pain for more than 3 months The CMLBP is the chief complaint without leg pain.
