Combine Effects of Core Stabilization Exercises and Myofascial Induction Therapy on Lumber Pain, Core Endurance and Quality of Life in Postpartum Low-back Pain
Overview
The aim of this study is to determine the combine effects of core stabilization exercises and Myofascial Induction therapy on lumber pain, core endurance and quality of life on postpartum low-back pain.
Detailed description
A randomized controlled trial will be conducted at Bashir Hospital and Fatima Hospital, Sialkot recruiting 40 female patients (aged between 20-45 years) with postpartum low back pain. Participants will be randomly assigned into two groups using a non-probability convenience sampling technique. The Experimental group A will receive myofascial induction therapy along with core stabilization exercises thrice a week for a total of 8 weeks, and the Control group B will receive only core stabilization exercises three times a week for a total of 8 weeks. Both groups will also receive baseline treatment that includes a hot pack and TENS for 15 minutes. Outcome measures include lumbar pain, core endurance and quality of life will be measured by using the Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS), Supine Bridge test and the Short Form health survey (SF-36) and. Data will be analyzed by SPSS version 21. Outcome measures will be assessed pre-test and post-test.
Interventions
- Other CORE STABILIZATION EXERCISES
Total 5 sets will perform and each set contain 10 repetitions with rest period of 10 sec between each set. Three sessions will be given per week for a total of 8 weeks and each session will be of 30- 45 mins - Other MYOFASCIAL INDUCTION THERAPY
All of the MIT techniques, will applied to the patients for a total of 40 min in a session, three time per week for eight weeks
