What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
lumbar ROM by inclinometer.
Flexion 60 Extension 25 Left Lat Flex 25 Right Lat Flex 25
Measured: 12 days
Lumbar Posture by flexicurve ruler.
Excessive lordosis (EL) is over 75°, normal lordosis (NL) is 40°, hypo-lordosis (HL) is in the 20°
Measured: 12 days
Secondary outcomes (2)
pain on Numeric pain rating scale.
Changes from baseline, Pain was measured through Numeric pain rating scale.It comprises of a continuous scale of 10cm line.0 to 1 represent no pain, 1 to 3 represent mild pain ,4 to 6 represent moderate pain, 7 to 10 represent severe pain.
Measured: 12 days
functional outcome by Oswestry low back pain disability questionnaire.
0% to 20%: minimal disability: The patient can cope with most living activities. Usually no treatment is indicated apart from advice on lifting sitting and exercise. 21%-40%: moderate disability: The patient experiences more pain and difficulty with sitting, lifting and standing. Travel and social life are more difficult and they may be disabled from work. Personal care, sexual activity and sleeping are not grossly affected and the patient can usually be managed by conservative means. 41%-60%: severe disability: Pain remains the main problem in this group but activities of daily living are affected. These patients require a detailed investigation. 61%-80%: crippled: Back pain impinges on all aspects of the patient's life. Positive intervention is required. 81%-100%:These patients are either bed-bound or exaggerating their symptoms
Measured: 12 days
