About this study
Official title: Immediate Effect of Two Selected Mulligan Techniques on Lumbar Sagittal Mobility in Nonspecific Low Back Pain
To compare between immediate effect of SNAG and mulligan lion position in range of motion (ROM) , pain, functional ability and kinesiophobia on patients with nonspecific low back pain.
Read the detailed description
Low back pain (LBP) is a global health problem.Orthopedic Manual therapy (OMT) is most commonly recommended form of treatment of LBP and it is also frequently used in clinical practice in various countries. Mulligan introduced a new technique in manual therapy. Mulligan has a great role in the treatment of LBP.General techniques of mulligan are MWM, SNAGs and natural apophyseal glides (NAGs).
Lumber SNAG have immediate and short term on pain and function in treatment of patients with NSLBP.Mulligan has special techniques, one of them is modified lumbar SNAG (lion position) .It has short term effect in reducing pain and activity limitation. Up to investigated knowledge, No previous studies comparing immediate effect of two techniques in range of motion (ROM), pain, functional ability and kinesiophobia

What participants receive

mulligan SNAG and mulligan lion positionProcedure or surgery
Also called moblization with movement
manual therapy techniques for lumbar spine
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| mulligan SNAG | Experimental | Patients in this group will receive mulligan SNAG from sitting position and McGill stabilization exercises.The glide will be performed six repetitions for three sets for one session and McGill stabilization exercises as a home program: 7 days a week and 10 repetitions of each exercise for 2times per day and a rest interval of 2 minutes between exercises Receives: Procedure: mulligan SNAG and mulligan lion position |
| mulligan lion position | Experimental | Patients in this group will receive mulligan modified lumbar SNAG lion position and McGill stabilization exercises.Modified lumbar SNAGs (lion position) will be applied in a quadruped position (lion position)six repetitions for three sets for one session . McGill stabilization exercises as a home program: 7 days a week and 10 repetitions of each exercise for 2times per day and a rest interval of 2 minutes between exercises The therapist stands to one side of the patient and applies (SNAG) centrally to the spinous process of the involved segment. The medial border of the hand is hooked under the chosen segment while the other arm encircles the trunk to stabilize the upper body. The therapist maintains the glide while the patient sits back towards their heels (for flexion) . Receives: Procedure: mulligan SNAG and mulligan lion position |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
ROM
ROM by bubble inclinometer
Measured: up to 2 hours after technique
Secondary outcomes (1)
degree of Pain
Pain will be assessed by VAS.
Measured: one week
