About this study
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.
Read the 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.
- Conditions
- Mechanical Low Back Pain
- Being tested
- Lumbar Mobilizations, Lumbar and sacral mobilizations
- Medical subject headings
- Low Back Pain
What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Lumbar MobilizationsProcedure or surgery
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.
Lumbar and sacral mobilizationsProcedure or surgery
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.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Group A: lumbar mobilization | Active comparator | Lumbar mobilizations along with the standard therapeutic exercise protocol. Receives: Procedure: Lumbar Mobilizations |
| Group B: Sacral mobilizations+lumbar mobilization | Experimental | Sacral mobilizations in addition to the lumbar mobilization and therapeutic exercise. Receives: Procedure: Lumbar and sacral mobilizations |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Pain intensity
Numeric pain scale rating (NPRS) w3ill be used and It ranges from 0 to 10, 0 means no pain and 10 means worst pain.
Measured: 2 weeks
Lumbar Range of Motion
It will be measured by Inclinometer . it is Measured by placing the inclinometers at T12 and S1.
Measured: 2 weeks
Functional Disability
It will be measured by Oswestry Disability Index. It is a 10 items questionnaire used to assess the degree of disability in individuals with low back pain.
Measured: 2 weeks
Lumbar Proprioception
it is measured by Joint position sense/ error test . it is Measured by placing the inclinometers at T12 and S1.
Measured: 2 weeks
