Brief Summary

This study will be conducted to determine the effects of slump stretching vs lumbar mobilization with exercises in relieving non-radiculating low back pain. There will be two groups; Group I will receive Slump stretching along with standardized exercises and Group II will receive Lumbar mobilizations along with standardized exercises.

Conditions

Low Back Pain

Keywords

effects; slump stretching; lumbar mobilization; non radiculating; Low back pain; exercises; quality of life; modified oswestry low back pain disability; numeric pain rating scale; fear avoidance beliefs

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Numeric pain rating scale

  On a scale of 0 to 10, with 0 being no pain at all and 10 being the worst pain imaginable.

  2 weeks

• Modified Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Questionnaire

  The questionnaire has been designed to give the therapist information as to how the back pain has affected the ability to manage in everyday life.

  2 weeks

• Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36)

  SF-36 is a set of generic, coherent, and easily administered quality-of-life measures. These measures rely upon patient self-reporting.

  2 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• Fear-Avoidance Beliefs Questionnaire

  2 weeks

• Active range of motion of lumbar spine.

  2 weeks

Study Arms (2)

Slump stretching group

EXPERIMENTAL

Slump stretching will be performed with the patient in the long sitting position. The position will be held for 30 seconds. A total of 5 repetitions will be completed. Patients will also complete a standardized exercise program consisting of pelvic tilts, bridging, wall squats, and quadruped alternate arms/legs activities as described by Cleland et al. Patients will perform 10 repetitions of each exercise.

Other: Slump stretching

Lumbar mobilization group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Maitland Grade 1 - 2 Posterior to anterior lumbar spine mobilization will be applied for 30 - 45 seconds for all segments through L1 to L5 at rate of 1 oscillation per 2 seconds. Patients will also complete a standardized exercise program consisting of pelvic tilts, bridging, wall squats, quadruped alternate arms/legs activities as described by Cleland et al. Patients will perform 10 repetitions of each exercise.

Other: Lumbar mobilization

Model Details: The two groups will be Slump stretching group and Lumbar mobilization group. All physical therapy techniques in both groups will be applied 3 times in a week up to 2 weeks with each session consisting of 25-40 minutes. Group 1 will receive slump stretching along with standardized exercises while group 2 will recieve lumbar mobilization along with standardized exercises. Demographic details of the patients will be collected at baseline (1st Visit) while Modified Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Questionnaire,Numeric pain rating scale,Fear-Avoidance Beliefs Questionnaire,Active range of motion (AROM) of lumbar spine and Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36) will be measured at baseline, 1st week, and final week.
