Brief Summary

Chronic low back pain effects more than 50% of general population. It's prevalence is higher is young adults that are economically active adults. Its significance is often underestimated because usually young adults ignore these initial episodes of low back pain due to their busy life style or life full of commitments. Approximately 70% of adults have at least one episode of low back pain during their lifetimes.

Conditions

Segmental Stabilization; Generalized Segmental Stabilization Exercises

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• VAS

  Visual analogue scale for Pain 0= no pain, 10= unbearable pain

  4 weeks (1st reading is at the baseline, 2nd is at 3rd day, 3rd is at 5th day, 4th is at 8th day, 5th is at 10th day, 6th is at 12th day, 7th is at 19th day and 8th reading is at 26th day.

• Oswestry disability Index

  It is used to measure permanent functional disability. For each section, total possible score is 5, after completing all 10 sections. sum of all scores will be obtained in the form of percentages.

  4 weeks (1st reading is at the baseline, 2nd is at 3rd day, 3rd is at 5th day, 4th is at 8th day, 5th is at 10th day, 6th is at 12th day, 7th is at 19th day and 8th reading is at 26th day.

• International physical activity questionnaire

  It is used to measure to physical activity of a person

  Only one reading is required that is the baseline reading.

Other Outcomes (1)

• ROM

  4 weeks (1st reading is at the baseline, 2nd is at 3rd day, 3rd is at 5th day, 4th is at 8th day, 5th is at 10th day, 6th is at 12th day, 7th is at 19th day and 8th reading is at 26th day.

Study Arms (2)

Segmental Stabilization

EXPERIMENTAL

Segmental control over the primary stabilizers (TrA, deep multifidus, pelvic floor and diaphram) is maintained. Weight of body is minimized by using drawing in maneuver. Time duration will be of 30 to 40 mins, thrice a week for four weeks. Hot packs will be applied for 10 mins. In starting days, 8 to 10 reps with hold time 5 count. In later days, 12 to 15 reps with hold time increases up till 10 to 15 counts.

Other: Segmental stabilization

General lumber stabilization exercises

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

It includes exercises in closed chain with low velocity as well as low load. Time duration will be of 30 to 40 mins, thrice a week for four weeks. Hot packs will be applied for about 10 mins. In starting days, 8 to 10 reps with hold time 5 count. In later days, 12 to 15 reps with hold time increases up till 10 to 15 counts.

Other: Generalized Lumber stabilization exercsies

Interventions

Segmental stabilization OTHER

Physiotherapist will perform activation of multifidus in prone position. It also includes activation of transverse abdominas in crook lying position, in sitting as well as in point kneeling position to re-establish simultaneous contraction of deep muscles synergy.

Also known as: Experimental

Segmental Stabilization

Generalized Lumber stabilization exercsies OTHER

It can by performed by patient him or her self under physiotherapist's assistance. Lumber neutral position is maintained. Bridging in prone as well as supine position will be maintained.

Also known as: Active comparator

General lumber stabilization exercises
