Brief Summary

To compare the effect of ELDOA and Mechanical traction technique on pain in patients with lumbar disc herniation. To compare the effect of ELDOA and Mechanical traction technique on disability in patients with lumbar disc herniation.

Conditions

Lumbar Disc Herniation

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• lumbar ROM by inclinometer.

  Flexion 60 Extension 25 Left Lat Flex 25 Right Lat Flex 25

  4 weeks

• 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

  4 Weeks

• Modified 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

  4th Week

Study Arms (2)

ELDOA Technique

EXPERIMENTAL

ELDOA positions (hold for 1 minute, 3 alternative days for 4 weeks). Hot pack (10-15 minutes) McKenzie extension Exercises

Other: ELDOA Technique

Mechanical Lumbar Traction

EXPERIMENTAL

Mechanical Lumbar Traction (50% of body weight was applied, in supine position, the hip and knee at 90- degree flexion, and the legs were supported. Hot pack (10-15 minutes) McKenzie extension Exercises

Other: Mechanical Lumbar Traction

Interventions

ELDOA Technique OTHER

the patients treated with ELDOA technique, followed for 3 alternative days for 4 weeks. the ELDOA techniques for level L4/L5 and L5/S1 were applied. the ELDOA positions hold for one minute, 3 alternative days for 4 weeks under supervision. Hot pack (10-15 minutes) McKenzie Extension Exercises

ELDOA Technique

Mechanical Lumbar Traction OTHER

Mechanical Traction Technique: traction unit, 50% of body weight was applied with the patients lying in supine position, with the hip and knee at 90 degree flexion, and legs were supported. Traction were applied for 3 alternative days for 4 weeks. Hot pack (10-15 minutes) McKenzie Extension Exercises
