Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

  • Pain intensity

    It will be measured using Numeric Pain Rating Scale.It has a scale of 0-10 or 0-100 points and can be given verbally or in writing.

    4 weeks

  • Level of disability

    It will be measured using Oswestry disability Index Questionairre

    4 weeks

  • Lumbar Range of motion

    Lumbar ROM will be measured using Inclinometer

    4 weeks

  • Hip Range of motion

    Hip ROM will be measured using Goniometer

    4 Weeks

Study Arms (2)

Static Stretching Group

EXPERIMENTAL

Core stabilization exercises along with Static Stretching of Iliopsoas (Hold for 7-8s x 10 reps) Week 1 Lifting the leg while lying in a prone position with the knee bent Week 2 Lifting the leg in a prone position with a straight knee Week 3 Stretch in the modified Thomas test position Week 4 Modified launch stretch

Procedure: Core stability exercisesProcedure: Static Stretching of Iliopsoas

PFS Group

EXPERIMENTAL

Core stabilization exercises along with Post Facilitation Stretch of Iliopsoas (5-10s x 10 reps) Patient's position supine at the edge of the table, non-effected hip and knee in flexion, experimental thigh and leg hang on the edge of table. Extend the hip of the opposite thigh up to the barrier. After that, the patient flexes the hip against maximal resistance (isometric) and breathes in for 5-10 seconds. Tell the patient "Relax", whereas the therapist applies a rapid stretch to a new barrier and is held for 10 seconds.

Procedure: Core stability exercisesProcedure: Post Facilitation Stretch of Iliopsoas

Interventions
