Low Back Pain | Other: Mulligan techniques with manual traction Other: McKenzie extension exercises with manual traction | Not Applicable |
Chronic mechanical low back pain is common among different age groups and genders. Different manual therapy techniques combined with exercise therapy and electrotherapy modalities play an important role in its management. Our objective was to compare the effects of McKenzie extension exercises program versus Mulligan Techniques for chronic unilateral radicular low back pain. The primary objective of my study is to evaluate the outcome of Mulligan technique versus McKenzie extension exercise with manual traction in patients with chronic unilateral radicular low back pain in terms of pain reduction and ROM.
A randomized control trial will be conducted at Rehab Care and Jinnah Hospital Lahore, from 1st June - 31st January 2024. Both genders and age range 28-50 years clinically diagnosed patient with Lumbar radiculopathy will be included. The patients with Fracture, Trauma, Inflammatory disorder, acute disc bulge, Lumbar instability will be excluded. Subjects will be divided into two equal groups through a computer-generated random number. Sixteen patients in group A will be treated with Mulligan techniques and Sixteen patients in group B with McKenzie for four weeks at two session per week and single session per day. Visual Analogue Scale, Oswestry Disability Scale and lumbar Range of Motion will be used as an assessment tool and were measured at baseline and at the completion 4 weeks intervention. The data will be entered and analyzed with SPSS to draw the statistical and clinical significance of both interventions. Results will be presented as mean and standard deviation for numerical variables like Visual Analogue Scale, Oswestry Disability Scale and lumber Range of Motion. Analysis will be done by statistical package for social sciences SPSS 29

group A will be treated with Mulligan techniques with manual traction.16 patients in group A will be treated with Mulligan Techniques SNAGS in sitting, standing and prone position by applying Antero cranial glide in the direction of treatment plane over the spinous or transverse process and Spinal mobilization with leg movement at 6 to 8 repetitions per sessions and spinal mobilization with leg movement will be performed in side lying, patient facing the physiotherapist while the leg movement may assisted by another person (Physiotherapist/assistant). Sustained transverse glide is given on the desired spinous process with 10 repetitions of offending movement in first session while 10 reps in each of 3 sets in further sessions. |

group B will be treated McKenzie extension exercises with manual traction.16 patients in group B will be treated with McKenzie active EEP in prone position with repeated movements along with standard protocols. McKenzie Extension Exercises performed actively in prone position. Extension exercises performed in three stages, initially patient instructed to be just lift the neck and look on front at the eye level, then progressed next and weight bearing on the elbow by lifting up the shoulder and then moved on third and final steps in which complete trunk extension is performed and weight bearing is on the hands. |
- NPRS [ Time Frame: 4th Week ]Changes from base Line Numeric Pain rating scale is a scale for pain starting from 0-10. where 0 indicate no pain and 10 indicate severe pain.
- Oswestry Disability Scale (ODI) [ Time Frame: 4th Week ]The Oswestry Disability Index (also known as the Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Questionnaire) is an extremely important tool that researchers and disability evaluators use to measure a patient's permanent functional disability. The test is considered the 'gold standard' of low back functional outcome tools.
- Range of Motion [ Time Frame: 4th Week ]Assessment of range of motion (ROM) of the lumbar spine is an important part lumbar spine examination. Range of motion will be measured with inclinometer. Aberrant spinal motion is associated with faulty spinal mechanics. Motion of the lumbar spine will be assessed in all planes including flexion, extension, side bending, and rotation. Variables affect lumbar range of motion
