N/ACompletedNCT02088463

Cairo University45 enrolled

Overview

The study was conducted to the following purposes 1. To investigate the effect of lumbar mobilization on muscle activity in postpartum mechanical low back pain. 2. To investigate the effect of lumbar mobilization on pain intensity in postpartum mechanical low back pain patients. 3. To investigate the effect lumbar mobilization on functional disability in postpartum mechanical low back pain patients. 4. To compare between the effects of lumbar mobilization, tactile stimulation (placebo treatment) and traditional treatment in postpartum mechanical low back pain patients.

all participants divided randomly into three groups, Group A (Study group) received PA lumbar mobilization plus traditional treatment which consisted of Ultrasonic and Infra-red. Group B (Placebo group) received placebo mobilization plus traditional treatment. Group C (Control group) received traditional treatment only

Conditions

Low Back Pain, Mechanical

Interventions

mobilization (manual therapy)PROCEDURE

mobilization is one of the manual therapy or treatments with the application of a gentle oscillatory passive movement to the spinal region specifically at the level of L3 in this study at the posterio-anterior direction.

Placebo mobilizationPROCEDURE

placebo mobilization is a tactile stimulation at the same level L3 without application of any force.

Ultrasound and infrared devicesDEVICE

ultrasound and infrared are the traditional treatment for low back pain , they are electrical modalities used in the field of physiotherapy to decrease the inflammation and the pain in musculoskeletal systems
