Treatments tested in this trial
mechanical traction
DeviceParticipants will receive traction therapy as follows: force will start at 25% of Body weight, gradually increasing until the tolerance for pulling is reached with maximum of 50% of body weight. The session will be 15 minutes long (1min for acceleration, 13 min application, 1min deceleration); it will be intermittent with ratio of 30 s on and 10s off
Treatment groups
30 Participants
are divided into 3 treatment groupsGroup A: Supine ParticipantsActive comparator 1 intervention
Group B: Prone ParticipantsActive comparator 1 intervention
Group C: Side-lying ParticipantsActive comparator 1 intervention
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
1
Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) Arabic version
assesses the impact of back pain on daily life across 10 sections. Each section covers different activities and aspects of daily living. The responses are scored from 0 (no impact) to 5 (maximum impact), with higher scores indicating greater disability
Time frame
from baseline to the end of the 6th weekSecondary outcomes
1
International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) arabic version
the questionnaire includes questions about various domains of activity, such as job-related activity, transportation, housework, and leisure-time physical activity
Time frame
from baseline to the end of the 6th week2
Numerical pain rating scale (NPRS)
An 11-point scale that start at 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst imaginable pain)
Time frame
from baseline to the end of the 6th week3
Finger-to-floor test (FFT)
Participants will be asked to bend forward as much as possible, the distance between the tip of the middle finger and the platform is measured in Cm using a measurement tape.
