About this trial

This study is a randomized controlled trial and the purpose of this study is to determined the effects of sacral mobilizations along with the lumbar mobilizations in mechanical low back pain on components such as pain , lumbar range of motion, lumbar proprioception and functional disability.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Adults 18 to 45 years Both genders Low back (from T12 to buttock line) pain for more than 3 months The CMLBP is the chief complaint without leg pain.

Disqualifiers

None

  • Lumbar and sacral mobilizations

    Procedure/Surgery

    Lumbar mobilization protocol: Grade II or III lumbar stretch mobilization on lumbar hypomobile segments. Sacral Mobilization protocol: Grade II or III sacral mobilization as sacral stretch mobilizations. Therapeutic exercise protocol: Therapeutic exercise protocol include warmup, strengthening and cool down phase.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Pain intensity

Numeric pain scale rating (NPRS) w3ill be used and It ranges from 0 to 10, 0 means no pain and 10 means worst pain.

Time frame
2 weeks
2

Lumbar Range of Motion

It will be measured by Inclinometer . it is Measured by placing the inclinometers at T12 and S1.

Time frame
2 weeks
3

Functional Disability

It will be measured by Oswestry Disability Index. It is a 10 items questionnaire used to assess the degree of disability in individuals with low back pain.

Time frame
2 weeks
4

Lumbar Proprioception

it is measured by Joint position sense/ error test . it is Measured by placing the inclinometers at T12 and S1.

Time frame
2 weeks
