PNF Technique on Iliopsoas and Hamstring Muscle on Chronic Low Back Pain

Effects of Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation of Iliopsoas and Hamstring on Patients With Chronic Low Back Pain

Sponsor

Riphah International University

Enrollment

44 participants

Start Date

Aug 2, 2024

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Low Back Pain

Summary

The aim of the study to evaluate the effects of PNF in terms of decreasing low back pain, increasing range of motion and improving flexibility of the hamstrings and iliopsoas. Their association in LBP can be found through studies and my study based on this point will show whether targeting these two muscles would have any effect on lumbar back pain.

Interventions

OTHERProprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation technique

Experimental group was given proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation technique (PNF) along with conventional treatment. PNF will be applied on iliopsoas and hamstring muscles, 3 repetitions/session with a break of 2 minutes/repetition (10 second isometric Contraction then 10 second stretch) Treatment contains total 12 sessions (3 times/week for 4 consecutive weeks)

OTHERConventional treatment

Conventional treatment contains tens and hotpack. Tens Will be applied for 20 minutes and hotpack for 10 minutes Total 12 sessions (3 times/week for 4 consecutive weeks)
