About

to investigate the effect of pilat mat exercise versus MET on chronic non specific LBP:Randomized controlled trial

Full description

Low back pain (LBP) affects almost everyone at least once per life. Hence,it has been considered one of the most common musculoskeletal problems.The Pilates Method starts by strengthening the core, which is achieved by coordinating breathing with movement. Muscle energy technique is an associate degree of osteopathic manipulation methodology. The muscles of patients were used, on request, to type a singular controlled position, in a very specific direction, and against a distinctly executed therapist-applied counterforce.pilate mat exercise and muscle energy technique play a major role in treatment of patients with chronic non specific LBP so this trial will be conducted to investigate the effect of pilat mat exercise versus MET on chronic non specific LBP:

Enrollment: 87 estimated patients

87 participants in 3 patient groups

pilate group

Experimental group

Description:

will receive pilate exercise(1- bridging 2- shoulder bridge 3- front support 4- spine stretch forward 5- spine twist) and standard treatment (stretch hamstring , stretch lower back , strength abdominal muscles and electrical heat pad) for 12 sessions(3 sessions/week) over a period of four weeks.

Treatment:

Other: pilate mat exercise will be performed

MET

Experimental group

Description:

will receiveMET treatment for hamstring and erector spinae and standard treatment(stretch hamstring , stretch lower back , strength abdominal muscles and electrical heat pad) for 12 sessions (3 sessions/week)over a period of four weeks.

Treatment:

Other: MET

control group

Active Comparator group

Description:

will receive standard treatment(stretch hamstring , stretch lower back , strength abdominal muscles and electrical heat pad) only for 12 sessions (3 sessions/week) over a period of four weeks.
