Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 8
Abstract
Abstract: Low back pain (LBP) is most commonly affects the individuals with a lifetime prevalence of 60–70%. There are various treatment approaches available to chronic LBP. Recently, lumbar Mulligan mobilization with movement and kinesio taping has the more significant emphasis even though other various treatments are available. The objectives are to compare the effectiveness of Mulligan mobilization with movement (MWM) and kinesio taping (KT) on pain, lumbar ROM and functional disability in chronic low back pain participants.A randomized controlled design (single blinded). This study was conducted at musculoskeletal physiotherapy outpatient department. Total 30 low back pain individuals were randomly assigned into three groups (segmental stabilization exs (SSE) (control group); Mulligan movement with mobilization (experimental group-1) and kinesio taping (experimental group-2); n=10 in each group. Group A&B underwent 5 treatment session per week and total 2weeks and group C was received thrice per week for total 2 weeks of KT application and all interventions was supervised programs. Visual analog scale (VAS), Lumbar ROM and functional disability outcome measures were recorded at baseline (pre) and after two weeks of the interventions (post).The 2 weeks intervention of MWM &KT program resulted in significant improvement (P < 0.05) but mulligan MWM was more significant than KT in improving functional, lumbar ROM and reduction of pain in chronic low back pain individuals which was not evident in control.The result of the study indicates that MWM was found to be superior to KT in improving lumbar ROM and functional and reduction of pain among chronic LBP individuals. Keywords:chronic LBP, SSE, Mulligan MWM & KT.
