Summary

Low back pain is a very common problem that causes pain, disability, gait and balance problems. Neurodynamic techniques is used for treatment of low back pain. The aim of the study is comparing the effects of electrotherapy and neural mobilization techniques on pain, functionality, gait and balance.

Conditions

  • Low Back Pain

Interventions

Neural gliding exercises

Neural gliding exercises: In addition to the Electrotherapy procedure, patients were asked to actively perform knee extension, ankle dorsiflexion and head extension in the slumped posture followed by simultaneous ankle plantar flexion together with knee and head flexion (10 repetitions in 1 minute). Patients performed the exercises under a home-based program for 5 days of the week during a total period of 3 weeks. Electrotherapy sessions: Local Hot Pack (30 minutes), Chattanoga™ TENS (20 minutes, 80-180 Hz frequency, 50-100 wavelength) and Chattanoga™ ultrasound (1 Mhz frequency, 3 W/cm2 3 minutes) were applied for 5 days per week during a total period of 3 weeks. Subjects in ETG did not do any other exercise approach.
