Summary

The aim of this study is to compare the effectiveness of four physical therapy treatment approaches for lumbar region pathologies. Eighty volunteers who have back pain will be included in the study. Subjects will be randomly divided into four groups; Group 1: Soft tissue mobilisation techniques and stabilization exercises (n=20), Group 2: Kinesiotape and stabilization exercise (n=20), Group 3: Stabilization exercises (n=20), Group 4: Reflexology and stabilization exercises (n=20).

Conditions

  • Lumbar Disc Disease
  • Lumbar Disc Herniation
  • Low Back Pain, Mechanical
  • Low Back Strain

Interventions

OTHER

Effectiveness of four physical therapy approaches (soft tissue manual therapy, Kinesio® Taping techniques, stabilization exercises and reflex therapy) for treating lumbar disc pathologies.

Visual analog scale (VAS) scores for pain intensity, goniometric measurements for the range of motion and hamstring flexibility, the sit and reach test for flexibility, an isokinetic evaluation for strength at 60°/sec, and a side-plank position test for trunk stabilization were measured. The functional status was evaluated with the Oswestry Disability Index. All groups were assessed at the beginning, after a four-week treatment and four weeks of follow-up.
