Summary

Low back pain is one of the most common problem affecting one's daily living activities.

McKenzie Method of Mechanical Diagnostic Therapy (MDT) is an appealing modality of treatment. McKenzie classified the lumbar back pain into three categories i.e. lumbar postural syndrome, lumbar dysfunction syndrome and lumbar derangement syndrome.

Progressive extension bias limb loading exercises at lumbar region emphasizes on lumbar extensor musculature. The purpose of the current study is to determine the effects of extension biased lumbar limb loading exercises along with McKenzie extension protocols in the management of patients with lumbar derangement syndrome, which will also be a cost effective management option. It will also add to the existing pool of knowledge in the fields of conservative low back pain treatment, physical therapy, orthopedic manual therapy and musculoskeletal medicine.

Interventions

OTHER

Extension Biased External Limb Loading Exercises

Begin in the quadruped position and progress the intensity by 1. Flexing one upper extremity 2. Extending one lower extremity with a leg slide 3. Extending one lower extremity by lifting it off the mat 4. Flexing one upper extremity while extending contralateral lower extremity and then alternate to opposite extremities. Progress to prone position: 5. Extending one lower extremity 6. Extending both lower extremity

OTHER

McKenzie Extension Exercise Protocol

Static: 1. Lying Prone 2. Lying prone in extension 3. Sustained extension 4. Posture correction Dynamic: 5. Extension in lying 6. Extension in lying with clinician overpressure 7. Extension mobilization 8. Extension in standing

OTHER

Moist Heat

Moist Heating for 10 minutes at lumbar spine in prone position using moist heat packs, heated via hydro-collator.
