Summary

Low back pain (LBP) is highly prevalent that causes significant pain and disability. Core muscles are important for LBP. One of them is gluteus maximus, but effect of power's program for this muscle and its role in LBP is lacking in literature, so this study aims to study the effect of power's program of gluteus maximus on LBP.

Conditions

  • Low Back Pain

Interventions

OTHER

Group A

the patient must attain the goal repetitions (and holds when required) at one level before progressing to the next level. The principal investigator will provide extensive education to the patient while progressing through the program. Three resistance bands will be used through the exercise progression; yellow band (low resistance), green band (moderate resistance) to blue band (high resistance). The patient will progress to more advanced level if he/she can sustain the position with high resistance band (blue) for one minute with three isometric holds of each exercise on each limb. three sets for 10 repetitions will be performed) Phases 1-3 of the program are focused on GMax activation. Phases 4- 5 are focused on GMax strength, and the final three phases emphasize functional applications of the GMax during ballistic tasks.

OTHER

Group B

Flexibility exercises of the back muscles: knee to chest stretch, bridging, stretching exercises for hip flexors, piriformis, adductors and hamstring will be performed, with a hold of position for 30 s and with repetitions (3-5 times). Static stretches will be held for 30 seconds to induce changes in flexibility and will be repeated for three sets. Three sessions of stretching per week will be performed b. Prone resisted hip extension 10 repetitions for two sets. c. Hot pack: for 10 minutes. d. TENS: The electrodes will be placed over the area of most severe pain for 15 minutes.
