Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The study was conducted to the following purposes

1. To investigate the effect of lumbar mobilization on muscle activity in postpartum mechanical low back pain.
2. To investigate the effect of lumbar mobilization on pain intensity in postpartum mechanical low back pain patients.
3. To investigate the effect lumbar mobilization on functional disability in postpartum mechanical low back pain patients.
4. To compare between the effects of lumbar mobilization, tactile stimulation (placebo treatment) and traditional treatment in postpartum mechanical low back pain patients.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

all participants divided randomly into three groups, Group A (Study group) received PA lumbar mobilization plus traditional treatment which consisted of Ultrasonic and Infra-red. Group B (Placebo group) received placebo mobilization plus traditional treatment. Group C (Control group) received traditional treatment only

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Mobilization (manual therapy)

Mobilization (manual therapy) posterior- anterior at the L3 for 2 minutes in addition to the traditional treatment in the form of infra-red and ultrasound. The treatment duration for the three groups was 3 times/week for 4 weeks.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

mobilization (manual therapy)

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

mobilization is one of the manual therapy or treatments with the application of a gentle oscillatory passive movement to the spinal region specifically at the level of L3 in this study at the posterio-anterior direction.

Ultrasound and infrared devices

Intervention Type DEVICE

ultrasound and infrared are the traditional treatment for low back pain , they are electrical modalities used in the field of physiotherapy to decrease the inflammation and the pain in musculoskeletal systems

placebo mobilization

placebo mobilization applied without force application. The treatment duration for the three groups was 3 times/week for 4 weeks

Group Type PLACEBO_COMPARATOR

Placebo mobilization

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

placebo mobilization is a tactile stimulation at the same level L3 without application of any force.

Ultrasound and infrared devices

Intervention Type DEVICE

ultrasound and infrared are the traditional treatment for low back pain , they are electrical modalities used in the field of physiotherapy to decrease the inflammation and the pain in musculoskeletal systems
