Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to find out the additional effect of global re-education program with hamstring stretching in patients with low back pain.

Detailed Description

Low back pain (LBP) is a very common health problem worldwide and a major cause of disability which affecting performance at work and general well-being. LBP is a complicated condition which affects the physiological and psychosocial aspects of the patient. The muscles of the low back provide the strength and mobility for all activities of daily living. The purpose of this study is to find out the additional effect of global re-education program with hamstring stretching in patients with low back pain.

Study Groups

Global Postural Reeducation Program

Global Postural Reeducation Program with hamstring stretch

Group Type: EXPERIMENTAL

Global Postural Reeducation Program

Intervention Type: OTHER

Global Postural Reeducation Program with hamstring stretch The lying posture with flexion of the legs aimed to stretch the posterior chain (upper trapezius, levator scapulae, sub occipital, erector spinae, gluteus maximus, ischio-tibial, triceps surae, and foot intrinsic muscles). The initial position will lying with the hip flexed and progression consisted of increasing hip flexion, knee extension, and dorsiflexion of the ankle All above exercises will be given and to be held for 15 minutes each. 40 min/session, 3 times/week for 6 weeks

Hamstring Stretch Program

Hamstring Stretch Program and Knee -flexor eccentric training

Group Type: ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Hamstring Stretch Program

Intervention Type: OTHER

Hamstring Stretch Program 3 times for 30 seconds hold, subjects rested for 15 seconds between stretches. Knee -flexor eccentric training to prevent hamstring muscle strain 10-15 rep 40 min/session, 3 times/week for 6 weeks
