Brief Summary

to check the effects of Mckenzie intervention & Pilates intervention on power looms workers having nonspecific chronic low back pain

Detailed Description

The purpose of this study is to check and compare the effects of McKenzie back extension exercise and Pilates pelvic tilt exercise on power looms workers having nonspecific chronic low back pain. To check the effects of these interventions on pain, disability, and anterior pelvic tilt angle.

In this study pain intensity of the subjects will be noted via a numeric pain rating scale. Pain will be measured at baseline, after 2 weeks and 4 weeks of intervention.

In this study disability of the patients will be measured via Quebec back pain disability scale. Disability will be measured at baseline, after 2 weeks and 4 weeks of intervention.

In this study, a goniometer will be used to measure the anterior pelvic tilt angle. Anterior pelvic tilt angle will be measured at baseline, after 2 weeks and 4 weeks of intervention.

Patients will be performed these activities under the supervision of physiotherapist.

Baseline treatment

Intervention Type: OTHER

Postural guidelines + proper lifting technique + stretch break Rest
