Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Tools to be used in this study will be :
Inclinometer: An inclinometer is a sensor used to measure the magnitude of the inclination angle or deformation of any structure
. Back Pain Functional Scale: a subjective scale used to measure the patient's physical function after low back pain.
FMS: The Functional Mobility Scale (FMS) has been constructed to classify functional mobility.
Numeric PAIN Ratig Scale: The numeric rating scale (NRS) is a pain the screening tool, commonly used to assess pain severity at that moment in time using a 0-10 scale, with zero meaning "no pain" and 10 meaning "the worst pain imaginable".
The study will be collected from Sports related persons at Pakistan Sports Board Lahore. First, a consent form will be filled the person and then the data will be recorded through our questionaire on day 1 and then after 6 weeks of treatment. Group A will be treated with Dynamic Cupping and Group B will be treated with Myofascial release. Group A: will be an interventional group and it will be treated by using dynamic cupping. Heating pad will be applied for 10 minutes as a base treatment then olive oil or petroleum jelly will be applied and cup will be placed,a vacuum will be created by using a vacuum pump then the cup will be moved to and fro or in figure of 8 for 5 minutes. Group B : Will be a control group and it will be treated by soft tissue myofascial release. Heating pad will be applied for 10 minutes as a base treatment, and petroleum jelly will be applied to the area followed by soft tissue myofascial release technique for 5 minutes either crisscross, along the fiber or in Figure of 8.
