Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
A total of 48 consecutive female patients diagnosed with LDH at L4-S1 were randomly separated into 2 groups of 24 as the study group and control group. The control group subjects were applied with 15 sessions of conventional physiotherapy consisting of hotpack, ultrasound, and TENS. The study group subjects received 15 sessions of McKenzie hyperextension exercises in addition to the conventional physiotherapy program.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Method: A total of 48 consecutive female patients diagnosed with LDH at L4-S1 were randomly separated into 2 groups of 24 as the study group and control group. The control group subjects were applied with 15 sessions of conventional physiotherapy consisting of hotpack, ultrasound, and TENS. The study group subjects received 15 sessions of McKenzie hyperextension exercises in addition to the conventional physiotherapy program. Before treatment, immediately after treatment, and at 3 months after the end of treatment, the two groups were compared in respect of pain severity (Visual Analog Scale- VAS), performance level (Half-Squat Test and The 5 Times Sit-Stand Test), flexibility level (Modified Sit And Reach Test), and disability level (Oswestry Disability Index - ODI).

control group
The control group subjects were applied with 15 sessions of conventional physiotherapy consisting of hotpack, ultrasound, and TENS.
Control Group
Treatment: Conventional physiotherapy program
* Components:
* Hot pack was applied to the lumbar region for 20 minutes
* Ultrasound (ITO device) at 1 MHz and 1.5 W/cm2 for 5 minutes
* Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) at 50-100 Hz for 20 minutes
* Researcher Consistency: All treatments and evaluations for both groups were performed by the same researcher.
* Session Duration: An average of 45 minutes per session
* Frequency: 5 days a week
* Duration: 3 consecutive weeks
* Total Sessions: 15
study group
The study group subjects received 15 sessions of McKenzie hyperextension exercises in addition to the conventional physiotherapy program.
Study Group
Treatment: Hyperextension exercises as described by McKenzie (in addition to the conventional physiotherapy program)
McKenzie Hyperextension Exercises:
* Exercises:
1. Prone position, arms by the side, deep breath, relax back muscles, holding for 2-3 minutes.
2. Prone position, raise trunk by raising head above forearms, elbows at shoulder level, maintaining for 2-3 minutes (10 repetitions).
3. Prone position, hands at elbow level, straighten elbows, raise the upper body from the floor and backwards as far as pain permits, holding for 2-3 seconds (10 repetitions).
4. Standing with feet shoulder-width apart, hands on waist, leaning backwards as far as possible from the lumbar region without bending knees, holding for 2-3 seconds (10 repetitions).
Additional Information:
* Researcher Consistency: All treatments and evaluations were performed by the same researcher.
Frequency: 5 days a week Duration: 3 consecutive weeks
