Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization group
treatment group A involved 22 patients who will receive instrumental-assisted soft tissue mobilization and exercises
Instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization
The group will undergo Instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization using M2Tblade, applying it for 40-120 seconds until hyperemia occurs. After treatment, ice packs will be applied for 5 minutes to reduce hyperemia. The therapist will ensure comfort through continuous communication and reporting any discomfort.
The conventional exercise program
Patients will undergo a 12-session exercise program for 6 weeks, consisting of straight leg raising, bridging exercise, prone hip extension exercise, and abdominal curl exercise. The exercises will be done 3 sets, 10 repetitions each, with 1 minute rest between each set. The abdominal curl exercises involve supine or hook-lying positions with the lumbar spine neutral, with the patient performing a drawing in maneuver to stabilize the abdominal muscles. The progression involves lifting the shoulders, changing arm positions, and holding a weight or medicine ball. The patient's position is hook-lying, maintaining a neutral spinal position.
Myofascial Release group
treatment group B involved 22 patients who will receive myofascial release and exercises
Myofascial release
The therapist will use a cross-hand release technique to release the lumbar spine, ensuring the patient is prone and suitable. They will lean into the patient to the tissue depth barrier, wait, and follow each release, avoiding force or slipping. The technique will be applied for 5 minutes on each side.
