Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Supine Participants
Participants will lie in supine position with legs supported on a stool adjusted for hip and knee flexion to be at 90°
mechanical traction
Participants will receive traction therapy as follows: force will start at 25% of Body weight, gradually increasing until the tolerance for pulling is reached with maximum of 50% of body weight. The session will be 15 minutes long (1min for acceleration, 13 min application, 1min deceleration); it will be intermittent with ratio of 30 s on and 10s off
Prone Participants
will lie in prone position with a pillow underneath their abdomen and a harness attached to the chest, and pelvis
mechanical traction
Participants will receive traction therapy as follows: force will start at 25% of Body weight, gradually increasing until the tolerance for pulling is reached with maximum of 50% of body weight. The session will be 15 minutes long (1min for acceleration, 13 min application, 1min deceleration); it will be intermittent with ratio of 30 s on and 10s off
Side-lying Participants
will lie on the contralateral side of pain, with his hip flexed at 80°, and a pillow between their knees
mechanical traction
Participants will receive traction therapy as follows: force will start at 25% of Body weight, gradually increasing until the tolerance for pulling is reached with maximum of 50% of body weight. The session will be 15 minutes long (1min for acceleration, 13 min application, 1min deceleration); it will be intermittent with ratio of 30 s on and 10s off
