| Abstract | Article History Published Online: 15 July 2019 Back ground: Low back pain is leading cause of activity limitation and work absence throughout much of the world, and it causes an enormous economic burden on individuals, families, communities, industry and governments. At present, there is high prevalence of low back pain (40.7%) in subjects aged 20 years and above. Most cases (90%) are nonspecific and occur in all age groups. Aim: The Aim of this study is to Study the Effect of Muscle Energy Technique on Erector Spinae muscle on Pain, Functional disability and Lumbar Range of motion in person’s with Mechanical back pain. Materials and method: 46 patients were taken for the study that fulfills the inclusion criteria. Assessments and outcome measures were taken for those patients. They were randomly divided into two groups for the study. Group A received muscle energy technique and conservative exercises for back while other group recieved only conservative exercises for back 4 days per week till 2 weeks. Total 8 treatment sessions given to both the groups. A post assessment and measurement of outcome measures like VAS, modified oswestry disability questionnaire and lumbar range of motion were taken on 1st day and after 8th day of study duration. Results: The results were analyzed by Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test for intra-group analysis to check effect in pre and post intervention. Mann – Whitney U Test was used for intergroup analysis to check effectiveness between the group A (31±5.59) and group B(30.47±5.96).in inter group analysis between both the groups shows p value less than 0.05 that is significant improvement on pain, functional disability and lumbar rom. In Intragroup analysis,lysis Muscle Energy Technique and conservative therapy showed more effectiveness in reducing Pain, and Functional Disabilities(p<0.05) but no effect on Lumbar Range of motion. Conclusion: In Mechanical back pain, common Conservative therapy given along with Muscle Energy Technique to Erector Spinae muscle give Positive effect in reducing Pain and Functional Disability while No significant improvement in Lumbar Range Of Motion. Muscle energy techniques can be used as a new adjunct to Mechanical back pain. |
