Description
Summary:Objective To determine and compare the effects of movement retraining (MR), lumbar stabilization exercises (LSE), and a combination of both these exercises on pain, flexibility, strength, and functional disability in chronic mechanical low back pain (CMLBP) patients. Materials and methods Fifteen CMLBP participants, aged 20-40 years, were randomly allocated into three groups. Group A (n=5) received MR, group B (n=5), LSE, and group C (n=5), a combination of MR and CSE, along with hot packs for eight weeks, thrice a week on alternate days. Outcomes used were the Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS), Modified Modified Schober's Test (MMST), Pressure Biofeedback (PBU), Roland Morris Disability Questionnaire (RMDQ), and Movement Control (MC) dissociation tests to identify MC impairments and were assessed at pre-intervention, post-four weeks, and post-eight weeks. The data were analyzed using repeated measures ANOVA. The level of significance was considered at p-value
