Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	lumbar ROM by inclinometer.	Flexion 60 Extension 25 Left Lat Flex 25 Right Lat Flex 25	4 weeks
Primary	pain on Numeric pain rating scale	Changes from baseline, Pain was measured through Numeric pain rating scale.It comprises of a continuous scale of 10cm line.0 to 1 represent no pain, 1 to 3 represent mild pain ,4 to 6 represent moderate pain, 7 to 10 represent severe pain	4 Weeks
