Clinical Trial Summary

to investigate the effect of pilat mat exercise versus MET on chronic non specific LBP:Randomized controlled trial

Description:

Low back pain (LBP) affects almost everyone at least once per life. Hence,it has been considered one of the most common musculoskeletal problems.The Pilates Method starts by strengthening the core, which is achieved by coordinating breathing with movement. Muscle energy technique is an associate degree of osteopathic manipulation methodology. The muscles of patients were used, on request, to type a singular controlled position, in a very specific direction, and against a distinctly executed therapist-applied counterforce.pilate mat exercise and muscle energy technique play a major role in treatment of patients with chronic non specific LBP so this trial will be conducted to investigate the effect of pilat mat exercise versus MET on chronic non specific LBP:

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	pain intensity	using visual analogue scale.each patient willbe instructed to rate the current level of pain by placing (X) sign across the horizontal VAS line. The distance in millimeters from the lower limit was measured using a ruler. VAS will be assessed before and after the treatment program.as 1:2 mild , 3:6moderate and 7:10 sever pain.	up to 4 weeks for each group
Primary	functional disability	using ronald morris questioneer.The RMDQ is scored by adding up the number of items the patient has ticked. Scores can vary between 0-24. Greater levels of disability are reflected by higher scores	up to 4 weeks for each group
Primary	ROM	using BROMII.Use the two universal inclinometers to make flexion/extension measurements. Measurements with the universal inclinometer need to be with the patient in an upright position.; Palpate and mark S1 and T12. Mark on bare skin when possible. This avoids the marks moving with the patient's clothing (Fig.2); Center the two inclinometers over the palpation marks and zero with your finger by spinning the dial (zero would then be at the bottom of the inclinometer).; Have the patient flex forward as far as possible (Fig. 3). Note the reading on each inclinometer.; The reading on the upper inclinometer is total lumbar flexion. The reading on the lower inclinometer is sacral flexion. The difference between the reading at S1 and T12 is true lumbar flexion.; Repeat flexion protocol for extension having the patient extend back for full extension instead of flexing forward	up to 4 weeks for each group
Primary	flexibility	using V sit and reach test.The test is done twice with a short break in between . Scoring: Zero point is at the level of feet. (We note negative values towards our body and positive values outward from our body.) The best trial is recorded in centimeters by best score	upto 4 weeks for each group
