Clinical Trial Summary

Condition in which lumbar region experiences stress or extra weight and is arched to point of muscle pain or spasms is called Lumbar hyperlordosis.The study findings compared the effectiveness of frog leg technique and standard exercise therapy in management of low back pain due to lumbar lordosis.


Description:

In adult population, a major health problem is Low back pain. Postural change is one of the risk factor. Abnormal posture causes strain on ligaments and muscles, as a result indirectly affects the curvature of the lumbar spine.Condition in which lumbar region experiences stress or extra weight and is arched to point of muscle pain or spasms is called Lumbar hyperlordosis.The study findings compared the effectiveness of frog leg technique and standard exercise therapy in management of low back pain due to lumbar lordosis.

Intervention

Other:
Frog Leg Exercise
The patient lies supine with legs flexed, knees apart and the soles of the feet put together on couch. The physiotherapist stands at the side of the table, moves one arm between the legs to place the hand under the sacrum and cup it. The fingers spread to accommodate the spinous process of the fifth lumbar vertebra. The tips of the fingers contact and grasp the junction of the fifth lumbar vertebra and the base of the sacrum. This hand will give traction in a caudal direction throughout the procedure to move the sacral base posteriorly and the apex interiorly. patient is asked to take a deep breath and hold it, while at the same time they steadily slide the feet downward toward the end of the table.Then patient brings their legs back to the frog leg position, but as they do so the therapist maintains traction preventing the sacrum from moving cephalad. Procedure is repeated for a total of 8 repetitions.
Electrotherapy(Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulator)
TENS or transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulator is a low voltage electric current to relieve pain. A small battery-operated TENS device which has leads connected to sticky pads called electrodes was used in treatment. Patient in lying position gets pads directly attached to skin of lumbar region. Small electrical impulses delivered to the affected area of the patient's body when the machine is switched on, which patient feel as a tingling sensation.
Exercise Therapy
Stretching of tight muscles(hip flexors and lower back extensors) Abdominal Curl-Ups and Bridging exercises.
