Clinical Trial Summary

This study will investigate the effectiveness of Mulligan mobilisation techniques Sustained Natural Apophyseal Glides (SNAGS) and Natural Apophyseal Glides (NAGs) on pain, disability, and range of motion (ROM) in obese individuals with mechanical low back pain (LBP).


Description:

One of the most important methods in the treatment of LBP in recent years is manual therapy; manipulation, mobilisation and soft tissue techniques. With the manual techniques applied to the spine, the position and placement of the anatomical structures are changed and the tight and tense tissues are loosened. It has been observed that Mulligan techniques can correct the faults that cause pain in the spine and that the structures that cause pain return to their normal functions when released. In the literature, it has recently been observed that the number of studies examining manual therapy and Mulligan Concept methods has increased. Studies examining the effect of SNAG method on the lumbar region (12) and the effect of mobilisation and taping on chronic low back pain were found. However, no study was found in which SNAG and NAGS applications were applied on obese patients diagnosed with mechanical low back pain. Therefore, in this study, SNAG and NAGS in obese patients with LBP to investigate the effectiveness of the practices

Intervention

Other:
Mulligan Concept
Mulligan Concept was applied by the physiotherapist who received A-B module trainings. Mulligan techniques were performed with 3 sets of 10 repetitions and 15-20 seconds rest between sets. Mobilisations were applied to the spinous process of each vertebra of the lumbar region with 3 sets of 10 repetitions of SNAG and 3 sets of 10 repetitions of NAGS techniques. In the standing position, the physiotherapist took a position next to the patient and stabilised the patient by grasping the abdomen with one arm. Strengthening exercises were applied to the rectus abdominis, internal and external obliquus, transversus abdominis muscles from flexor muscle groups in 3 sets of 10 repetitions. Stretching exercises were applied to the erector spinae and intertransversarii lumborum muscles from extensor muscle groups as 3 sets of 10 repetitions for 15-30 seconds.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Pain Assessment Visual analogue scale (VAS) was used to assess the severity of mechanical neck pain. Individuals were asked to mark the pain they felt on a 10 cm long VAS scale ("0" indicates no pain and "10" indicates unbearable pain). Two times in 11 day (before intervention, immediately after last intervention)
Primary The Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Questionnaire Evaluate back disability status a questionnaire consisting of 10 items. The items measure the severity of pain, self-care, lifting and carrying, walking, sitting, standing, sleeping, social life, travelling and the degree of change in pain, respectively. Under each item, the patient was asked six statements to be marked. The first statement is scored as "0" and the sixth statement is scored as "5". The higher the score, the higher the level of disability. Two times in 11 day (before intervention, immediately after last intervention)
Primary Joint Range of Motion Assessment (ROM) Active flexion, extension, right/left lateral flexion and rotation of the cervical region were measured in the sitting position with a phone goniometer application. Two times in 11 day (before intervention, immediately after last intervention)
