| Abstract: | BACKGROUND: Low back pain is defined as the pain which is localized between 12th rib and inferior gluteal folds with or without leg pain.Despite the large number of pathologic conditions that can give rise to LBP, 85% of cases are without a detected pathoanatomic / radiological abnormality. This population is classified as having “nonspecific” LBP, which often develops into a chronic fluctuating problem with intermittent flares. Several therapeutic interventions are available for its treatment. From among all the interventions, many evidences are available to support Classic trunk exercises and PNF, but the short term treatment effects were not well known. So this study aims to find out a better treatment by comparing effectiveness of these two interventions in reducing pain and disability in CNSLBP patients. OBJECTIVES: To investigate and compare the effectiveness of Core strenthening exercises and PNF in reducing pain and disability in chronic nonspecific low back pain patients. METHOD: This was a comparative study, 30 subjects (15 in control group, 15 in experimental group) within the age group of 30 - 50 years were considered for this study by using randomised sampling procedure. Control group underwent Classic Trunk Exercises and Experimental group underwent PNF techniques for a period of 4 weeks. Both the groups were assessed before and after the intervention to determine the extent of reduction in the level of pain and disability using VAS Scale and MODQ for low back respectively. RESULTS: The data were analyzed by the Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test and Mann Whitney U Test. The difference between the two groups were tested using Mann Whitney U Test. Comparison of VAS score for both experimental and control group showed Z = 2.296 (p = 0.022) and of MODQ score for both the groups showed Z = 2.092 (p = 0.031) which was significant statistically. These test result showed significant decrease in pain and disability in experimental group than the control group. CONCLUSION: This study indicates that PNF techniques were effective in the reduction of pain and disability than the Core strenthening exercises in Chronic Low Back Pain patients. |
