Abstract
The purpose of this study was to compare the effect of lumbar stabilization exercise and thoracic mobilization with strengthening exercise on pain level, thoracic kyphosis, and functional disability in patients with Chronic Low Back Pain (CLBP). Thirty patients with CLBP were recruited based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. They were randomly allocated into two groups i.e., Group A (n=15) and B (n=15). Group A has received lumbar stabilization exercise and thoracic mobilization with strengthening exercises and Group B received only lumbar stabilization exercises, three sessions per week for 4weeks both the groups. The conventional moist hot pack and interferential therapy was given to both the groups before the administration of exercise. Pre- and post-treatment pain level, Thoracic kyphosis, and functional disability were taken and statistical analysis was done. The result of this study showed significant improvement from pre-intervention to post-intervention on pain level, thoracic kyphosis, and functional disability for both the groups i.e., Group A and group B but Group A showed greater changes in Numerical pain rating scale (NPRS), Kyphotic index, and Oswestry disability index (ODI), than Group B. The 4week of therapeutic intervention including lumbar stabilization exercise with thoracic mobilization and strengthening exercise showed significantly reduction of the thoracic kyphosis, pain level and functional disability in patients with Chronic Low Back Pain.
