The effect of straight leg raise with lumbar stabilization exercises in subjects of low back pain with adverse neural tension between the age group 20–50 years

Abstract

Low back pain is a common disorder which involves muscles, nerves, and bones of the back. About 70% to 85% of population has low back pain at some point in life. Adverse neural tension is defined as physiological or mechanical response produced when structures of the nervous system exceed their normal range of movement. Mechanically or chemically sensitized nerves show abnormal mechano sensitivity. Purpose: purpose of the study was to find the effect of Straight Leg Raise With lumbar stabilization exercises in reducing pain, improving ROM and physical functions in low back pain subjects with adverse neural tension. Aim: To find the effect of Straight Leg Raise with lumbar stabilization exercises in reducing pain, improving ROM, and physical functions in low back pain subjects with adverse neural tension. Objective: To study the effect of straight leg raise with lumbar stabilization exercises in reducing pain, improving ROM, and physical functions in low back pain subjects with adverse neural tension between the age group 20-50 years. Method: This study was conducted on 30 lower back pain patients, age 20-50 years were taken from NDMVP Hospital and research centre, physiotherapy opd . Convenience sampling method was used. ROM, Numerical pain rating scale- pain and Modified oswestry disability questionnaire- disability was assessed. Results: P value is less than 0.05 for NPRS, ROM and modified ODI .The NPRS, PSLR and Modified ODI Questionnaire scores improved significantly by SLR with lumbar stabilization exercises after 3 weeks in subjects of low back pain with adverse neural tension. Conclusion: SLR with lumbar stabilization exercises is effective in reducing pain improving ROM, and physical functions in low back pain subjects with adverse neural tension.
