Comparison of Effect of McKenzie Exercises with or Without Theraband in Patient with Sub Acute Non-Specific Low Back Pain

Non-specific back pain in general refers to any type of back pain that is caused by placing abnormal stress and strain on muscles of the vertebral column. The current study was based on the evaluation of the effect of Mckenzie exercises with theraband for reducing pain, disability and improves the strength in patients with subacute non-specific low backpain. It also evaluated the effect of Mckenzie exercises alone for reducing pain, disability and improves the strength in patients with subacute non-specific low backpain and compared the pain effectiveness of McKenzie exercises with theraband versus Mckenzie exercises alone in reducing pain, disability and improves the strength in patients with subacute non- specific low backpain. he participants for the study were recruited from the population of Integral University at Physiotherapy OPD, Lucknow (UP). On the basis of dependent variables NPRS, ODI, MMT and all the measurements were checked on first day (pretreatment) and last day (post treatment) i.e., after 4 weeks. The subjects were selected according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria and were divided into 2 groups-Group A and Group B. tables showed average difference of ODI, NPRS, MMT showed at 1st to 28th respectively and showed that average difference in pre to post ODI, NPRS, MMT scores was significant in both groups but Group A showed statistically significant difference of pre to post ODI, NPRS, and MMT score in order to decrease pain, disability and in improving muscle strength. Mckenzie exercises with theraband showed statistically more significant difference in ODI, NPRS and MMT score in order to decrease pain, disability and in improving muscle strength.

Key words: Mckenzie Exercise, Theraband, low back pain, ODI, MMT .
