简要总结
A minimum of 45 subjects will be selected for the study as per inclusion and exclusion criteria between age group of 18-45 years. Participants will be randomly divided into 3 groups of 15 subjects each: Group A (Control group), Group B (Experimental group-1) and Group C (Experimental group-2). Group A will receive Hydrocollator Pack (20 mins) + Interferential Therapy (4kHz carrier, 80Hz AMF ,20 mins) + Lumbar Stabilization Exercises (12 reps, 5 sets) + Core Stabilization Exercises (5 reps, 1 set, 20 secs hold time) for (2 sessions/week) for 4 weeks. Group B will receive Hydrocollator Pack (20 mins) +Interferential Therapy (20mins) +Lumbar Stabilization Exercises + Core Stabilization Exercises + Myofascial Release Technique (90 seconds,5 times/session) for (2 sessions/week) for 4 weeks and Group C will receive Hydrocollator Pack (20 mins) +Interferential Therapy (20 mins) +Lumbar Stabilization Exercises + Core Stabilization Exercises + Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (2 times/week) for 2 weeks. The baseline data will be recorded on 1st day (pre-intervention) and on 8th day (post-intervention). Total 8 sessions per subject will be given over 2 weeks i.e.,4 sessions per week. Outcome measures included in the study will be Numerical Pain Rating Scale for pain, Oswestry disability index (ODI) scale for functional disability, modified Schober’s test for lumbar range of motion.
