Immediate Effect of Combined Muscle Energy Technique of Iliopsoas and Quadratus Lumborum v/s Muscle Energy Technique of Iliopsoas and Quadratus Lumborum individually on Pain and Transversus Abdominis activation in young adults with Sub-Acute Non-Specific Low Back Pain: An ExperimentalStudy

This is an experimental study that will compare the immediate effects of the combined Muscle Energy Technique of Iliopsoas and Quadratus Lumborum to the muscle energy technique of Iliopsoas and Quadratus Lumborum Individually on Subacute Nonspecific Low Back pain and Transversus Abdominis Activation. Individuals meeting the inclusion criteria will be selected and divided into three groups. Group A would receive Muscle Energy technique of Iliopsoas and Quadratus Lumborum Group B would receive Muscle Energy Technique of Iliopsoas and Group C would receive Muscle Energy Technique of Quadratus Lumborum.  Pre-assessment of pain will be done using Visual Analogue Scale and assessment of Transversus Abdominis Activation will be done using a Pressure Biofeedback unit. Assessment of muscle length of Iliopsoas and Quadratus Lumborum will also be performed. After the appropriate intervention is given to the participant depending upon which group they belong to, assessment of low back pain, Transversus abdominis activation and muscle length testing of Iliopsoas and Quadratus Lumborum muscles will be done again using the same methods. Statistical analysis will be done to compare the groups. The study aims to compare the immediate effects of Muscle Energy Technique of combined Iliopsoas and Quadratus Lumborum and Muscle Energy Technique of Iliopsoas and Quadratus Lumborum individually.
