简要总结
Lumbar degenerative disc disease and discogenic low back pain is comparatively common and disabling musculoskeletal condition, however there is no conclusive evidence regarding the positive effects of conservative physical therapy management in terms of radiological changes and improvement in disc height. For this reason, the current study will not only look into the positive effects of conservative physical therapy on postural stability, pain and function, but also in terms of disc height in persons with discogenic low back pain.

结局指标
主要结局
Gait velocity
时间窗: 2 weeks
Velocity during gait will be analyzed using observational gait analysis. A greater gait velocity signifies better outcome
Lumbar Disability
时间窗: 2 weeks
Disability will be measured via Oswestry Disability Index.
Back Pain
时间窗: 2 weeks
Pain will be measured via Visual Analogue Scale. A higher score signifies poor outcome.
Lumbar Range of Motion
时间窗: 2 weeks
Lumbar Range of Motion will be measured via inclinometer. A higher score signifies good outcome.
Postural Stability
时间窗: 2 weeks
Postural Stability will be measured via Biodex Balance System. A higher score signifies poor outcome.
Disc Height
时间窗: 2 weeks
Disc will be analyzed using Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Step length
时间窗: 2 weeks
Step length during gait will be analyzed using observational gait analysis. A greater step length signifies better outcome
Stride length
时间窗: 2 weeks
Stride length during gait will be analyzed using observational gait analysis. A greater stride length signifies better outcome
