Overview
Brief Summary
The main objective of the study is to determine effects of latissimus dorsi stretching on functional disability related to chronic low back pain
Detailed Description
A single-blinded,randomized clinical trial will be conducted in /multiple rehabilitation centers of Rawalpindi and Islamabad, after taking approval from ERB/IRB respective centers. The study duration will be 3 months. the study participants will be having mechanical low back pain.
The intervention will be included latissmus dorsi stretching along with spinal stabilization exercises in one group and in comparative group spinal stabilization exercises alone. Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) will be used to measure the disability related to the chronic low back pain.

Oswestry disability index
Time Frame: 2 weeks
The Oswestry Disability Index (aka the Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Questionnaire) is an extremely important tool that researchers and disability evaluators use to measure a patient's permanent functional disability. The test has been around since 1980 and is considered the 'gold standard' of low back pain functional outcome tools. SCORE DISABILITY LEVEL 0 - 4 No disability 5 - 14 Mild disability 15 - 24 Moderate disability 25 - 34 Severe disability 35 - 50 Completely disabled The Oswestry Disability Index (aka the Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Questionnaire) is an ex- tremely important tool that researchers and disability evaluators use
