简要总结
This study is a randomised control trial and the purpose of this study is to determine the effects Post facilitation stretch versus reciprocal inhibition on pain, lumbar range of motion, apparent leg length discrepancy and lumbar lordotic angle in Quadratus Lumborum Syndrome.
详细描述
The purpose of this study is to determine the difference between Post facilitation, stretch versus reciprocal inhibition on pain, lumbar range of motion, apparent leg length discrepancy and lumber lordotic angle in Quadratus Lumborum Syndrome.
The individual of Age 18-35 years among both genders, who experiences pain of 3 ≤ on NPRS from at least 3 months and whose pain decreases on supine lying; along with any two of the following findings positive of quadratus lumborum on physical examination i.e., Taut bands, Local tenderness, Patient's pain recognition, Pain referral to greater trochanter, Local twitch response & Jump sign will be recruited in the study as patients of Quadratus lumborum syndrome.
Pain levels will be assessed using the Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS). Inclinometer will be used for measuring lumber ranges. To assess apparent leg length discrepancy measuring tape will be used. The lumbar lordotic angle will be measured using 60 cm flexible ruler. Participants of interest would be approached and explained about the research. Informed written consent will be taken. It is a non-blinded study and randomization will be done through sealed envelope. Both groups will receive conventional intervention. Additionally, Group A will receive quadratus lumborum post facilitation stretches while Group B will receive Reciprocal inhibition. Baseline and post intervention scores would be recorded for both groups.

结局指标
主要结局
Lumbar Range of Motion (ROM)
时间窗: 2 weeks
It will measured using inclinometer
Lumbar Lordotic Angle
时间窗: 2 weeks
It will be measured using Flexible Ruler
Pain intensity
时间窗: 2 weeks
Pain is assessed by using numeric main rating scale comparing pre and post pain intensity. This is 11- point numeric scale ranges from '0' representing one pain extreme (e.g., "no pain") to '10' representing the other pain extreme
Leg Length Discrepancy (LLD)
时间窗: 2 weeks
Measure the distance between the anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS) and the medial malleolus.This method, referred to as the "direct" clinical method for measuring LLD, provides the apparent leg length discrepancy.
