ABSTRACT

Background: Low back pain is a common health problem in the developed countries and   is most commonly treated in primary healthcare settings. Improving functional performance in patients with chronic low back pain is of primary importance. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of  Muscle Energy Technique (MET) &  Muscle Energy Technique (MET) along with supervised exercises on  pain and functional performance in subjects with chronic nonspecific low back pain.

Objective : To evaluate the effect of impact of muscle energy technique along with supervised exercise program over muscle energy technique on quadrates lumborum and iliopsoas on pain and functional disability in non specific low back pain.

Methodology: 30  diagnosed low back pain patients were assigned in to 2 groups. The Group A Muscle Energy Technique while Group B received Muscle Energy Technique along with supervised exercise program. Both groups received the selected treatment over a 2 week periods. Outcome measures were evaluated at baseline and 2nd week.

Results: The study shows significant improvement in pain and functional disability in both groups those who received MET and MET along with supervised exercise program. But improvement was more marked in group who received MET along with supervised exercise program.

Conclusion: The research hypothesis which states that there was more improvement in pain and functional disability who trained with Muscle Energy Technique along with supervised exercise program than only muscle energy technique in chronic non specific low back pain .

Key words: Muscle energy technique, non specific low back pain ,Oswestry disability index and Numerical pain rating scale.
