ABSTRACT

Background: Much research is done on the association between the hip internal rotation and low back pain, but there is no retrievable clinical trial done on the treatment of the hip internal rotation deficit and its effect on low back pain making it necessary to establish the hypothesis by a randomized clinical trial.

Material and Methods: 52 subjects who met the inclusion criteria were randomized into either control group or experimental group. Control group was given conventional treatment alone which included moist heat and TENS whereas Experimental group was given hip internal rotation mobilization and the same conventional treatment for six consecutive days. Outcome measures were Visual Analogue Scale, Oswestry Disability Index and Internal Rotation Range of Motion were recorded.

Results: The results showed no statistically significant change between the experimental and control group except in Internal Rotation Range which improved significantly in experimental group than control group(P < 0.001), but not in Visual Analogue Scale(P= 0.564) and  Oswestry Disability Index(P = 0.516).

Conclusion:  Experimental group and control group showed significant improvements in both pain and disability.

Key words: Low Back Pain, Hip Internal Rotation Mobilization, TENS, Visual Analogue Scale, Oswestry Disability Index, Internal Rotation Range of Motion
