عنوان انگلیسی The Effects of Muscle Energy Technique on Pain and Range of Motion in Chronic Low Back Pain Subjects with Lateral Flexion Restriction
چکیده انگلیسی مقاله Purpose: Low back pain (LBP) is a common problem with a significant impact on individuals and society, leading to activity limitation and chronic pain. Quadratus lumborum (QL) muscle tightness can trigger symptoms of significant low back pain. Muscle Energy Technique (MET), a gentle manual therapy for restricted motion in the spine and extremities, aims to induce muscle relaxation, reduce pain, and improve range of motion. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of MET on pain reduction and range of motion improvement in Chronic LBP subjects with lateral flexion restriction. Methods: The study was randomized single-blind clinical trial. 108 participants diagnosed with CLBP and lateral flexion restriction were randomly divided into two groups (Control and Intervention). The control group received conventional physiotherapy, while the intervention group received a combination of conventional physiotherapy and MET (post isometric relaxation). Pain and range of motion (ROM) were measured using the visual analogue scale (VAS), and a goniometer, respectively. Both groups were evaluated before and immediately after the treatment. Results: The results revealed significant reduction of pain and improvement in ROM in both groups after the treatment. there was no significant difference in the mean pain scores between the two groups (P=0.77). While the mean scores of ROM in the intervention group showed a significant difference compared to the control group (P≤0.001). Conclusion: MET combination with Conventional Physiotherapy significantly improves LBP and flexibility of QL muscle in CLBP subjects with lateral flexion restriction.
