ABSTRACT

Background: Non-specifically pain in the low back occurs in 85% percent of population. Examples like Posterior

to anterior mobilization and press up exercises are rapidly used as most common physical therapy intervention for

the reduction of pain in low back.

Aim: Major purpose of this study is to find out the influence of posterior to anterior mobilization of spine and prone

press-ups exercises in reduction of pain due to nonspecific reasons in low back.

Materials and Methods: The design of this study conducted was randomized clinical trial.

Thirty subjects who fulfill the inclusion criteria were chosen subjectively from the department of physical therapy of

Ayesha Hospital Lahore. Duration of study was six months, from November 2020 to April 2021. Two groups were

made with selection of fifteen participants in each group. Posterior to anterior glides to lumber spine combined

with the inclined press up's exercises of lumber was given to group II. Subjects chosen in group II were observed

before the treatment started and after the completion of the treatment for NPRS and utilitarian incapacity. The

posterior to anterior glide to lumber spine was given to the participants of group I. participants of group I were also

examined before the start of the treatment and after the completion of entire treatment and NPRS along with

functional incapacity were also observed at the end of the treatment.

Results: Pain in low back spine is decreased in both of the selected groups I and II.

Statistical importance occurs in results of both the groups in all its limitations.

Both groups were similar in normality measurement values with p-value>0.05.

Conclusion: Posterior to anterior mobilization and press-up exercises can be used as effective

Keywords: Nonspecific pain in low back, prone press up exercises, posterior to anterior mobilization of spine.
