Effects of Lumbar Stabilization Exercises Versus Muscular Chain Therapy in Patients With Mechanical Chronic Low Back Pain
Sponsor: Ibadat International University, Islamabad
Summary
The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to compare the effectiveness of lumbar stabilization exercises and muscular chain therapy on reducing pain intensity and functional disability in patients with mechanical CLBP. * Participants will be randomly assigned to two groups: * Group A: Lumbar stabilization exercises * Group B: Muscular chain therapy (posterior sagittal muscle chain) Outcomes will be assessed at baseline and on week 6 to evaluate which exercise program is more effective in reducing pain and improving functional outcomes.

Interventions
Lumbar Stabilization Exercises
Participants will receive lumbar stabilization exercises (Abdominal drawing-in maneuver, Pelvic tilts, Bridging exercise), Repetitions: 10-15 reps per exercise- Sets: 2-3 sets per exercise, Rest Between Sets: 30-45 seconds.
Muscular Chain Therapy
1. Straightening the lumbar spine while maintaining hip neutrality and preventing knee flexion. 2. Hip flexion while avoiding lumbar flexion. Static holds: 3-5 repetitions per posture, Hold Duration: 2-3 minutes initially, progressing to 5 minutes ,Rest Interval: 1-2 minutes between repetitions
