Effects of Post-Isometric Relaxation and Myofascial Release on Low Back Pain With Lower Cross Syndrome

This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the combined effects of post-isometric relaxation and myofascial release on pain, flexibility, and functional disability in individuals with low back pain associated with lower cross syndrome. Eligible participants aged 18 to 45 years will be randomly allocated into two parallel intervention groups. One group will receive post-isometric relaxation combined with myofascial release, while the comparison group will receive conventional stretching combined with Therapeutic modalities. Outcomes will be assessed at baseline and after completion of the intervention period. The results of this study are expected to contribute to evidence-based physiotherapy management of low back pain associated with postural imbalance.

Effects of Lumber Sustained Natural Apophyseal Glides on Lower Cross Syndrome

A sustained natural apophyseal glide (SNAG) is a mobilization technique commonly used in the treatment of painful movement restrictions of the spine.Studing the effect of Lumber SNAGs in lower cross syndrome hold significance due to its potential to correct pain, hypomobility and biomechanical changes i.e hyperlordotic curve and anterior pelvic tilting caused by lower cross syndrome. The specific muscle imbalance seen in PCS gives rise to specific joint dysfunction, particularly in the L4-L5 and L5-S1 segment of the vertebral column. Over time, this causes stress at the L5-S1 segment of the vertebral column leading to pain and irritation in the lower back Lumber SNAGs encourage improvement of these repositioning error, posture, alleviate discomfort and enhance overall functioning. This research aims to offer patients a noninvasive and personalized approach to managing LCS, ultimately contributing to their overall well-being and movement quality

Effects Of Jandas Approach Vs PNF Technique On Pain, ROM, Disability, Endurance And QOL In Patients With LCS

The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to learn if the given interventions that is jandas approach versus Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation technique can treat pain, disability, range of motion, endurance and quality of life in patients with Lower cross syndrome on both genders and age group of 25-40 years. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does jandas approach versus Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation technique improves pain, disability, range of motion, endurance and quality of life in patients with lower cross syndrome? There is a comparison between two groups: Researchers will compare the jandas approach and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation technique to see if there is effects on pain, disability, range of motion, endurance and quality of life in patients with lower cross syndrome. Participants in group A will be given * Heating pad for 10 minutes * Core stability exercises for 20 minutes with 10 seconds of rest intervals * Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation technique was used for stretching of erector spinae, quadratus lumborum, rectus femoris and iliopsoas and rhythmic stabilization technique for strengthening. Stretching was performed using contract-relax technique in supine, prone and side lying positions. The Contract-Relax method included the target muscle to be lengthened and held in lengthened position while the patient contracted the Target-Muscle to its maximum position isometrically 3 to 6 seconds. * Rhythmic stabilization technique was used to strengthen and stabilize the postural trunk muscles of hip: Abdominals and gluteal muscles strengthening and Participants in group B will be given * Heating pad for 10 minutes * Core stability exercises for another 20 minutes. * After which it was treated with the Janda's approach of musculoskeletal pain that includes strengthening of the weakened muscles and stretching of the tightened muscles including Stretching exercise for erector spinae and back extensors muscles Stretching exercises for iliopsoas muscle and rectus femoris muscle Strengthening exercise for abdominal muscle and gluteal maximus muscle

Effects of Core Strengthening on Pelvic Tilt, Dynamic Balance and Agility in Lower Cross Syndrome: a Quasi-experimental Study

This study is a quasi experimental study and the purpose of this study is to determine the effects of core strengthening on pelvic tilt, dynamic balance and agilty in lower cross syndrome.
