Abstract

Mechanical back pain is the general term that refers to any type of back pain caused by placing abnormal stress and strain on muscles of the vertebral column. Typically, mechanical back pain results from bad habits, such as poor posture, poorly designed seating, incorrect bending and lifting motion. The Objectives of the studies are to assess the effect of endurance training of extensors with core stability exercise versus core stability exercise in the management of mechanical low back pain, in terms of pain perception. The second to assess the effect of endurance training of extensors with core stability exercise versus core stability exercise in the management of mechanical low back pain, in terms of functional disability. The methodology which consists of thirty samples selected from the population divided into two equal groups. The procedure was explained to subject. Both the group underwent a pretest measurement of pain intensity and functional disability. Group A treated with endurance training of extensors with core stability exercise. Group B treated with core stability exercise. Hence both groups are treated and after 3 weeks measured pain by visual analogue scale and Functional Disability will be measured using Modified Oswestry Low back pain Disability. The pre and post test values were assessed by VAS and ODI in Group A. The mean difference value is 3 and 4 respectively. The standard deviation value is 1 and0.67 respectively. The pre and post test values were assessed by VAS and ODI in group B. The mean difference value is 16 and 26 respectively. The standard deviation value is 1.26 and 1.45 respectively. The present study which concludes that the endurance training of extensors with core stabilization exercise resulted in a positive impact on their functional activities. The VAS and ODI differences in Mechanical low back pain patients before and after treatment were statistically significant.
