Effects of the Addition of Hands-on Procedures to McKenzie Exercises on Pain, Functional Disability and Back Mobility in Patients with Low Back Pain: A Randomised Clinical Trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Low back pain (LBP) is a common musculoskeletal disorder that affects people of all ages. This study investigates the effects of the addition of hands-on procedures to McKenzie exercises on patients with LBP and derangement syndrome.

Methods

Forty-eight female patients were randomly assigned to either the experimental group or control group. All the patients in both groups underwent McKenzie exercises, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) and education for 35 min/session-45 min/ session, with three sessions/week for 2 weeks. Hands-on procedures were added to the McKenzie extension exercises only for the patients in the experimental group. A visual analogue scale (VAS), the Oswestry disability index (ODI), back range of motion (BROM) and body diagrams
