EFFICACY OF MCKENZIE APPROACH ON LUMBAR DERANGEMENT SYNDROME

Low back pain is a common condition found in adults. About two third of adults complain of low back pain at some time. Derangement syndrome is sometimes defined as back pain that lasts for longer than 7–12 weeks. McKenzie is one of the effective methods in treating low back pain. The purpose of my study is to find the efficacy of McKenzie in derangement syndrome. The aim of this research is to find out the efficacy of McKenzie approach on derangement syndrome. Objective: To determine the efficacy of McKenzie approach in reducing pain by using NPRS scale in Derangement syndrome. To determine the efficacy of McKenzie approach in improving Lumbar spine mobility by using Modified Schober test in Derangement syndrome. Totally 30 participants were selected for the study and they were divided into 15 subjects and divided into 2 groups for experimental group and another 15 subjects for conventional group. The conventional group was given Conventional therapy, which is low back exercise and massage while the Experimental group was given McKenzie low back exercises, having the program frequency of 5days in a week for 4 weeks given. The Numerical pain rating scale and modified Schober test are used as outcome measures. The Statistical Analysis Shows That There Is An Improvement In Range Of Motion And Reduction In Pain In Individuals With Derangement Syndrome. It Is Concluded That There Is An Improvement In Range Of Motion And Reduction In Pain In Individuals With Derangement Syndrome.
