Summary

Low back pain is amongst the most prevalent musculoskeletal conditions worldwide.This condition has a significant impact on the person's quality of life by effecting their various activities of daily living. As of 2017 it remains the leading cause of years lived with disability.Various management strategies are used for the treatment of low back pain. In the recent years neurodynamic techniques are being used for the treatment of low back pain. Escpecially, patients of low back pain who have neural mechanosensitivity may benefit from neural mobilization techniques. Slump stretching is a neurodynamic technqiue which is used to improve the mobility of dural tissue.Different studies have shown postive results of slump stretching in patients of low back pain. However no such study has investigated the role of slump stretching in improving range of motiion in low back pain patients.So this study aims to investigate the the effect of slump stretching in low back pain patients specially on low back Low back pain is amongst the most prevalent musculoskeletal conditions worldwide.This condition has a significant impact on the person's quality of life by effecting their various activities of daily living.

Conditions

• Low Back Pain

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	Neural slump mobilization	Slump stretching will be performed with the patient in the long sitting position with the patient's feet against the wall to assure the ankle remained in 0 degree dorsiflexion. The therapist will apply over pressure to the cervical spine flexion to the point where the patient's symptoms will be reproduced. The position will be held for 30 s. A total of 5 repetitions will be completed.
PROCEDURE	Conventional Physical Therapy	Moist heat with hydro collator pack, Maitland Mobilization for Lumbar spine, Therapeutic exercise: Core stability exercises
