Summary

the effect of kinetic control training and hotpack and compare it with hotpack alone on postnatal low back pain

Detailed description

Background: Postnatal low back pain (PLBP) is a common condition affecting women after childbirth due to musculoskeletal and biomechanical changes during pregnancy. Effective rehabilitation strategies are essential for pain relief and functional recovery. Objective: This study aims to evaluate the effect of kinetic control training in postnatal women with low back pain. Methods: A total of 66 postnatal women with low back pain were randomly selected from WENGAT Hospital and EL SHATBY Hospital in Alexandria. Participants were divided into two equal groups: Group A: 33 women treated with hot pack for 20 minutes twice daily for 6 weeks. Group B: 33 women treated with a combination of kinetic control training and hot pack 3 sessions/week for 6 weeks. Pain intensity will be assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and Pressure Algometer. Range of motion (ROM) will be evaluated using the Modified Schober Test.

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	hot pack therapy	Application of a commercial hot pack to the lumbar region for 20-30 minutes per session, twice daily, for 6 weeks.
GENETIC	Kinetic control training	is an evidence-based rehabilitation approach, focused on retraining movement patterns by addressing and improving motor control of the lumbar spine and pelvis, correcting faulty movement strategies, enhancing stability in functional tasks. The principles of KCT entail the identification of direction-specific motor control deficit, uncontrolled extension, followed by focused retraining of movement control through specific exercises designed to improve the coordination and activation of deep stabilizing muscle systems, including the transversus abdominis, multifidus, and pelvic floor muscles. This approach is especially relevant in postpartum women, where motor control deficits and poor load transfer capabilities are commonly observed . Based on the clinical presentation of patients with postnatal low back pain, demonstrated symptoms that were aggravated during lumbar extension movements or when maintaining prolonged upright postures.
