Summary

The study was conducted to determine the effects of Kaltenborn mobilization with and without proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation technique on pain, range of motion and function in patients with chronic non-specific low back pain.

Conditions

• Non-specific Chronic Low Back Pain

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Kaltenborn mobilization	Kaltenborn mobilization was applied to the lumbar spine area in the dorsal direction . Patient was positioned in flexion , side bending and rotation to the right and glide was applied in dorsal direction. Similar glide was given to patient in extension, side bending and rotation to the right. These techniques were performed for 3 days per week for 6 consecutive weeks.
OTHER	Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation Technique	PNF Hold Relax technique was performed on lumbar spine to increase the extensibility of the surrounding muscles after a maximal response. These techniques were performed for 3 days per week for 6 consecutive weeks.
OTHER	Standard Physiotherapy Treatment	Hotpack for 10 mins was applied with Tens at a burst mode with pulse width 200 microsec, frequency 100 Hz, burst frequency 2 Hz for 10 mins. Ultrasound was applied for 10 mins, stretching of calf, hamstrings and gluteals along with back strengthening.
