Effectiveness of gluteal and hamstring muscles strengthening exercises on low back pain of mechanical origin


Author(s): B Kamaraj and MK Franklin Shaju

Abstract: Background and Purpose: The purpose of the study is to find and compare the effects of gluteal and hamstring muscles strengthening exercises along with interferential therapy and conventional physiotherapy exercises along with interferential therapy on low back pain of mechanical origin.
Materials and Methods: In the study 40 mechanical low back pain subjects were selected based on the criteria and randomly divided into two groups, group A and group B, each group consist 20 subjects. Group A subjects were treated with gluteal and hamstring muscles strengthening exercises and group B conventional physiotherapy exercises and both the group subjects received interferential therapy. Low back pain was measured before and after interventions by visual analogue scale.
Data Analysis & Results: The calculated paired ‘t’ test values shows significance within groups and the unpaired ‘t’ test value shows between group significance.
Conclusion: Low back pain is significantly reduced in both the groups but when comparing both pain is more reduced in gluteal and hamstring muscles strengthening exercises group than conventional physiotherapy exercises group.
