Instrumental Soft Tissue Mobilization in Patients With Low Back Pain
Condition: Low Back Pain
MeSH terms: Back Pain; Low Back Pain
Study type: Interventional

Summary: 
      Low back pain is caused by strain of the ligaments or muscles around the vertebral column or
      a musculoskeletal system formed due to compression of the nerves coming out of the spinal
      cord is a system nuisance.The process that begins as acute pain become chronic with
      prolongation of life, limit physical function and negatively affecting the quality of work,
      loss of workforce and health care It is an important health problem that causes an increase
      in expenditures. Thirty patients (mean age; 38.46±9.03 years) with CNLBP were included in the
      study. The patients have randomly divided into two groups Graston technique (GT) and control.
      Graston was applied three times a week for four weeks in addition to the exercise program in
      the GT group, while only the exercise program was applied to the control group. Pain
      intensity (Visual analog scale), pressure pain threshold (algometer), proprioception (digital
      inclinometer), flexibility (sit and reach test), disability (Oswestry disability index), and
      quality of life (Short form-36) were evaluated at the beginning and end of the study.This
      study aims to investigate the effect of the Graston technique added to exercise on pain,
      proprioception, disability, flexibility, and quality of life in individuals with chronic
      non-specific low back pain (CNLBP).
    

Detailed description: 
      Low back pain is caused by strain of the ligaments or muscles around the vertebral column or
      a musculoskeletal system formed due to compression of the nerves coming out of the spinal
      cord is a system nuisance.The process that begins as acute pain become chronic with
      prolongation of life, limit physical function and negatively affecting the quality of work,
      loss of workforce and health care It is an important health problem that causes an increase
      in expenditures.The most load-bearing region of the spine in the movement system is the
      lumbar region. from mechanical stresses, functional loads, occupational and sportive It is
      the area most affected by trauma. In recent years, studies have shown that manual therapy
      methods can be used to reduce chronic low back pain.

      shows that it is a viable treatment option in reducing Instrument assisted soft tissue
      mobilization (Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization, IASTM), is a popular method that
      can be used for myofascial restriction. is a treatment method. Reducing pain in the area of
      IASTM pathology, increasing range of motion (ROM), improving motion function and is used to
      give a mobilizing effect.In the light of studies in the literature, patients with chronic
      non-specific low back pain Instrumental soft tissue mobilization to be applied will reduce
      pain, joint range of motion, flexibility, functionality and quality of life positively is
      thought to develop.Thirty patients (mean age; 38.46±9.03 years) with CNLBP were included in
      the study. The patients have randomly divided into two groups Graston technique (GT) and
      control. Graston was applied three times a week for four weeks in addition to the exercise
      program in the GT group, while only the exercise program was applied to the control group.
      Pain intensity (Visual analog scale), pressure pain threshold (algometer), proprioception
      (digital inclinometer), flexibility (sit and reach test), disability (Oswestry disability
      index), and quality of life (Short form-36) were evaluated at the beginning and end of the
      study.This study aims to investigate the effect of the Graston technique added to exercise on
      pain, proprioception, disability, flexibility, and quality of life in individuals with
      chronic non-specific low back pain (CNLBP).
    

Intervention name(s): instrumental soft tissue mobilization
Intervention type(s): Device
Intervention description(s): Individual supine for application will be deposited. The Graston instrument glides over the tissues of the individual. cream will be applied to make it easier, then the physiotherapist will will stand on its side at the level and graston for 5 minutes. superficially on the thoracolumbal fascia between the sacrum and T12. will be applied
Other intervention name(s): exercise
Allocation: Randomized
Intervention model: Parallel Assignment
Intervention model description: Thirty patients (mean age; 38.46±9.03 years) with CNLBP were included in the study. The patients have randomly divided into two groups Graston technique (GT) and control. Graston was applied three times a week for four weeks in addition to the exercise program in the GT group, while only the exercise program was applied to the control group. Pain intensity (Visual analog scale), pressure pain threshold (algometer), proprioception (digital inclinometer), flexibility (sit and reach test), disability (Oswestry disability index), and quality of life (Short form-36) were evaluated at the beginning and end of the study.
