Comparison of the Effects of Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization Techniques Low Back Pain
Condition: Chronic Low-back Pain
MeSH terms: Back Pain; Low Back Pain
Study type: Interventional

Summary: 
      The aim of this study is to determine whether the effectiveness of instrument-assisted soft
      tissue mobilization technique is different from passive prone lying when performed with a
      functional exercise in individuals with chronic nonspecific low back pain.
    

Detailed description: 
      Individuals participating in the study will first be divided into two groups by
      randomization. While IASTM (Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization Techniques) will be
      applied to one group in the prone position, IASTM will be applied to the other group with
      functional exercise. The pain, mobility, flexibility, disability and endurance parameters of
      the individuals assigned to the groups after randomization will be determined just before the
      application, immediately after the 1st application and immediately after the 6th application.
      The study will last for a total of 6 sessions, with two sessions per week for 3 weeks.
    

Intervention name(s): Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization Group While Lying Prone; Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization Group Combined with Functional Movement
Intervention type(s): Other; Other
Intervention description(s): Sliding movements in all directions at 30 - 60 degree angles will be made in the form of mobilizations of 45 seconds with instruments.
Mobilizations of 45 seconds will be made with instruments along the quarter circle line in all directions at 30 - 60 degree angles.
Starting with an angle of 60 degrees on the area to be treated, the movement of shifting towards an angle of 30 degrees will be made in all directions for 30 seconds.
The tissue will be mobilized for 30 consecutive seconds, starting from just caudal to your waist and drawing the letter J towards the cranial.
Sliding movements in all directions at 30 - 60 degree angles will be made with instruments in the form of mobilizations for 45 seconds.
Mobilizations of 45 seconds will be made with instruments along the quarter circle line in all directions at 30 - 60 degree angles.
