Abstract
One of the prevalent musculoskeletal condition in the society is the pain of the lower back. It is the pain that occurs on the posterior side of the body and it extends from the lower level of ribs till the gluteus muscle’s creases or lower levels. As per the literature 90% to 95% of the cases of the lower back pain are usually non-specific lower back pain (LBP). Disability related to lower back pain there was an increase of 54% in the living years
Objective: To determine the effects of Myofascial Release (MFR) with and without taping on the Pain Pressure Threshold of female patients with non-specific lower back pain (LBP).
Methods: Fifty female patients with non-specific LBP were randomized to the MFR group (n=25), receiving a total of nine sessions of MFR, each lasting for 40 minutes 3 weeks, and to the MFKT group (n=25), which received MFR in combination with taping. The study variable was Pain Pressure Threshold (PPT).
Study design: Single-blinded, randomized parallel trial and treatment intention analysis.
Results: Subjects that received MFR with taping (MFKT) group showed more significant improvement than MFR alone in PPT among all the muscles.
