METHODS: The study, conducted between January 2021 and June 2022 at a tertiary hospital, involved randomizing patients into two groups. Both groups underwent six sessions of stretching and strengthening exercises every other day. The Mulligan group received additional intervention with SNAG and NAGS techniques. Measurements were made regarding the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) score, Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) score and range of motion (ROM) for the patients\' MLBP level.
RESULTS: Post-interventions, both groups exhibited positive changes in flexion ROM, extension ROM, right and left rotation ROM, right and left lateral flexion ROM, VAS score, and ODI score compared to pre-intervention (p < 0.001 for both groups and variables). The Mulligan group showed a higher increase in ROM and a more significant decrease in VAS and ODI scores. Conclusıons: Mulligan mobilization techniques prove significantly beneficial for enhancing ROM in all directions, reducing pain levels, and alleviating disability in obese individuals with MLBP.
方法:研究,2021年1月至2022年6月在一家三级医院进行,将患者随机分为两组。两组每隔一天进行六次伸展和加强锻炼。Mulligan组接受了SNAG和NAGS技术的额外干预。测量视觉模拟量表(VAS)评分,患者MLBP水平的Oswestry残疾指数(ODI)评分和活动范围(ROM)。
结果:干预后,两组均表现出屈曲ROM的积极变化,扩展ROM,左右旋转ROM,左右外侧屈曲ROM,VAS评分,与干预前相比,ODI评分(两组和变量均p<0.001)。Mulligan组的ROM增加更高,VAS和ODI评分下降更明显。结论:Mulligan动员技术证明对增强各个方向的ROM有显著的好处,降低疼痛程度,减轻患有MLBP的肥胖者的残疾。
