Effects Of Quadratus Lumborum Release on Respiratory Outcomes on Low Back Pain Patients

The aim of this research is to check the effects of Quadratus Lumborum (QL) release onrespiratory function and pain levels in individuals with chronic low back pain.Randomized controlled trials done at Pakistan Railway General Hospital, Rawalpindi andRawal General & Dental Hospital Islamabad. The sample size was 36. The subjects weredivided into two groups, 18 subjects in the experimental group will receive muscle energytechnique on quadratus lumborum along with conventional intervention for LBP and 18 incontrol group will only receive conventional intervention exercises for LBP. Studyduration was of 6 months. Sampling technique applied was non probability connivancesampling technique. Only 30‐60 years both males and females diagnosed with mechanical lowback pain persist at least >3 months. Tools used in the study of Numeric Pain ratingscale (Pain assessment). Modified Oswestry Disability Index (m‐ODI) (for ADLs in CLBP).Inclinometer (for ranges of lumber spine). Digital spirometer (for FEV1/FVC ratio).Inches Tap (For Chest Expansion) & (For Quadratus lumborum length test). Fatigue SeverityScale (FSS).
