| Abstract | ||
| Background: Due to musculoskeletal and biomechanical changes during pregnancy, postnatal low back pain (PLBP) is a frequent condition that affects women after giving birth. Purpose: This study was conducted to investigate the effect of kinetic control on postnatal low back pain intensity and lumbar ROM. Methods: The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) was used to assess the severity of pain, pressure algometer was used to assess pain pressure threshold and lumbar flexibility (lumbar flexion ROM) was assessed by using modified Schober test for each woman in both groups (A, B) before and after treatment. Results: there was no significance difference between groups in age, weight, height and BMI. Within groups; there was a significant decrease in VAS and significant increase in pain pressure threshold and lumbar flexibility (lumbar flexion ROM) post treatment. Between groups; pre treatment: there was no significant difference between the two groups A and B in VAS, PPT and lumbar flexion ROM. Post treatment: there was significant difference between the two groups A and B in VAS, PPT and lumbar flexion ROM with favor of group B. Conclusion: It can be concluded that kinetic control training (KCT) is effective modality in reducing postnatal low back pain through decreasing pain intensity and increasing pain pressure threshold and lumbar flexibility (lumbar flexion ROM). | ||
