Purpose : To compare the effect of Mulligan’s Bent Leg Authors: Sana Masroor, Zubia Veqar Raise (BLR) technique and passive stretching on pain, Affiliation: Centre for Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation balance and hamstrings flexibility in patients with chronic Sciences, Jamia Millia Islamia New Delhi- 110025 nonspecific low back pain. Relevance: Low back pain is a common cause of disability http://doi.org/10.18231/j.jsip.2019.009 in individuals. Adequate flexibility of the Hamstring Purpose : The purpose of this narrative review is to examine muscles is essential to eradicate pain and maintain the effect of incorporating diaphragmatic breathing exercise functional mobility which can be achieved by passive with the core stabilization exercise on pain and disability in stretching of hamstrings. BLR is performed in symptom free chronic low back pain. range of motion that makes it safer than any other approach. Relevance: Diaphragm is the main inspiratory muscle, Methods: Twenty-two participants selected by convenience which plays an essential role in stabilizing the spine during sampling, of both genders aged 20 to50 years, diagnosed ADLs. The diaphragmatic dysfunction is associated with with non-specific low back pain ≥3 months. Participants pain and disability in chronic low back pain (CLBP). with traumatic onset, neurological symptoms involving Methods: Two reviewers searched on PubMed/Medline, prolapsed inter-vertebral disc, radiating pain were excluded. scielo, Cochrane library, and PLOS for studies concerning Random allocation into any one group was done. An CLBP and diaphragmatic exercise from January 2018 up to interventional study was conducted. Group A, was given September 2018. The search string consisted of the BLR, and Group B was given passive stretching of following keywords: chronic low back pain, core hamstrings. All participants were given hot-packs to low stabilization exercise, diaphragmatic breathing exercise, back, isometric abdominals, curl-ups, alternate knee to proprioceptive postural control strategy, disability chest, and bilateral knee to chest exercises. Data collected evaluation and trunk muscle activity. The aim of this review included pain intensity by NPRS, degree of hamstring is to investigate the effectiveness of incorporating tightness by Active Knee Extension (AKE) and Functional diaphragmatic exercise with core stabilization exercise on Reach Test (FRT) for balance. pain and disability in CLBP. Analysis: Level of significance was kept at 5%. Mann Results: A total of 33 published research was analysed. The Whitney test was used to compare the mean differences result of this review indicates that core stabilization exercise between both the groups. alone improves the pain and disability in CLBP. The Results: For Right AKE mean difference in group diaphragmatic breathing exercise was shown to improve A=11.82±5.45, group B=5±3.44, U=16.50, p= 0.002, for respiratory function. There is a positive link between the Left AKE mean difference in group A=13.36±7.98, group strengthening of deep core muscle and improving B=5±3.95, U=21.50, p= 0.008, for FRT mean difference in respiratory function and lumbar stability. The individual group A=4.64±2.17, group B=2.5±1.77, U= 25.50, p=0.019, with CLBP is having poor sleep leads to poor QOL. for NPRS mean difference in group A=3±0.77, group Conclusion: The isolated breathing exercise and core B=1.73±1.35, U=25.00, p=0.019. stabilization exercise is effective in reducing pain and Conclusion: Bent Leg Raise is more effective than passive disability in CLBP and improving respiratory function. The stretching in decreasing pain, increasing hamstring therapist should be able to provide more effective treatment flexibility and improving balance in subjects with chronic by incorporating both therapeutic exercise for CLBP low back pain. patients. Implications: Bent Leg Raise can be used in subjects with nonspecific low back pain to decrease pain and improve Keywords: Chronic low back pain, Core stabilization hamstrings flexibility and balance. exercise, Diaphragmatic breathing exercise.

Purpose : To find the point prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders and associated risk factors in school teachers. http://doi.org/10.18231/j.jsip.2019.012 Relevance: The work related musculoskeletal problems are multi factorial, its prevention and treatment need the Purpose: In flatfoot normal mechanisms get affected in comprehensive approach. By studying other associated subtalar, ankle and knee joint which may affect the factor, we can have new insight to physiotherapists to treat proprioception and dynamic balance. There is dearth of the musculoskeletal disorders in teachers. Further it can also literature concerned with proprioception and dynamic help physiotherapist to spread awareness about preventive balance in flatfoot. Hence, a comparison of affection of measures regarding occupational health hazards in teachers. dynamic balance and proprioception in people with and 384 teachers from private and government school of Delhi without functional flatfoot is required. NCR with more than 1 year of experience were included in Relevance: This study will help determine whether dynamic the study. Further teachers who had undergone any surgery balance and proprioception are affected or not in in last 6 months, neurological problem, recent trauma, participants with and without flatfoot. fracture, Pregnancy and any diagnosed gynecological Participants: A total of 32 participants were included in the problems are excluded from the study. study, 16 in flatfoot and 16 in normal arch group. Inclusion Method: After receiving the Permission from school criteria for flatfoot group is participants with functional authority and consent from teachers, a questionnaire flatfoot of grade 1 or more on Feiss line within the age developed by the researcher was distributed among 450 group of 18-30 years and for normal arch group is teachers. The questionnaire had three parts: A. participants with normal arch on Feiss line within the age Demographics, B. Nordic Musculoskeletal questionnaire, C. group of 18-30 years.
