Effectiveness of Spinal Mobilization with Leg Movement along with Conventional Therapy Versus Thoracic Mobilization with Periscapular Stretching Along with Conventional Therapy on Pain, Range of Motion and Function in Participants with Lumbar Disc Herniation: A Quasi Experimental Study

Background: Lumbar prolapsed intervertebral disc (PIVD), or herniation, among LBP participants is one of the most prevalent musculoskeletal disorders, affecting approximately 10% of the population. Mulligan mobilisation is used routinely in clinical practice for the management of LDH. The Mulligan concept is based on the theory that minor positional faults of articulating joints surfaces following injury or strain result in a painful and restricted, Range of motion (ROM). Thoracic mobilization and periscapular stretching aims to improve the mechanics of facet joints i. e., the mechanical interface which is primarily affected. Design: A Quasi Experimental study. Methodology: This study included 30 participants with Lumbar disc herniation. All participants were randomly divided into two groups group A(n-15) Spinal mobilization with leg movement along with conventional physical therapy and group B(n-15) Thoracic mobilization with periscapular stretching along with conventional physical therapy. Both groups were treated 5 sessions/week for 4 weeks Statistical analysis was done for scores of NPRS, all lumbar flexion range of motion and functional disability. Result: The result shows statistical significance (p
