EFFECTIVENESS OF ISOKINETIC EXERCISE VS ISOINERTIAL EXERCISE ADJOINING WITH K-TAPING IN CASE OF DISCOMFORT IN LOWER BACK. A COMPARATIVE WITH RCT STUDY

Background: When back discomfort persists, isokinetic and isoinertial exercises are frequently used to maintain muscle power and enhance the stability of the core muscles. the understanding of the potential benefits of various exercise regimens with biochemical effects for those suffering from persistent lower back pain (LBP). Additionally, K-tapping is a technique that stabilizes muscles to aid in their recovery from trauma. Objective: To determine and contrast the physiological and biological consequences for individuals with persistent low back pain of isokinetic vs isoinertial exercise with tapping. Design: randomized controlled trial studies Setting: ANS hospital jaipur. Participants: 50 lower back pain patients were randomly assigned to two groups, each consisting of 25 individuals, for this study. For 20 days in a row, Gp-A received isokinetic training with tapping, whereas Gp-B received isoinertial training with tapping. Outcome measures: VAS for pain, BPFS for functional score, were measured at base line and after 10th day, and at post intervention. Results: For persistent LBP, isokinetic exercise is more advantageous than isoinertial exercise. Physical therapists' understanding and clinical evaluation abilities about LBP can be enhanced by implementing the current study.
