Ashok Kumar K. | R. Radha Krishnan ^[2] | R. Nivetha

Abstract: Background: Low back pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal injuries. Back School and McKenzie methods are popular active treatment approaches that include both exercises and information for patients with chronic nonspecific low back pain. (TENS) is a noninvasive therapeutic modality that has been used in the management of chronic low back pain. The prognosis of the treatment was assessed using visual analog scale (vas) and Revised Oswestry low back pain disability questionnaire. This Treatments can reduce the low back pain among sculptors of Mahabalipuram. Methodology: Materials used in this study were: VAS, Revised oswestry low back pain disability questionnaire, TENS, 4 Leads and 4 carbon electrode, Cotton, Pillow, Couch, Consent form, Measurement tape, Cord, Assessment form, Blanket, Pen. We assessed the sculptors using assessment form. Consent form was obtained and then questionnaires were distributed. During participation, Subjects also provided general demographic data and completed the Revised Oswestry low back pain disability questionnaire. In the both pre and post pre intervention on day 1 and postintervention on day8. Result: This study is based on 20 adults age group between 18- 60 years has been Revised Oswestry low back Questionnaire filled and vas scale to measure which age group has been affected commonly in low back pain based on statistic in present study the main objective of this clinical trial was to find out the Effectiveness of McKenzie approach along with Tens modality for the low back pain among sculptors. As we are giving the tens and McKenzie approach exercises results of the low back pain had been reduced. Among 20 subjects were selected by convenient sampling method The pre- and post-test (5.2) and (2.2) mean value of VAS of evaluation of pain. Revised Qswestry low back pain Questionnaire Scoring of pre and post test (73.95) and (40.5) are the evaluation of sculptors low back pain. Vas significant value (0.000) RQLBP Significant value (0.000). Conclusion: The study conclude that Effectiveness of McKenzie approach along with Tens modality for the low backpain among sculptors This study was conducted to assess and compare the effectiveness of TENS with McKenzie and TENS chronic low back pain. The subject of both the groups showed improvement in their VAS, Revised Qswestry low back pain Questionnaire Scoring Sheet showed statistically more improvement p < 0.05 the result of the study shows that along with McKenzie and Tens Significant and decrease in pain and improving functional ability of the sculptors.
