Abstract:
The purpose of the study was explore the effectiveness of physiotherapy treatment in
lumber disc prolapse patient with advised surgery by orthopedic consultant or neurology
consultant. Objectives: To evaluate the outcome of pain after receiving physiotherapy
according to visual analog scale, to identify the improvement of every component of
functional ability level. Methodology: Single group Pre- test & Post-test design was used
for the study design. Total 10 participants with PLID were selected through convenience
sampling for this experimental study. The study is conducted at musculoskeletal outdoor
Unit of CRP. Visual analog scale was used to measure the intensity of pain in different
functional position. Related “t” test was used to compare the result in Pain was analyzed
by Calculating mean difference between pretest and posttest. Results: By using an related
t test on the data the result were found to be highly significant in case of resting pain
(p<0.05), pain in sitting (p<0.05), in standing (p<0.05), pain during walking (p<0.05),
pain during heavy weight lifting (p<0.05) and pain during stairing (p<0.05).Conclusion:
After observing pre-test and post-test score the study found that lumber disc prolapse is
significantly decrease by receiving physiotherapy. The experimental study shows that
physiotherapy treatment are effective treatment for reducing pain and disability in lumber
disc prolapse patient. Participants in the study showed a greater benefit after receiving
treatment than earlier. Which indicate that physiotherapy can be an effective treatment
approach for patient with lumber disc prolapse.
Key words: Lumber disc prolapse, Physiotherapy treatment
