Purpose: The purpose of the study was to investigate the effects of sustained natural appophyseal glides (SNAGS) on pain and lumbar stability in patients with chronic low back pain.
Methods: The subjects were assigned randomly devided SNAGS group(n=18) and control group(n=18). The SNAGS group received Infrared(IR) used thermal therapy for 20minutes, Interference current therapy(ICT) used electrical therapy for 10minutes and SNAGS for 10minutes to 15minutes. The control group received IR used thermal therapy for 20minutes, ICT used electrical therapy for 10minutes and active stretching exercise for 10minutes to 15minutes. The visual analogue scale(VAS) and lumbar stability were measured at pre-treatment and post-treatment.
Results: The results of this study were summarized as follows : 1. The VAS score of SNAGS group and control group was significantly within-subjects pre-test and post-test (p<.05), there was significantly difference between-subjects on each groups(p<.05). 2. The SNAGS group was significantly increased in variation of lumbar stability on , , , , , , and within-subjects pre-test and post-test(p<.05), but The control group wasn’t significantly increased in variation of lumbar stability on , , , , , , and within-subjects pre-test and post-test(p>.05). There was significantly difference between-subjects on each groups(p<.05).
Conclusion: In conclusion, SNAGS found that effective to decrease of pain and increase of lumbar stability. Therefore, the results of this study suggests that SNAGS is beneficial treatment for chronic low back pain.
