Active lumbar flexion ROM and difficulty of activity of daily living were evaluated by the Modified-Modified Schober test and Oswestry Disability Questionnaire every week after treatment including the pretest of the first day of treatment.
Results : There were a significant improvement in active lumbar flexion ROM between pretest and the last test. There were significant decreased in difficulty of activity of daily living positive between pretest and the last test.
