| Popis: | Background. Low back pain (LBP) currently ranks among the most frequent musculoskeletal pathologies, and the average age of those affected is constantly decreasing. One of the causes of LBP is lumbar disc herniation (LDH). If untreated, it causes disability and leads to socio-economic problems. Traction techniques are a popular method of treating this condition. The stage of LDH (protrusion, extrusion) in young people appears to determine patients’ clinical status, necessitating diversification of treatment methods with regard to the type of damage. Material and methods. The study enrolled 37 people aged 22-35. The subjects underwent radiological evaluation (MRI), which constituted the basis for assigning them to one of two groups: a protrusion group (PRO) or an extrusion group (EXT). During the experiment, the patient was in the supine position while the therapist administered three-dimensional traction using a manual therapy belt. The Oswestry questionnaire, MRC scale, NRS, SLR test, PLE test and measurements of lumbar segment mobility were used for clinical evaluation. Statistica 12.5 was used to perform statistical calculations. Results. An analgesic effect was noted with regard to the following two parameters in both groups: ODI (PRO 28 → 14 and EXT 30 → 28, p |
