Effect of Mulligan Versus Maitland Mobilization on Lumbar Proprioception in Patients With Chronic Nonspecific Low Back Pain

SNAG technique was applied from a sitting position on the edge of the table while both feet were on a foot rest. A specialized Mulligan belt was used around the patient's waist and therapist's hips. The mobilizing force was applied parallel to the facet joint plane (cephalic direction) and over the spinous processes of the respective symptomatic spinal levels. The patients were asked to lean forward as much as possible during application of the mobilizing force and then return to the starting position while the therapist maintained his mobilizing force until the end. plus traditional therapy

"The subjects were placed in the prone position on a plinth with their hands beside them, and the therapist stood on the subject's side, the ulnar surface of the hand (between pisiform and hamate) was placed over the hypomobile spinous process. The second hand was placed on top of the first to enhance its force. With the therapist's elbows slightly bent and shoulders exactly above the spinous process, an oscillatory movement of the vertebra was executed by applying a posterior-anterior force to the hypomobile or painful spinous process.~Grade III mobilization was applied four times, each with 60 s of oscillation and 20 s of rest in between them (2 or 3 oscillations per second) plus traditional therapy"

the patients will receive traditional therapy in the form of passive stretching, strengthening, and lumbar stabilization exercises
