Abstract:

This study aims to compare ultrasound interventions and muscle energy techniques more effective than ultrasound and McKenzie exercise in improving functional ability in non-specific low back pain cases. The test used is a modified oswestry low back pain disability questionnaire to measure functional pain. Using experimental design with pre-test and post-test group design involved a sample of 32 people divided into 2 groups. Group 1 with ultrasound treatment and muscle energy technique and group 2 with ultrasound treatment and Mckenzie exercise. Hypothesis test results using the independent sample t-test obtained results p = 0,000 with a mean difference in group 1 22,85 (SB 4,348) while group 2 obtained a mean difference of 12,86 (SB 2,797). These results showed that there was a significant difference in the reduction of significant non-specific LBP functional pain between the treatment groups of the muscle energy technique and the McKenzie exercise treatment group.
