EFFECT OF SELECTED YOGIC PRACTICES ON TRAVELLING OF LOW BACK PAIN PATIENTS

The purpose of the study was to investigate the effect of selected yogic practices on travelling of low back pain patients. Thirty low back pain patients are taken from the Chidambaram, Tamilnadu. The age, height and weight of the subjects ranged from 30 to 40 years, 158 to 169 centimetres and 55 to 70 kilograms respectively. The selected subjects were randomly assigned into two equal groups of 15 subjects each. Group I underwent Yogic practices, group II acted as control. Prior to and after the training the subjects were tested on travelling of low back pain patients through the Oswestry low back pain disability questionnaire. Analysis of covariance was used to determine the significantly difference existing between pre test and post test on sitting of low back pain patients. The result of the study proved that due to twelve weeks of the experimental training was reduced back pain while travelling for the low back pain patients.
