“…Likewise, When McKenzie's method was contrasted with passive therapies, stabilization exercises and strengthening exercises, results were found that McKenzie is the favored in lessening pain and enhancing functional activity level in the treatment of chronic low back pain [28].…”

Background: Neck pain is the most common and painful musculoskeletal condition which has a great socioeconomic burden on both patients and society. McKenzie protocol results in significant decrease in pain and increase range of motion and functional ability in spinal conditions but there are insufficient data available to determine the efficacy of the McKenzie protocol on non specific neck pain patient's further research which addresses these issues is required.Purpose: This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of McKenzie protocol on cervical range of motion (CROM), intensity of pain, and neck functional activity level in the management of non specific neck pain patients. Materials and Methods:Thirty patients with non specific neck pain,30-50 years of age was assigned in two groups(study and control) each group contained fifteen patients, all patients received traditional treatment for six weeks 3times/week and additionally study group received McKenzie protocol. CROM, pain, and functional activity level were measured pre-treatment and post six weeks of treatment using myrin goniometer, visual analog scale (VAS), and Copenhagen neck functional disability scale. Results:There was a significant increase in CROM of study group where flexion (p=0.002), extension (p=0.0001), lateral flexion (p=0.02) and rotation (p=0.0001), also significant decrees in pain (p=0.0001) and decease in functional disability level (p=0.0001). Conclusion:McKenzie protocol of treatment additionally to traditional treatment is effective in increase CROM, decrease pain and increase functional activity in non specific neck pain patients.

Background of study: Non-specific low back pain (LBP) becomes the most common cases in University population. Prolonged sitting has been identified as one of the factors leading to non-specific LBP among University population. The purpose of the study is to identify the change of functional disability in non-specific LBP among university population after PNF and McKenzie method. Methods: A quasi-experimental study involving 36 subjects (students and office workers) from the university population. The study population were selected from students and office worker of KPJ Healthcare University College (KPJUC) who met the inclusion criteria. The subjects were divided into three treatment groups: PNF group, McKenzie group and control group (hot pack and educational home exercise sheet) which underwent 12 treatment sessions distributed over three times in a week for four weeks duration. Subjects were measured on functional disability by Oswestry Disability Index (ODI). Measurement was performed at pre-test, mid-test and post-test. Repeated measures ANOVA was used to analyse the effectiveness of PNF and McKenzie treatments based on the measurement time. Result: This study showed that the PNF and McKenzie gave effect in improving ODI score in within group analysis. However, the results of PNF showed that it has more effect than McKenzie method on functional disability score (p <0.05) after 4 weeks. Conclusion: There was a change in functional disability on non-specific LBP after PNF and McKenzie method. Furthermore, the study findings showed that the PNF exercise has more effect in improving functional disability compared to McKenzie method on non-specific LBP among university population.

“…This type of chronic pain can lead to work absenteeism, reduced productivity, and diminished quality of life and functionality, among other consequences5,6,7,8 ) . Thus, chronic pain has become a costly public health problem with a negative impact on life, and it is important for the Brazilian public health system to include in its Primary Care Policy the means for preventing and treating chronic pain.…”

“…This program is compatible with the principles of the Brazilian public health system. However, there are few reports that address Back School in this system12 ) , and research has predominantly focused on secondary and tertiary care services from a biomedical perspective5,6,7,8 ) . Moreover, current literature13 ) indicates that most research involving Back School methodology used evaluation questionnaires for pain intensity, quality of life, and functionality to determine the impact of the program14 ) .…”

[Purpose] Primary care is considered the gateway to the Brazilian public health system and is responsible for managing the most prevalent problems in the population. In this study, the effects of Back School on pain, functionality, and the performance of activities of daily living (ADL) in users with chronic musculoskeletal pain were evaluated. [Subjects and Methods] Forty-four users (33 females and 11 males) participated in Back School, with five two-hour theoretical and practical meetings held once a week. The assessment instruments used were as follows: (a) a circuit evaluation of posture dynamics recorded on video, (b) an observational instrument of ADL using video, (c) anamnesis, (d) the visual analogue scale, and (e) the Oswestry Disability Index. [Results] The results showed decreased pain intensity, improved functionality, and the recovery of ADL. [Conclusion] The Back School program is an effective health education strategy for users with chronic musculoskeletal pain.
