Objective: Study on the improvement of Maitland combined with self-management on sedentary people with low back pain.

Methods: Patients who received lumbago treatment in our hospital were selected. A total of 73 patients who received Maitland combined with self-management during the treatment were included as the research group (RG). Another 63 patients were only treated with self-management as control group (CG). The scores of disease knowledge, self-management, pain, lumbar dyskinesia, limited daily activities and therapeutic efficacy were compared between the two groups.

Results: The scores of common knowledge, concept knowledge and aceognosia of diseases in RG were higher than those in CG (p<0.05). The exercise time, cognitive symptom management practice score and communication status score of patients in RG were higher than those in CG (p<0.05). The VAS score of RG was significantly lower than that of CG (p<0.05). The score of lumbar dyskinesia in RG was lower than that in CG (p<0.05). The score of limited daily activities in RG was lower than that in CG (p<0.05). The effective treatment rate in RG was higher than that in CG (p<0.05).

Conclusion: Maitland combined with self-management has a better effect on sedentary people with low back pain, which is worthy of clinical application.
