Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Arabic ODI for function

    a)ODI ASSESMENT: Patient-completed questionnaire which gives a percentage score of level of function (disability) in activities of daily living in those rehabilitating from low back pain. In pre session and after end of sessions This Questionnaire examines perceived level of disability in 10 everyday activities of daily living. The 6 statements are scored from 0 to 5 with the first statement scoring 0 through to the last at5 If all 10 sections are completed the score is calculated as follows: if 16 (total scored) out of 50 (total possible score) x 100 = 32% Scores: 1- (0% to 20%): minimal disability 2-(21%-40%: moderate disability) 3- (41%-60%): severe disability 4-(61%-80%: crippled) 5-(81%-100%) These patients are either bed-bound or exaggerating their symptoms

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Numerical rating scale

    5 minutes

  • Tape measurement

  • Fear avoidance belief questionnaire

Study Arms (2)

physical therapy intervention

EXPERIMENTAL

1. core stability exercises: 1. Multifidus exercises 2. Frontal \& Side Plank exercise 3. Pelvic floor exercises 4. abdominal exercises 2. Strengthening exercises 1. Bridging 2. straight leg raise 3. gluteus medius strength 4. gluteus maximus strengthening for about 20 min to 30 min to strength back and proximal hip control muscles

Behavioral: graded exposure and activity

graded exposure and graded activity in addition to phycal therapy intervention

EXPERIMENTAL

1. Graded exposure:This approach followed a model where the patient was gradually exposed to previously pain provocative, feared and or avoided tasks. These activities are started at a diminished level that elicits minimal amounts of fear and then gradually increased to situations that elicit larger amounts of fear patients are asked to create a hierarchy of feared activities. The exposure starts with the least feared activity, and the therapist helps the patient appraise the exposure and its consequences and then address irrational and counterproductive beliefs, leading to reductions in the anxiety associated with the activity 2. Graded activity exercises: The new postural and movement behaviors were integrated into each person's nominated pain provocative functional activities linked to their goals in order to generalize learning and build self-efficacy the program focuses on functional activities for about 10 min before physical therapy program (strengthening)

Masking Details
The main investigator will perform the physical therapy program after referral by Blind assessor after assessment. Main investigator start the treatment based on the randomization made by the software after the referral so he will not know the assessment results before and after he treatment and the assessor will not know the randomization results and the patient group selected for treatment So this procedures will be done by double blind procedure for the main investigator and research assistance.
