Brief Summary

This study will be conducted on patients of mechanical low back pain. Surface electromyography biofeedback driven core stability protocol will be given to experimental group and the control group will be treated with core stabilization regimen. Then it will compare the effects of surface electromyography biofeedback with core stability on postural stability and sensory integration of balance .

Conditions

Low Back Pain

Keywords

Low back pain; Postural stability; Sensory integration of balance; Surface Electromyography Biofeedback

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Postural Stability

  it will be measured by using postural stability Balance System (R=0.94) (WJC Cachupe et al, 2001). This test is performed with open eyes as well as eyes closed and overall stability index will be calculated at the end of the test along with the percentage of time spent in each of the quadrants and zones (A to D).This test also provided information about the anterior /posterior index and Medial/Lateral index of participation

  6 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (4)

• Sensory integration of Balance

  6 weeks

• Low Back Pain

  6 weeks

• Low back related functional disability

  6 weeks

• Lumbar Range of Motion

  6 weeks

Study Arms (2)

Core stability protocol

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Participants in this group will undergo core stability exercise program . Each exercise plan will be progressively increased.

Procedure: Core stability exercises

Core Stability with surface electromyography biofeedback
