Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Pain intensity

    It will be measured with a visual analog scale (VAS) of 100 millimeters in length. The subject has to indicate the level of pain he feels, being 0 the absence of pain and 100 the maximum imaginable.

    Baseline; inmediately after intervention.

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Functionality

    Baseline; inmediately after intervention.

Study Arms (2)

Lumbar motor control + Gluteal exercises

EXPERIMENTAL

Combined lumbar motor control program and gluteal muscle strengthening exercises

Device: Lumbar motor control exercisesDevice: Gluteal strengthening exercises

Lumbar motor control

EXPERIMENTAL

Lumbar motor control program alone

Device: Lumbar motor control exercises

Interventions

24 sessions over an 8-week period, at a frequency of three sessions per week (on alternating days -Monday, Wednesday, and Friday-); 60min/session.

Lumbar motor controlLumbar motor control + Gluteal exercises

Gluteal strengthening exercises will be performed in the same days as lumbar motor control program.
