Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS)

    Description: The NPRS is a simple, quick, and widely used tool in both clinical and research settings for musculoskeletal pain conditions. It demonstrates excellent test-retest reliability, with intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) ranging from 0.79 to 0.96

    6th week.

  • Modified Oswestry Disability Index (MODI)

    Description: The MODI is a widely used and validated tool for assessing disability related to low back and pelvic girdle disorders. It has demonstrated excellent test-retest reliability, with intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) ranging from 0.88 to 0.97

    6 weeks

  • Fear-Avoidance Beliefs Questionnaire (FABQ)

    The FABQ assesses patient beliefs with regard to the effect of physical activity and work on their Low Back Pain. It exhibits excellent test-retest reliability, with intraclass correlation coefficients of 0.82

    6 weeks

Study Arms (2)

Kinesiotapping and Core Stability Exercises

EXPERIMENTAL

I-bands applied over bilateral SIJ (50% tension), diagonal I-bands across SIJ (75% tension). Applied weekly for 6 weeks. Core Stability Exercises: Bridging (5-10 sec hold, progressive reps) Wall squat (10 sec hold, progressive reps) Knee to chest (progressive reps) Prone arm opposite leg raises (progressive reps) Back extension (progressive reps)

Other: Kinesiotapping and Core Stability Exercises

Core Stability Exercises (CSE) only

OTHER

Core Stability Exercises: Bridging (5-10 sec hold, progressive reps) Wall squat (10 sec hold, progressive reps) Knee to chest (progressive reps) Prone arm opposite leg raises (progressive reps) Back extension (progressive reps)
