Brief Summary

This study will be conducted to comapre between kinetic control training versus core stability exercises on proprioception and spatiotemporal gait parameters in chronic non-specific low back pain.

Conditions

Low Back Pain

Keywords

Kinetic Control; Core Stability Exercises; Proprioception; Spatiotemporal Gait Parameters; Chronic Non-specific Low Back Pain

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• lumber repositioning error (lumbar proprioception)

  The iPhone® application will be used to assess lumbar repositioning error. It will be placed vertically, halfway between the anterior superior and PSIS, just above the iliac crest, and fastened with a belt. The initial location and the inclination of the inclinometer were both fixed at 0°. There was a 0 to 30° range of motion (ROM). The assessor gently guided the individual to a 30° flexion and instructed them to hold this posture for ten seconds. After then, the participant actively went back to their starting location and subsequently did it three times.

  up to 8 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (7)

• pain intensity

  up to 8 weeks

• gait speed

  up to eight weeks

• cadence

  up to eight weeks

• stride and step time

  up to eight weeks

• stride and step length

  up to eight weeks

Study Arms (3)

Kinetic control group

EXPERIMENTAL

Twenty patients will receive kinetic control training with conventional physical therapy three times a week for 8 weeks

Other: Kinetic control exercises; Other: conventional physical therapy

Core stability exercises group

EXPERIMENTAL

Twenty patients will receive core stability exercises with conventional physical therapy three times a week for 8 weeks

Other: Core stability exercises; Other: conventional physical therapy

Conventional physical therapy exercise

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

twenty patients will receive conventional physical therapy three times a week for 8 weeks

Other: conventional physical therapy

Interventions

Kinetic control exercises OTHER

Each patient in the group will be received kinetic control retraining with conventional physical therapy. For each movement direction, specific control tests will be conducted. The direction and site of the uncontrolled movement will be evaluated using special tests in accordance with the pain history of the patient.

Kinetic control group

Core stability exercises OTHER

Core stability exercises include curl up (head and shoulders lifting), bridging exercise with leg elevation, and quadruped with arm and leg lift will be performed with maintaining the lumbar spine neutral. each patient in that group will be received core stability exercises with conventional physical therapy,

Core stability exercises group

conventional physical therapy OTHER

conventional physical therapy includes Trans-cutaneous electric Nerve Stimulation (TENS), Heat by hot packs

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 18 Years - 45 Years
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: No
• Age Groups: Adult (18-64)

You may qualify if:

• Subjects from both sexes diagnosed with chronic non-specific low back pain with uncontrolled movement related to kinetic control concept
• aging range from 18-45 years
• Pain provoked by movement.
• Pain for at least 3 months
• Pain with sufficient intensity (equal to or greater than 4 points on VAS).

You may not qualify if:

• History of previous spinal surgery.
• Patients with lumbar spine diseases (for example, disc prolapse or spondylolisthesis).
• Patients with abnormal neurological signs in lower extremities, radicular pain in the lower limb, hip arthrosis, congenital musculoskeletal deformity, female patients with pelvic lesions, and pregnant females.
• Red flag signs include unwanted weight loss, less than three months of symptom persistence, malignancies of the spine, spinal instability due to structural cause, for example: ligamentous sprain or spondylolisthesis.
• Gynaecological problems in females that may cause low back pain include coccydynia and hysterotomy
