Effect of lumbar McGill stabilization and general exercises on spinal postural balance, pain and active range of motion in patients with non-specific chronic low back pain; Clinical Trial
The aim of present study is to examine McGill stabilization and General lumbar exercises on center of pressure and balance variables changes and lumbar range of motion and pain in chronic non-spesific low back pain(CNSLBP). study population consists of 30 CNSLBP patients aged 20-40 years.
Patients will be randomly divided into two groups : Control group will take general lumbar exercises and intervention group will take McGill stabilization exercises.
Each patient will treat for six weeks. Study variables including pain intensity, range of motion, center of pressure variables, and postural balance which will be measured for each three weeks and will be followed up after one month.
