A comparison of abdominal hollowing and abdominal bracing exercises on transverse abdominis thickness and balance in recurrent nonspecific low back pain patients.
The objective of this clinical trial is the comparison of the effect of abdominal hollowing and bracing exercises on transverse abdominis thickness and static balance in recurrent nonspecific low back pain patients. In this study 45 recurrent nonspecific low back pain participants will be randomly assigned into three abdominal hollowing, abdominal bracing and control group (15 persons in each group). After 6 weeks training, both groups and participants in control group, will be assessed for static balance and transverese abdominis muscle thickness.
