      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: Intervention group 1: Spinomed Orthosis plus Back School  Program Exercise Therapy:                                                                                            The spinomode orthosis is made of a dorsal, pelvic belt and ventricle.The main part of the pressure on the spine is the back part, which is made of metal with a soft cover. This orthosis is adjustable and can be used for different sizes. The latest version of Spinomed Orthosis is available in various sizes from the German Medi Company.  In the first session, the orthosist will prescribe orthosis according to patients body sizes to use it  2 hours daily for 6 months (which was increased to one year according to the covid 19 pandemic). It will be re-adjusted and improved once every two weeks in first 3 months period.                                                                                                                                                                                   Back School Exercise Therapy .It is a method that includes a training program and a physical exercise that is part of this treatment protocol. Groups of 5 patients will invite to participate in the study, the first session will provide a general description of the study and the effect of the exercise intervention. Exercises will then be taught to individuals based on their ability. The intensity, duration, repetition are individually adjusted and patients are advised to exercise regularly daily for the next two week. They will also share their experiences and problems in groups to a sports medicine specialist once every two weeks. These exercises include back and abdominal muscles , upper and lower limbs strengthening exercises ,and spinal posture correction. These exercises are given to patients in the form containing picture and description of exercises and a logbook for daily recording of the exercises performed. The exercises will be performed for 6 months  (which was increased to one year according to the covid 19 pandemic), which will be performed once every two weeks in the first 3 months, and will not come to the hospital in the next 9 months, and will be followed up by phone every month.

      <prim_outcome>Physical Fitness consist of muscle strength, mucsle endurance and balance. Timepoint: At the begining of the study, after 12 weeks and one year ( At the begining the duration of the follow up was 6 months but after covid 19 pandemic, sampling was incomplete and the time of final assessment was changed from 6 month to one year. According to ethnic principles and to avoid endangering patients to come to Rasool Akram Hospital, which is the center of Corona, final assessments were performed by video call at home and inevitably, unmeasurable variables at home were eliminated in the final evaluation.). Method of measurement: Muscle Strength by Dynamometer &amp; Weight Machine, Muscle Endurance by 6 MWT( 6 minute walk test), Balance by Berg Balance Scale. Senior Fitness Test to Strength, Flexibility, Agility, Cardiopulmonary Fitness, Dynamic Balance.</prim_outcome>
