Arms & Interventions
interactive video game
Participants in interactive video game group receive six 20-min sessions of hot pack therapy combined 20-min of diathermy therapy over the low back followed by 15-min interactive video game intervention, for 3 times per week for a 2-week duration.
Short- and medium-term therapeutic effects of interactive video game intervention for patients with chronic low back pain will be assessed.
Intervention: interactive video game (Other)
therapeutic exercise
Participants received six 20-min sessions of hot pack therapy combined 20-min of diathermy therapy over the low back followed by 15-min supervised therapeutic exercise,for 3 times per week for a 2-week duration.
short- and medium-term therapeutic effects of video game play therapy for patients with chronic low back pain will be evaluated.
Intervention: therapeutic exercise (Other)
