- Brief Summary
In this randomized clinical trial, chronic non-specific low back pain patients will be randomly allocated in to task specific core stability exercises and conventional core stability exercises group. Outcome measures such as intensity of pain, functional disability , pulmonary function and core muscle activity will be evaluated at baseline and at 6 weeks of intervention. Finally the data will be compared to find the effect in both the group.
