简要总结
Non-specific low back pain (NSLBP) is a prevalent musculoskeletal disorder. (Maher et al., 2017). Globally, 60%-80% of adults' experience low back pain, with 10% developing chronic forms, of which 85% are classified as chronic nonspecific low back pain without a clear etiology. (Alsufiany et al.,2020)..Despite various treatment modalities, a significant number of individuals continue to experience pain, functional limitations, and psychological distress such as kinesiophobia.

Non-specific low back pain (NSLBP) is a prevalent musculoskeletal disorder. (Maher et al., 2017). Globally, 60%-80% of adults' experience low back pain, with 10% developing chronic forms, of which 85% are classified as chronic nonspecific low back pain without a clear etiology. (Alsufiany et al.,2020)..Despite various treatment modalities, a significant number of individuals continue to experience pain, functional limitations, and psychological distress such as kinesiophobia.
Various strategies are employed to help improve range of motion, alleviate pain, and enhance the overall quality of life for individuals dealing with lower back pain (LBP). These strategies encompass therapeutic exercises, manual therapy techniques, educating patients on lifestyle modifications, managing medications, and utilizing modalities like cryotherapy, heat therapy, ultrasound, and electrical stimulation. (Rulewska et al., 2025). So, Physical therapies and exercises, psychological and social support, reducing strain during physical work, and lifestyle changes are commonly practiced to manage non-specific chronic low back pain (NSCLBP).

- •Exclusion Criteria:
研究组 & 干预措施
group A: traditional physiotherapy
hot back, TENS, stretching exercise for Hamstring, Hip flexors, Back extensors and strengthening ex for back extensors and abdominal muscles each exercise.
干预措施: group A (Other)
group C: receive traditional physiotherapy plus core stability exercise.
Traditional core exercises focused on deep trunk muscles, 3 sessions per week for 4 weeks, under therapist supervision.
It includes both isotonic and isometric core ex, During the ISOM exercises, patients were instructed to hold the contraction for 8 to 15 seconds, followed by a 5-second rest between each of the 4 sets, The ISOT exercises were performed in 4 sets, with 6 to 12 repetitions in each set. Additionally, a 1-minute rest was applied between each movement. (Khaled et al., 2024).
干预措施: Group C (Other)
group B: receive traditional physiotherapy plus virtual reality.
Participants will engage in VR rehabilitation sessions, 3 sessions per week for 4 weeks using interactive balance and movement-based VR programs, the patient will performe the exercises using VR video gaming, two games were selected, one for each exercise set: Epic roller coaster and Fit x. In addition to being enjoyable for most of the participants, both games require frequent head motions and quick direction changes which facilitate activation of the core muscles. (Abdelraoufet al., 2020)
干预措施: Group B (Other)
