Lumbopelvic Stabilization Versus Pilates Exercises On Gait Phases And Peak Pressure On Foot In Low Back Pain

Not Applicable
Conditions
Low Back Pain
Interventions
Other: pilates exercise
Other: lumbopelvic stabilization exercises
Other: conventional therapy
Registration Number
NCT04942782
Lead Sponsor
Cairo University
Brief Summary

the purpose of this trial is to investigate and compare between lumbopelvic stabilization and pilates exercises on gait cycle phases and maximum peak pressure on the foot in chronic nonspecific low back pain?

Detailed Description

LBP is the leading cause of activity limitation, results in significant losses in productivity at work, and incurs billions of dollars in medical expenditure annually So, the aim of physical therapy treatment in the patient with chronic nonspecific low back pain is more effective in improving gait cycle phases and maximum peak pressure on the foot and help LBP patients to walk normally as much as possible, also this will improve our body of knowledge about the best modalities for treating LBP. The finding of this study may help LBP patients avoid exposure to complications due to altered gait cycle phases and maximum peak pressure on the foot. Also, it will help physiotherapists to know which treatment will be effective in improving gait cycle phases and maximum peak pressure on the foot. one hundred patients with mechanical low back pain will be allocated randomly to three groups; group A will receive pilates, group B will receive lumbopelvic stabilization exercise and group C will receive strengthening exercises for the abdominals, back, and hip muscles

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
gait cycle phases and maximum peak pressure on footup to twelve weeks

gait cycle phases and peak pressure will be measure by Tekscan walkway

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
pain intensityup to twelve weeks

visual analogue scale will be used for measuring pain level

disabilityup to twelve weeks

Functional disability of each patient was assessed by Modified Oswestry Disability Questionnaire

muscle enduranceup to twelve weeks

Sorensen test (low back fatigue test) and Trunk flexion endurance test will be used for measuring the level of endurance
