Brief Summary: Abstract<br /> Introduction: Low back pain (LBP) is one of the most common musculo-skeletal conditions mostly associated with urinary incontinence (UI) in middle aged women. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of stabilization exercises focusing on pelvic floor muscle (PFM) on LBP and UI in women suffering from chronic non-specific LBP.<br /> Methods: In a randomized clinical trial, 60 women with chronic non-specific LBP and stress UI ranging from 45 to 60 years old were recruited. They were randomly assigned to the control group (n = 30) which received routine physiotherapy modalities and regular exercises or the training group (n = 30) which received routine physiotherapy modalities and stabilization exercises focusing on PFM (12 weeks). Clinical characteristics of the study subjects including UI intensity and quality of life assessed by ICIQ-UI SF questionnaire, functional disability assessed by ODI scores, pain intensity, PFM strength, PFM endurance, and transverses abdominis (TrA) muscle strength were measured before and after treatment.<br /> Results: Functional disability and pain intensity were significantly decreased in control (p
