study group	clamshell exercise	Abdominal bracing and clamshell exercise
control group	Abdominal bracing	Abdominal bracing

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
lumbopelvic range of motion	change in the lumbopelvic instability degree will be measured at baseline and after 6 weeks of the interventions	Degree of lumbopelvic range of motion will be measured by goniometer
Change in the degree of lumbopelvic instability	change in the lumbopelvic instability degree will be measured at baseline and after 6 weeks of the interventions	Change in the degree of lumbopelvic instability will be measured by specific tests(The dip test, the runner pose test and the single leg squat test) and the pateint performance will be graded as poor or good

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
severity of pain intensity	change in the lumbopelvic instability will be measured at baseline and after 6 weeks of the interventions	change in low back pain intensity will be measured using visual analogue scale(VAS); low back pain intensity
the degree of function disability	change in the lumbopelvic instability will be measured at baseline and after 6 weeks of the interventions	the change in the degree of function disability will be measured by Oswestry disability index (ODI)
