Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to examines the effectiveness of Core stabilization exercise on pain intensity at rest, functional disability, lumbar movement and ability to perform repositioning tasks (joint position sense) in patients with subacute non-specific low back pain.
Detailed Description
This study is to compare the effectiveness of Core stabilization exercise and physical therapy on pain intensity at rest, functional disability, lumbar movement and ability to perform repositioning tasks (joint position sense) in patients with subacute non-specific low back pain. There are 2 groups receiving 2 different kinds of intervention: treatment group receiving core stabilization exercise (CSE) and control group receiving physical therapy including therapeutic ultrasound and hydrocollator pack. Each intervention will perform for 7 weeks. The patients will assess for all outcome measures at baseline, 7 weeks of intervention, and 1- month follow-up

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- •Onset of back pain within 6 -12 weeks participants had no history of back pain for a period of 6 months prior to the current episode.
- •Pain intensity measure by a numerical rating scale (0-10 NRS) and a score of pain at least 3 out of
- •Never receive the treatment by core stabilization exercise (CSE) during 3 months before participate in this study.
Exclusion Criteria
- •Pregnancy
- •Onset of serious spinal pathology: spinal fracture, spinal tumor or spinal infection.
- •Cauda equina syndrome.
- •Presented at least 2 out of 3 signs of neurological deficit
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Change From Baseline in Pain on 11- Point Numerical Rating Scale at Week 7
Time Frame: baseline an week 7
The 11 point numerical rating scale (11-NRS) is a method to measure pain intensity. The zero represents no pain while 10 represent the worst imaginable pain.The patient is asked to cross or circle a score that the best represents the pain intensity. Change = (week 7 score - baseline score)
Secondary Outcomes
- Change From Baseline in Functional Disability on Roland-Morris Disability Questionnaire at Week 7(baseline and week 7)
- Change From Baseline in Back Range of Motion (Flexion) on Modified-modified Schober's Test at Week 7(baseline and week 7)
- Change From Baseline in Repositioning Error on Repositioning Test at Week 7(baseline and week 7)
