Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Non specific chronic low back pain. Timepoint: 8 weeks before and after the intervention. Method of measurement: pain rating scale( Visual Analogue Scale).	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
2 dimensional kinematics. Timepoint: 8 weeks before and after the intervention. Method of measurement: Assessment of the movement of rising up from chair by using kinovea software.;Proprioception. Timepoint: 8 weeks before and after the intervention. Method of measurement: the lumbar angle active reconstruction test.;Hamstring flexibility. Timepoint: 8 weeks before and after the intervention. Method of measurement: Using passive knee extension test.;Movement control. Timepoint: 8 weeks before and after the intervention. Method of measurement: movement control test( luomajoki test).	—
