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
Interventions
the patients will receive lumbopelvic stabilization in the form of three parts: 1 Segmental control over primary stabilizers (mainly TrA, deep multifidus, pelvic floor and diaphragm) 2-Exercises in closed chain, with low velocity and low load 3-Exercises in open chain, with high velocity and load
OTHERpilates exercise
the patient will receive pilates exercise in the form of Breast stroke prep, Side leg lift series, One leg circle, Hundreds, Shoulder bridge, and Spine stretch forward
OTHERconventional therapy
Patients will received strengthening exercises for the abdominal, back, and hip muscles. The patients performed an average of three series of ten repetitions of each exercise. Increases in the number of exercises performed in each session (or load progression) occurred according to individual tolerance
