Eligibility

Sex/Gender

All

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: - Age from 20–30 years (Bhadauria et al., 2017) - Patients with chronic nonspecific LBP (more than12 weeks) - Pain in the lumbar and/or buttock region (defined as pain reported below the level of T12 and no lower than the buttock line) - Patients willing and able to participate in an exercise program safely and without cognitive impairments that would limit their participation.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: - Signs of serious spinal pathology (red flags) including significant trauma, unexplained weight loss and widespread neurologic changes - Any vestibular, visual or neurological dysfunction affecting balance. - Current radiating symptoms (and/or neurological deficit) below the level of the buttock crease - Current pregnancy or breastfeeding - History of spinal surgery, fracture or malignancy - Specific LBP, defined as herniated disc, ankylosing spondylitis, spondylolisthesis or other relevant - Presence of severe postural abnormality or neuromuscular disorder, previous diagnosis of pathology (confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging or radiograph).

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Biodex gait trainer 2 TM system (Model 950-380, software version 2.6x, New York) was used to measure spatiotemporal gait parameters. It is a special treadmill designed to monitor and record step length, step speed and right-to-left time distribution (step symmetry).	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
pain The visual analog scale (VAS) is the VAS, which consists of a line, usually 10 cm long, ranging from no pain or discomfort (zero) , to the worst pain that could possibly feel (10) ;Modified Oswestry Disability Questionnaire. A well validated, self-reported questionnaire designed for low back containing 10 sections was used to assess the level of disability. Each item is scored from 0 to 5, with higher values representing greater disability. The total score is multiplied by 2 and expressed as a percentage. ;Sorensen test (low back fatigue test). The test, as described by Biering Sorensen involves measuring how many seconds the subject is able to keep the unsupported upper body (from the upper border of the iliac crest) horizontal, while placed prone with the buttocks and legs fixed to the couch by three wide canvas straps and the arms folded across the chest. ;5. Trunk flexion endurance test To measure abdominal muscle endurance, the subjects were placed in a sitting position with flexed knees so that the legs were on the bed and firmly fixed to the bed by a belt. Then, a board with angles of 55 ° relative to the bed was placed behind the subjects and the subject while his hands were on his chest in cross position, flexed his trunk close to the board and kept the position. When the subject lose endurance and touch the board, his time were over and recorded in registration form of the pre-test and post-test . The knee and hip of the subjects were in flexion position of 90 °, and the arms in cross position in front of the chest, and hands on shoulders. An assistant fixed legs in order to keep the position	—
