The design of the 4-
week PNF training sessions will modified from the study of Areeudomwong (2017). The participants will be asked to attend the Physical Therapy Laboratory for training sessions 3 times a week for 4 week
with each session lasting about 30-
45 minutes. Participants undertake 3 sets of 15 repetitions of each PNF intervention with rest intervals of 30 seconds between the sets,
and 60 seconds provided after completing 15 repetitions for each movement pattern. The programme will be divided into 2 phases.
The first phase (Alternating isometric contraction and rhythmic stabili
focuses on teaching the patient to be able to correctly alternate isometric contractions of trunk in flexion and extension against maximum resistance provided by the physical therapist while in a sitt

facilitate trunk muscle activity in various movement directions including sagittal,
spiral and diagonal planes.,Core stabilization exercise is designed for improving the performances of stabilizing muscle of the trunk,
especially lumbar multifidus and transversus abdominis muscles. There are eight exercises within this intervention such as activating exercises for lumbar multifidus and transversus abdominis,
bridging exercise,
and bird dog exercise. The participants will perform the exercise for 3 times a week through 4 weeks,
45 minutes. Participants undertake 3 sets of 15 repetitions of each core stabilization exercise intervention with rest intervals of 30 seconds between the set.,The participants will receive two physic
