Conditions

chronic low back pain (Those who have chronic low back pain at least 3 months) &#45

Interventions

The exercise programs of low&#45
load exercise group were focused on transverse abdominal muscle and lumbar spine multifidus facilitation. Then trunk and extremity dissociated movement training and spine segmental control. Try to mov
consciously. There are totally 7 flexion movement control test. After assess the movement control impairment of each patient the experimenter will pick 1~2 movement control test for patient to learn d
experimenter will use subject&#39
s record device to record the correct movement control in each subject in purpose to they could training correctly in home program. Each movement test train in home for 2 minutes and 2~3 times a day.
load exercise group also underlined TrA and MF facilitation. Then maintain the neutral position in lumbar spine during the sumo&#45
deadlift process. Each subject will retest their 1 repetition maximum (RM) every two weeks after intervention. In the early stage of intervention we set at 30%~40% of 1 RM for each subject&#39
s training weight and as the case might be 60%~70% of 1 RM from middle stage of intervention. Each session of lifting would be 8~10 repetitions and 3 bouts. A three minutes brake between each bout. Li
up would be set at 20% of 1 RM for 5~10 repetitions. The intervention will take for a period of six weeks totally 12 session and thirty minute per session. There are five grades for high&#45
load exercise group home program. Grade 1 Bilateral shoulder lift
