Treatment and study plan

spinal stabilizaton exercise

Behavioral

In Exercise group, spinal stabilization exercise program was carried out 3 days a week for 8 weeks.

Primary outcomes

  1. Change in musculoskeletal pain intensity as measured by Visual Analog Scale

    Time frame: Change from baseline musculoskeletal pain intensity at 8 weeks

Secondary outcomes

  1. Change in trunk muscle endurance as measued with McGill's trunk muscle endurance tests

    Time frame: Change from baseline trunk muscle endurance at 8 weeks

  2. Change in postural stability as measured with Biodex Balance System SD

    Time frame: Change from baseline postural stability at 8 weeks
