Summary

The aims of this study are to examine the effectiveness of functional range conditioning in patients with chronic non-specific low back pain in terms of improving hip internal rotation and strength of the hip abductors, and reducing pain and disability.

Conditions

  • Chronic Low Back Pain

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

FRC exercise

The program will consist of hip joint controlled articular rotations (CARs) in standing position for 3 - 5 repetitions. Then, the participant will sit on the floor in what is called 90/90 position which is sitting in hip and flexion in 90 degrees for both the lead (front) and trail (side) leg. The participant will perform a Progressive and regressive angular isometric loadings (PAILs and RAILs) for the trail leg to increase the range of internal rotation, the contraction will be performed three times and the holding of the position will be for two minutes. After expanding the range, the participant will perform Progressive and regressive angular loadings (PALs and RALs) isometric contractions in form of a passive range hold for internal rotation and abduction, for 3 - 5 times.

BEHAVIORAL

Conventional Exercise

The conventional training program in this study will be the routine training for increasing the hip rotation. By screening the scientific literature, the conventional training found to consists of static stretching and strengthening using body weight and/or a band and the time of holding a stretch is about 30 seconds. For that the flexibility exercise will consist of progressive stretching from a prone position (leg fall in a stretch), the participant will perform 3 - 5 repetitions with 30 seconds hold or as tolerated. The strengthening exercise consists of hip abduction (hip opening) using a band or ankle weight from side lying for 10 - 12 repetitions 3 times.
