Summary

Low back pain, postural dysfunction, loss of balance control and stability are musculoskeletal changes that occur over life span due to aging process and are inevitable. Core stability exercises are an effective means to counteract these changes.The study was executed with initially n=35 subjects selected as per proposal, but only n=24 subjects completed the study with n=14 in experimental group and n=10 in control group. Experimental group received core stability exercises and control group received conventional physical therapy treatment for 12 weeks. Baseline assessment was done, then at 6 week and again at end of intervention.Following outcome measures were used in study Numeric pain rating scale (NPRS), Utain quality of life (UQOL), Oswestry disability index (ODI), manual muscle testing (MMT) flexion and extension. Data was analysed using Statistical package for social sciences SPSS- 21.
