Summary

Low back pain is one of the most common conditions for which patients are sent to physiotherapy clinics. 84% of people have experienced it at least once in their lifetime, and over 50% have experienced it more than once, according to research. However, diagnosis and, in particular, the provision of specialized back pain therapy remain difficult.

With the lumbopelvic region being maintained in the neutral position, the participant will be instructed to draw in the abdomen, lower two contra lateral limbs (opposite arm and leg) toward the floor, hold for the stipulated time, then return to starting position. The same movement will be repeated with the opposite limbs. In the DBG, both pairs of limbs will be moved an equal number of times withinthe stipulated time. The patients in both groups will perform the corresponding exercises 3 days a week for a period of 3 weeks and a rest interval of 2 minutes between exercises along with conventional physiotherapy exercises.
