Full description

The study aims to compare the effects of core strengthening versus motor control training on pain, disability & endurance in patients with low back pain.

Comparing core strength and conditioning versus motor control for low back pain on physical and self-report outcomes lies in identifying the most effective treatment approach for this condition. This will help to determine which one yields better results in terms of improving physical function and reducing self-reported pain and disability associated with low back pain. This study can provide valuable insights for clinicians and patients in selecting the most appropriate treatment option.
