General Exercises With and Without TA Contraction in Patients With Nonspecific Acute LBP
Low Back Pain
About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Low Back Pain
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria: Individuals of both sexes Aged between 18 and 50 years Acute nonspecific low back pain according to The most recent guidelines for the diagnosis and management of NSLBP come from the American College of Physicians and were published in 2017. According to these guidelines, the diagnosis of acute NSLBP should be made based on the following criteria: Acute onset of low back pain, defined as pain lasting for less than 12 weeks No specific identifiable cause of the pain (e.g., infection, malignancy, fracture, inflammatory disorder) No radicular symptoms (e.g., pain radiating down the leg) No significant neurological deficits or findings on physical examination (e.g., loss of reflexes or muscle strength) Exclusion Criteria: Serious low back pathology Contraindications to exercise therapy Neurological signs (leg weakness) Specific spinal pathology (e.g., malignancy, or inflammatory joint or bone disease) Prior back surgery

General Exercises
General exercises with TA contraction
This exercise activates paravertebral and abdominal muscles. Because this exercise impose extra loading on the spinal tissues, the general exercise was selected on the basis of maximizing the contraction benefit/spinal loading ratio.
