Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to determine if a 4 month resistance exercise program reduces the severity of low back pain, pain-related fear avoidance and improves mobility compared to standard care.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Standard care

Subjects will receive normal medical care and follow up during the four month study period if assigned to this group.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

normal medical care and follow up

Intervention Type OTHER

physical activity/ nutrition guidelines will be provided and reviewed with the participant as part of standard care; telephone contact will be made weekly to encourage adherence to the health guidelines

Isolated Lumbar Resistance Exercise Program

Lumbar extension exercise protocol to increase strength and reduce pain.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Isolated Lumbar Resistance Exercise Program

Intervention Type OTHER

lumbar extension, two set of 10-15 repetitions, once a week for two weeks; lumbar extension, one set of 10-15 repetitions, three times a week, week 3 to 4 months

Total Body Resistance Exercise Program

Training protocol for 1 set for each exercise: leg press, leg curl, leg extension, chest press, seated row, overhead press, triceps dip, biceps curl, calf press and abdominal curl

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Total Body Resistance Exercise Program

Intervention Type OTHER

exercises: leg press, leg curl, leg extension, chest press, seated row, overhead press, triceps dip, biceps curl, calf press and abdominal curl, one set of 10-12 repetitions, three time per week, week one to 4 months
