Brief Summary

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

investigate the effect of bio-mechanical awareness and core stability exercises on mechanical low back pain among Egyptian Physiotherapists

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The aims of this study are:

1. to investigate the effect of bio-mechanical awareness and core stability exercises on the intensity of low back pain among Egyptian Physiotherapists.
2. to investigate the effect of bio-mechanical awareness and core stability exercises on and back muscle endurance among Egyptian Physiotherapists.
3. to investigate the effect of bio-mechanical awareness and core stability exercises on level of function (disability) associated with low back pain among Egyptian Physiotherapists.
4. to investigate the effect of bio-mechanical awareness and core stability exercises on fatigue among Egyptian Physiotherapists.
5. to investigate the effect of bio-mechanical awareness and core stability exercises on psycho-social factors at work among Egyptian Physiotherapists.

Study Design

Understand how the trial is structured, including allocation methods, masking strategies, primary purpose, and other design elements.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

Physiotherapists will be randomly subdivided into two equal groups in number. Group (A) (Experimental Group): This group will receive biomechanical awareness advices while working and core stability exercises.

Group (B) (Control Group): This group will receive core stability exercises only.
