Detailed Description

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

Sample size calculation showed that our sample is 40. Forty patients with mechanical low back pain not referring beyond the knee will be recruited from Souad Kafafi Hospital and multiple outpatient clinics in Giza, Egypt. Inclusion criteria is male or female patients, 18-45 years, mechanical pain for the last 6 months, with no previous surgeries or diseases in the spine. Treatment strategy include 10 treatment sessions for each allocated subject. Core strengthening exercises and Feldenkrais method (balance exercises) are the treatment approached used in this study. Two experienced physical therapists will apply the treatment in the Faculty of Physical therapy clinic. Overall, mediolateral, and anteroposterior stability will be assessed for each patient. The measurement will be done twice pretreatment and immediately after the last session.
