Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
1. What are the effect of the training on the participant's movement quality and balance.
2. What are the difference between different types of trunk muscle training on people with CLBP.
Researchers will compare SE, ITE and control. Control group will receive back school education that was shown not to be effective in reducing pain and disability.
Participants will:
1. Do home and in-lab based SE or ITE training, or maintain active daily living over 2 months.
2. Complete the pain and disability questionnaire and do several physical functioning tests while having their trunk and lower limb movement and muscle activation measured.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Structural Exercise
Single armed dumbbell row, push up and single legged deadlift exercises, done three times per week for eight weeks
Structural Exercise
Multi-joint limb movement with force vector through the spine. The spine is held at neutral position
Isolated Trunk Exercise
Plank, side bridge, and bird dog isometric holds, done three times per week over eight weeks training
Isolated Trunk Exercise
Holding the spine in neutral position with no limb movement, with static loading through the spine
Control
Back school education where participants are taught about healthy seating position, how to carry loads, and maintaining an active daily lifestyle.
Back school
Patient education that has been proven to not be effective and has been used as control in past low back pain intervention studies
