Brief Summary

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

This study is an observational test-retest study designed to investigate the effect of gender on core strength, balance, spinal mobility, and hamstring flexibility in patients with chronic non-specific low back pain (NS-LBP).

Detailed Description

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

Low back pain (LBP) is the primary contributor to years of disability. Individual features (age, physical fitness), psychosocial factors (stress, anxiety, and depression), and occupational factors (hard physical work, bending and twisting motions, and vibration) have all been linked to the development of LBP, which is thought to have a complex etiology.
