Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
This study aims to investigate whether a structured web application-based exercise program can improve outcomes for adults with NSLBP compared to traditional home exercises. The trial addresses gaps in current evidence regarding the effectiveness of telerehabilitation, patient engagement, and delivery modes, and seeks to determine if digital interventions can serve as a viable complement or alternative to conventional physiotherapy.

Web-Based Exercise Program
Participants complete an 8-week web-based exercise program via Physitrack. Sessions last 30-45 minutes, twice per week, focusing on core strengthening, spinal mobility, posture correction, and pain reduction. Exercises progress weekly from basic core engagement to advanced trunk control and integration.
Web-Based Therapeutic Exercise Program
Participants complete an 8-week web-based therapeutic exercise program via Physitrack, with 30-45 minute sessions twice weekly. The program targets core strengthening, spinal mobility, posture correction, and pain reduction. Exercises progress weekly from basic core engagement and breathing techniques to advanced trunk control, dynamic movements, and integration. The platform provides instructional videos, reminders, educational content, and self-monitoring tools to enhance adherence, engagement, and self-management.
Traditional Home Exercise Program
Participants complete a 6-week traditional home exercise program. Sessions last 30-40 minutes, focusing on flexibility, basic trunk and core strengthening, balance, and ergonomic practice. Exercises progress weekly, emphasizing pain relief, trunk mobility, and functional strength.
Traditional Home Exercise Program
Participants follow a 6-week traditional home exercise program with 30-40 minute sessions, twice weekly. The program focuses on flexibility, basic trunk and core strengthening, balance, and ergonomic practice. Exercises progress weekly, including cat-cow stretches, pelvic tilts, glute bridges, partial curl-ups, bird-dog, lunges, and posture training. Participants perform exercises independently at home using printed instructions, aiming to reduce pain, improve spinal mobility, and enhance functional outcomes.
