This study will compare the effects of 2 exercise programs including core stabilization exercise and general trunk strengthening exercise programs on trunk muscle activity, physical dysfunction, quality of life and lumbar motion in low back pain patient with clinical lumbar instability.
Clinical lumbar instability is the one of causes of chronic low back pain, that affects to pain intensity and quality of life. For clinical studies using core stabilization exercise (CSE) as treatment have revealed conflicting findings on pain, functional disability and muscle responses in chronic low back pain. The CSE promotes local muscle system that to provide lumbar stability. However, the stability of spine related to global muscle system, that using in this study.

Effect of 2-exercise on quality of life
health-related quality of life was measured by using SF-36 questionnaire
Time frame: Change from baseline at 10-week after training session, and follow up session
Effect of 2-exercise on physical disability
Physical disability was measured by using Oswestry disability index
Time frame: Change from baseline at 10-week after training session, and follow up session
Effect of 2-exercise on trunk muscle activity
Trunk muscle activity was measured by using surface EMG
Time frame: Change from baseline at 10-week after training session, and follow up session
Effect of 2-exercise on lumbar segmental motion
Lumbar segmental motion was measured by using radiography
Time frame: Change from baseline at 10-week after training session, and follow up session
Effect of 2-exercise on pain intensity
Pain intensity was measured by using numeric rating scale
Time frame: Change from baseline at 10-week after training session, and follow up session
