Overview

investigate the effect of bio-mechanical awareness and core stability exercises on mechanical low back pain among Egyptian Physiotherapists

The aims of this study are: 1. to investigate the effect of bio-mechanical awareness and core stability exercises on the intensity of low back pain among Egyptian Physiotherapists. 2. to investigate the effect of bio-mechanical awareness and core stability exercises on and back muscle endurance among Egyptian Physiotherapists. 3. to investigate the effect of bio-mechanical awareness and core stability exercises on level of function (disability) associated with low back pain among Egyptian Physiotherapists. 4. to investigate the effect of bio-mechanical awareness and core stability exercises on fatigue among Egyptian Physiotherapists. 5. to investigate the effect of bio-mechanical awareness and core stability exercises on psycho-social factors at work among Egyptian Physiotherapists.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

intensity of low back pain

we will assess intensity of low back pain by using visual analogue scale

Time frame: 1 month

Secondary Outcomes

back muscle endurance

assess back muscle endurance by using Sorensen test

Time frame: 1 month

level of function (disability) associated with mechanical Low Back Pain

the Arabic version of Oswestry Disability Index will be used to determine the level of function associated with mechanical Low Back Pain

Time frame: 1 month

Fatigue Severity

The Arabic version of The Fatigue Severity Scale will be used to measure fatigue in people with mechanical Low Back Pain

Time frame: 1 month

psycho-social factors at work

The English version of The Brief Job Stress Questionnaire which is valid in the measurement of psycho-social factors at work and this Questionnaire can be one of the methodological tools to explore the mechanisms between job stress and several work-related disorders and can provide hints of intervention.

Time frame: 1 month
