This study will be conducted to comapre between kinetic control training versus core stability exercises on proprioception and spatiotemporal gait parameters in chronic non-specific low back pain.
Chronic nonspecific low back pain (CNSLBP) represents a significant public health problem and an economic burden to employers. It has become one of the most common problems in industrialized societies; it can affect 80% of people and has become the most common cause of functional limitation in individuals younger than 35 years. Neuromuscular impairments and deficits are a primary contributor to the inception and chronicity of Low back pain with the psychological and social competes. Specific-oriented retraining has a major effect in modulating biopsychosocial competes severity and peculiarity and crucial for controlling chronic Low back pain. Interventions targeting neuromuscular impairments of the movement system are the most promising movement control concepts in these Low back pain treatment approaches.Kinetic Control Training (KCT), which focuses on movement control and muscle coordination, has emerged as a potential intervention for addressing the underlying motor control deficits associated with CNSLBP. Exercises in managing CNSLBP. For instance, a randomized controlled trial demonstrated that core stability training significantly improved back muscle strength and reduced pain intensity in young adults with chronic non-specific low back pain. To the best of authors' knowledge, the effect of kinetic control versus core stability training on the spatiotemporal parameters of the gait has not been investigated yet. So this study will be conducted to investigate this point.

Each patient in the group will be received kinetic control retraining with conventional physical therapy. For each movement direction, specific control tests will be conducted. The direction and site of the uncontrolled movement will be evaluated using special tests in accordance with the pain history of the patient.
Core stability exercises include curl up (head and shoulders lifting), bridging exercise with leg elevation, and quadruped with arm and leg lift will be performed with maintaining the lumbar spine neutral. each patient in that group will be received core stability exercises with conventional physical therapy,
lumber repositioning error (lumbar proprioception)
The iPhone® application will be used to assess lumbar repositioning error. It will be placed vertically, halfway between the anterior superior and PSIS, just above the iliac crest, and fastened with a belt. The initial location and the inclination of the inclinometer were both fixed at 0°. There was a 0 to 30° range of motion (ROM). The assessor gently guided the individual to a 30° flexion and instructed them to hold this posture for ten seconds. After then, the participant actively went back to their starting location and subsequently did it three times.
Time frame: up to 8 weeks
pain intensity
visual analogue scale will be used to assess pain intensity.t consists of a 100-mm line with descriptive anchors representing extremes at each end, such as "no pain" and "worst pain imaginable.
Time frame: up to 8 weeks
gait speed
Using Kinovea (an open-source software) (version 0.9.5), a freeware motion analysis software will be used to retrieve all of the videos from the Sony Video camera. normal, healthy gait speed for adults is generally between 1.0 m/s to 1.5 m/s.
Time frame: up to eight weeks
cadence
Cadence in gait is the rate at which steps are taken during locomotion, measured as steps per minute.Using Kinovea (an open-source software) (version 0.9.5), a freeware motion analysis software will be used to retrieve all of the videos from the Sony Video camera. A healthy adult's normal walking cadence typically ranges between 100 to 120 steps per minute.
Time frame: up to eight weeks
stride and step time
Stride time is the total time taken to complete one full gait cycle. Step time is the time it takes to complete a single step.Using Kinovea (an open-source software) (version 0.9.5), a freeware motion analysis software will be used to retrieve all of the videos from the Sony Video camera. Normal walking gait for a healthy adult at a comfortable pace typically features a stride time of about 1.15 seconds and a step time of about 0.5 to 0.6 seconds

stride and step length
Step length is the distance between the placement of one foot and the next placement of the opposite foot. Stride length, conversely, covers the distance of two consecutive steps. Using Kinovea (an open-source software) (version 0.9.5), a freeware motion analysis software will be used to retrieve all of the videos from the Sony Video camera. A normal walking step length 58 to 76 cm. A stride length averaging 52 to 60 inches.
Time frame: up to eight weeks
COG vertical displacement
Vertical displacement of the Center of Gravity (CoG) typically refers to the rhythmic, up-and-down movement of the body's mass center during the human gait cycle. In a normal walking step, this vertical movement ranges to about 5 cm, helping conserve overall energy and maintain smooth motion.Using Kinovea (an open-source software) (version 0.9.5), a freeware motion analysis software will be used to retrieve all of the videos from the Sony Video camera.

life disability
The WHOQOL-BREF will be used to assess life disability. it is a 26-item survey evaluating Quality of Life (QoL) across four domains: Physical, Psychological, Social Relationships, and Environment. Higher scores in each domain indicate a better perception of QoL
