Detailed Description

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.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
intensity of low back pain
Time Frame: 1 month
we will assess intensity of low back pain by using visual analogue scale
1 month

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
back muscle endurance
Time Frame: 1 month
assess back muscle endurance by using Sorensen test
1 month
level of function (disability) associated with mechanical Low Back Pain
Time Frame: 1 month
the Arabic version of Oswestry Disability Index will be used to determine the level of function associated with mechanical Low Back Pain
1 month
Fatigue Severity
Time Frame: 1 month
The Arabic version of The Fatigue Severity Scale will be used to measure fatigue in people with mechanical Low Back Pain
1 month
psycho-social factors at work
Time Frame: 1 month
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.
