Six treatment sessions will be given over two weeks. Total duration of the treatment session may last from 40 - 60 minutes.
Muut nimet:
Six sessions of supervised Motor control exercises will be provided over the period of two weeks. Exercises will be provided in order to target the function of core muscles of the spine. Each participant in the SMCE group will be trained by a physical therapist to recruit the deep muscles of the spine and reduce the activity of superficial muscles. Initially participants will be taught how to contract the transversus abdominis and multifidus muscles in isolation from the more superficial trunk muscles, but in conjunction with the pelvic floor muscles. Pressure biofeedback will be used in order to provide feedback about muscle recruitment to the participant. Exercises will be provided to the participants in the progressive manner. Later, movement of limbs will be incorporated with the contraction of the core muscles. Finally, these core muscle activation will be emphasized during the functional activities.

Disability (Nepali version of Oswestry Disability Index (NODI)
Aikaikkuna: 2 weeks
|
Nepali version of Oswestry Disability Index (NODI) will be used to measure disability which is a cross culturally adapted and validated tool for measuring disability in low back pain population in Nepal.
The tool has acceptable reliability (Cronbach's Alpha= 0.723, intraclass correlation coefficient= 0.875)

Pain intensity (Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS)
Aikaikkuna: 2 weeks
|
Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) - An 11-point numeric pain rating scale ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst imaginable pain) will be used to assess current pain intensity and the best and worst level of pain during the last 24 hours.

Changes in pain and disability (Global Rating of Change (GROC)
Aikaikkuna: 2 weeks
|
Global Rating of Change (GROC) - The fifteen-point global rating scale will be used.
The scale ranges from -7 (a very great deal worse) to zero (about the same) to +7 (a very great deal better).
Intermittent descriptors of worsening or improving are assigned values from -1 to -6 and +1 to +6 respectively.
The global rating will be administered at the follow-up examinations only.

Fear avoidance (Fear avoidance belief questionnaire (FABQ)
Aikaikkuna: 6 months
|
Fear avoidance belief questionnaire (FABQ) - The FABQ is a 16-item scale that assesses the influence of fear avoidance behaviors on physical and work activities.
Each item is scored from 0-6 with possible scores ranging between 0-42 and higher scores representing increased fear-avoidance beliefs.

Pain Catastrophizing (Pain catastrophizing Scale (PCS)
Aikaikkuna: 6 months
|
Pain catastrophizing Scale (PCS) - Nepali translation of PCS is a 13-item scale that assesses the pain catastrophizing.
Pain catastrophizing is an exaggerated, negative focus on pain and is related to psychological distress, pain severity, and other negative outcomes in pain population.
Participants responded to each item using a Likert-type scale from 0 ('not at all') to 4 ('all the time').
