Mcgill Core Stabilization Exercises VS Sahrmann Core Control Protocol on Pain and Functional Disability in Patients With NSCLBP

Non‐specific chronic low back pain (NSCLBP) is a common musculoskeletal conditionassociated with persistent pain, functional disability, reduced physical activity andimpaired quality of life. The thesis explains that impaired core stability, poorneuromuscular control, muscle imbalance and faulty movement patterns can contribute topersistent low back pain. Exercise‐based rehabilitation is therefore an importantcomponent of conservative management.The study was designed as a randomized clinical trial conducted in an orthopedic andphysiotherapy clinic. The study population consisted of males and females with NSCLBP.Participants were divided into two treatment groups: Group A received McGill CoreStabilization Exercises, consisting of modified curl‐up, side plank and bird‐dogexercises, while Group B received the Sahrmann Core Control Protocol, consisting ofprogressive core‐control exercises from Level 1 to Level 5.The primary outcome measures were the Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) for pain intensityand the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) for functional disability. Assessments wereperformed before and after the rehabilitation intervention.this study aims advantage toits individualized, movement‐specific approach and emphasis on correcting faulty movementpatterns and improving neuromuscular control.
