| Abstract: | Background There are few effective strategies reported for the primary prevention of low back pain (LBP). Core stabilization exercises
targeting the deep abdominal and trunk musculature and psychosocial education programs addressing patient beliefs and coping
styles represent the current best evidence for secondary prevention of low back pain. However, these programs have not been
widely tested to determine if they are effective at preventing the primary onset and/or severity of LBP. The purpose of this
cluster randomized clinical trial is to determine if a combined core stabilization exercise and education program is effective
in preventing the onset and/or severity of LBP. The effect of the combined program will be compared to three other standard
programs. |
