Abstract
Motor control exercises improve the deep spinal muscles (transverse abdominus, multifidus), whereas corestability involves global core muscle training. Few studies have examined the short-term effects of motor controland core stability on low back pain patients. This research compared motor control exercises to core stabilityexercises on pain and impairment in people with mechanical low back pain. 30 participants with non-specificmechanical low back pain were randomised into 2 groups of 15 each. Group A did motor control exercises,while Group B did core stability. Both groups did activities. Statistically significant improvement (p0.05) inpain and functional impairment was discovered using paired t-test and wilcoxon signed rank test. Comparativeinvestigation utilising independent t-test and Mann Whitney U test indicated significant difference in VAS andODI improvement across groups. Group-A improved VAS and ODI by 1.47 and 0.99 compared to Group B.
