A Study to Compare the Effectiveness of Feldenkrais Exercise Versus Pilates Exercise on Functional Disability and Core Muscle Endurance in Subjects With Nonspecific Chronic Low Back Pain

Low back pain is the most common health problem and has a huge impact on adults. Worldwide LBP is the problem that causes a greater number of years of disability. It leads to loss of functionality and affects ADL activities and Quality of life. The prevalence of LBP is more in undergraduate students of medical college in the age group of 18 to 25. The sample of 30 students with Non-specific chronic LBP was selected based on inclusion criteria, they were divided into group A (15), and group B (15), and these groups trained with specific training exercises for 6 weeks. After the training for 6 weeks, postassessment was done using QBPDS and McGill endurance test. The statistical analysis done by using unpaired 't' test with the values of Group A and Group B shows the significance of (p<0.05). Between the group analysis of the post values shows in the Group B is significant than Group A. After the statistical analysis, it shows that there is an improvement in core muscle endurance and functional disability in Group B (Pilates exercise) than Group A (Feldenkrais exercise) which shows that Group B is more significant than Group A.
