Summary
This study tests a modified bird-dog exercise, called the Multifidus Lift, in 40 university students aged 18-25 with nonspecific low back pain. Participants do the exercise twice weekly for 6 weeks. Researchers measure back endurance, pain, and disability to see if this low-cost approach helps.
