Summary
This study tested whether combining two types of exercises—McKenzie extension exercises and motor control exercises—could help people aged 45 to 70 with chronic low back pain. Fifty-four participants were assigned to one of three groups: McKenzie exercises alone, motor control exercises alone, or a combination of both. Researchers measured pain intensity, trunk muscle endurance, spinal range of motion, and disability levels to see which approach worked best.
