Summary

This study compares two ways to do core stabilization exercises for chronic low back pain: one group does them at home using a virtual reality app with video calls, while the other group does them in person at a clinic. Both groups also get educational materials. The goal is to see if the virtual reality approach works just as well for reducing pain and improving daily function. The study involves 80 adults aged 20-60 with non-specific low back pain lasting over 3 months.
