Summary
This study looks at whether matching people with chronic low back pain to specific exercises—graded activity or motor control exercises—based on a questionnaire leads to better results. Researchers will compare the two exercise types in 425 adults to see if personalized matching reduces pain and disability more effectively. The goal is to make exercise therapy more effective and reduce healthcare costs.
