Mediating muscle weakening to stabilize the trunk is an important aspect in the recovery of body function in patients with LBP \[Purpose\], this study was conducted to investigate the effect of core stability exercises combined with ball and balloon exercises on chronic non-specific low back pain. \[Subjects and Methods\] a sixty patient of chronic non-specific low back pain were randomly assigned into two groups, group (A) received core stability exercises combined with ball and balloon exercises and group (B) received core stability exercises, these exercises were performed for three times a week for four weeks. Pain was assessed by visual analogue scale (VAS). Spinal function was measured by Arabic Oswestery Disability Index (AODI) and pulmonary function was assessed by pulmonary function test including forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1), forced vital capacity (FVC), FEV1/FVC, maximum voluntary ventilation (MVV) and peak expiratory flow (PEF) before and after the study.Keywords: core stability exercises, ball and balloon exercises, chronic non-specific low back pain, conditionsModule conditions: Chronic Mechanical Low Back Pain, designModule studyType: INTERVENTIONAL, phases: NA, designInfo allocation: RANDOMIZED, interventionModel: PARALLEL, interventionModelDescription: This randomized controlled experimental trial was carried out at the outpatient clinic of faculty of physical therapy, Delta University for science and technology from April 2023 to October 2023. The aims of the study and the study protocol were explained for each patient before participation in the study. All patients signed an approved informed consent form for participation in this study. Before starting the treatment program, a complete history and physical examination will be taken for all patients.Subjects:Seventy male and female physiotherapy students have chronic non-specific low back pain will be chosen from faculty of physical therapy, delta university for science and technology.The local ethics committee approved this study (Delta University for science and technology, faculty of Physical Therapy, Ethics committee F.P.T 2307017)., primaryPurpose: TREATMENT, maskingInfo masking: TRIPLE, maskingDescription: the participants were selected randomly without their knowledge about in experimental or control group the assessor was for assessment only and the therapist was for treatment only, whoMasked: PARTICIPANT, whoMasked: CARE_PROVIDER, whoMasked: INVESTIGATOR, enrollmentInfo count: 60, type: ACTUAL, armsInterventionsModule interventions name: therapeutic exercises, interventions name: exercises, outcomesModule primaryOutcomes measure: visual analogue score, secondaryOutcomes measure: forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1) in liters, secondaryOutcomes measure: forced vital capacity (FVC) in liters, secondaryOutcomes measure: FVC/FEV1 ratio, secondaryOutcomes measure: maximum voluntary ventilation (MVV), secondaryOutcomes measure: peak expiratory flow (PEF) in liter/min, otherOutcomes measure: Arabic Oswestery Disability Index (AODI) for functional assessment, otherOutcomes measure: weight, otherOutcomes measure: age, otherOutcomes measure: height, eligibilityModule sex: ALL, minimumAge: 18 Years, maximumAge: 25 Years, stdAges: ADULT, contactsLocationsModule locations facility: Delta University For Science and Technology, city: Al Manşūrah, state: Gamasah, zip: 11152, country: Egypt, geoPoint lat: 31.03637, lon: 31.38069, hasResults: False
