Summary:
Mechanical low back pain arises intrinsically from the spine, intervertebral disc,or surrounding soft tissues.It is causes by muscular spasm, and other soft tissue injuries. The aim of the study will be to compare the effect of Egoscue versus Pilates exercises on pain, range of motion and muscle endurance in patient with mechanical low back pain.

Primary Outcome Measures: Numeric pain rating scale (NPRS), Changes from base Line Numeric Pain rating scale is a scale for pain starting from 0-10. where 0 indicate no pain and 10 indicate severe pain.The Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) is a subjective measure in which individuals rate their pain on an eleven-point numerical scale. The scale is composed of 0 (no pain at all) to 10 (worst imaginable pain)., upto 4 weeks|Muscle flexibility (Finger to floor test), * The patient is asked to bend forward and attempt to reach for the floor with their fingertips.
* The physical therapist then measures the distance between the patient's right long finger and the floor using a standard measuring tape
* Ask the client whether pain, stiffness or both limit the movement(Fingertips to floor (FTF) test).
* If the FTF test is limited by pain, the location and pain score out of 10 should be documented.
* If the FTF test is 0cm or the patient is able to place their palms to the floor with no pain, a different outcome measure should be considered., upto 4 weeks|Trunk Flexor Endurance Test, The flexor endurance test is the first in the battery of three tests that assesses muscular endurance of the deep core muscles (i.e., transverse abdominis, quadratus lumborum, and erector spinae). It is a timed test involving a static, isometric contraction of the anterior muscles, stabilizing the spine until the individual exhibits fatigue and can no longer hold the assumed position., upto 4 weeks|Trunk Lateral Endurance Test, The trunk lateral endurance test, also called the side-bridge test, assesses muscular endurance of the lateral core muscles (i.e., transverse abdominis, obliques, quadratus lumborum, and erector spinae). Similar to the trunk flexor endurance test, this timed test involves static, isometric contractions of the lateral muscles on each side of the trunk that stabilize the spine., upto 4 weeks|Trunk Extensor Endurance Test, The trunk extensor endurance test is generally used to assess muscular endurance of the torso extensor muscles (i.e., erector spinae, longissimus, iliocostalis, and multifidi). This is a timed test involving a static, isometric contraction of the trunk extensor muscles that stabilize the spine., upto 4 weeks|universal goniometer, The purpose of goniometry is to measure the joint angle or range of motion. It is assumed that the angle created by aligning the arms of a universal goniometer with bony landmarks truly represents the angle created by the proximal and distal bones composing the joint., upt0 4 weeks
