Brief Summary:
The aim of this study is to investigate if six-weeks of exercise intervention, 3 times per week on the Functional Re-adaptive Exercise Device (FRED) reduces non-specific mechanical low back pain in adults ages 18-60.
Detailed Description:
The aim of this study is to investigate whether an six-week FRED exercise intervention reduces low back pain (LBP) and improves a range of related outcomes.
The objectives of this study are to examine
1. whether FRED exercise reduces mechanical LBP ( low back pain);
2. whether FRED exercise improves functional and static balance in people with LBP;
3. whether FRED exercise has an effect on cross-sectional area (CSA) of relevant lumbo-pelvic muscles;
4. whether FRED exercise has an effect on TrA (Transversus Abdominis), LM ( Lumbar Multifidus), lumbar Erector Spinae, External and Internal Oblique muscle activity and function in individuals with LBP;
5. whether FRED exercise has an effect on TrA and internal oblique muscle thickness;
6. the rate of muscle physiology change in response to FRED exercise in people with LBP;
7. whether FRED exercise affects the analgesic intake, need for intervention and physical activity level of individuals with LBP;
8. whether FRED exercise affects wellbeing and every-day function in people with LBP;
9. the rate of change of level of pain, wellbeing and of function (incl. balance) in response to FRED exercise in people with LBP.
