Study Summary

This trial is testing whether ultrasound feedback is an effective way to help people learn how to do the abdominal drawing in maneuver (AHE), which is a trunk stabilization exercise used to treat lower back pain.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for healthy volunteers who experience lower back pain. It aims to find the best way to teach abdominal exercises that may help stabilize the spine and reduce pain. There are no specific exclusion criteria provided, suggesting it's open to a broad adult population without other health complications.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study tests how effective different types of feedback are in teaching an abdominal hollowing exercise (AHE) for lower back pain relief. Participants will be divided into three groups: one with no feedback, one with palpation and verbal guidance, and one with additional real-time ultrasound feedback.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial involves non-invasive educational techniques rather than medication or surgery, there are likely minimal risks involved. However, some participants might experience discomfort or muscle fatigue from performing the exercises.
