Thoracic Mobility Versus Hip Mobility Exercises to Core Stabilization in Lumbar Spondylitis
Sponsor: Cairo University
Summary
This study is conducted to determine the effect of thoracic mobility versus hip mobility exercises to core stabilization on pain severity (NPRS-Ar), functional disability (MODI-Ar), lumbar range of motion (BROM), spinal mobility (modified schober test), quality of life (SF-36-Ar) and fear of movement (Tampa-Ar) in treatment of patients with lumbar spondylitis.

Interventions
Group A : Core stabilization exercises (control group)
Core stabilization exercises include Abdomen Curl ,Supine Bridging ,Bird Dog , Side Bridging , Plank , Curl Up and Sitting On Ball In each session. The exercises will consist of 3 levels (from easy to difficult). In the advanced level exercises, patients will be asked to maintain the neutral curvature of the lumbar spine, resistance limb exercises will be added and the exercises will be completed gradually. Each exercise will be performed for 3 sets of 8-10 repetition.
Group B: Thoracic Mobility Exercises (1st experimental group only)
receive thoracic Mobility Exercises as movements in all directions of thoracic spine as (Thoracic extension with foam roller ,Thoracic extension with chair ,Thoracic flexion in quadruped , Right Thoracic rotation in side lying ,Left Thoracic rotation in side lying , Right kneeling Thoracic rotation , Left kneeling Thoracic rotation , Right Thoracic sitting lateral flexion and Left Thoracic sitting lateral flexion) .Each exercise will be performed for 3 sets of 10 repetitions.
Group C: Hip Mobility Exercises (2nd experimental group only)
will receive core stabilization Exercises program(as Abdomen Curl ,Supine Bridging ,Bird Dog , Side Bridging , Plank , Curl Up and Sitting On Ball. In each session) in addition to hip Mobility Exercises (The patients will perform 8 different hip mobility exercises; reverse v-ups, butterfly, frog, internal rotation with foot rise, pike, revolved crescent lunge, pigeon, lunge on the knee. Each exercise will be performed for 2 sets of 20 seconds).
GROUP B CORE STABILIZATION PROGRAM
will receive core stabilization Exercises program(as Abdomen Curl ,Supine Bridging ,Bird Dog , Side Bridging , Plank , Curl Up and Sitting On Ball.
