Abstract
Abstract: Low back pain is a major and socio-economic problem that is associated with high costs, work deterioration and an adverse impact on the disability index. Conventional exercise therapy is considered to be effective in treating chronic non-specific low back pain in most of the clinical practice guidelines. Recently, motor control exercises have also gained some popularity after it was considered as one of the specific treatment options to treat chronic low back pain a few years ago. However, limited research has been conducted on the combined effect of conventional exercise therapy and motor control exercises on chronic non-specific low back pain. Present study examines the if there is any added effect of motor control exercises along with conventional physical therapy on chronic non-specific low back pain through a literature review. Accordingly, this study explores seven published articles which have examined potential effect of these exercises. Additionally, the present study discusses the possible further research opportunities and thereby learning more about the efficacy of motor control exercises along with conventional physical therapy on chronic non-specific low back pain.
