This study is an observational test-retest study designed to investigate the effect of gender on core strength, balance, spinal mobility, and hamstring flexibility in patients with chronic non-specific low back pain (NS-LBP).
Low back pain (LBP) is the primary contributor to years of disability. Individual features (age, physical fitness), psychosocial factors (stress, anxiety, and depression), and occupational factors (hard physical work, bending and twisting motions, and vibration) have all been linked to the development of LBP, which is thought to have a complex etiology.

| Core strength | Measurement of core strength was done with the patient in the crooked lying position. Then, the cuff of the device was held under the lower back of the patient, and the patient was instructed to press against this cuff, tuck his abdomen, and hold the contraction. | 6 months post-procedure |

| Balance control | Romberg's test was used to assess static balance control. Each patient was tested in a single-leg stance with their eyes open on both a stable surface and then on an unstable surface. For the starting position, each patient stands on their dominant leg (determined by the football kicking test), with the unsupported leg in a neutral hip and 90-degree knee flexion position, and their arms crossed at chest level; the examiner observes this position for 60 seconds. In each test condition (SS and SUS), each patient was asked to maintain the position, and the duration for which they held the position was recorded. |

| Spinal mobility | The Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) was used to measure lumbar flexion and extension range of motion. The measurements were taken in a neutral standing position. A line connecting the two posterior superior iliac spines was drawn. Then, two points in the middle of the line and 15 cm above were marked. With lumbar flexion or extension, the distance between the two points was measured and subtracted from the 15 cm distance | 6 months post-procedure |
| Hamstring flexibility | To begin the hamstring flexibility test, the patient sits on the floor with both feet straight forward against a box. Both knees were pressed down to the floor. With the palms facing downwards, and the hands side by side, the subject stretched forward four times and held the position of maximum reach on the fourth count. The patient was asked to maintain the position for two counts. The most distant line touched by the fingertips of both hands was noted, and the distance was measured in cm. | 6 months post-procedure |
