EFFECTIVENESS OF STABILITY BALL EXERCISES COMBINES WITH ERGONOMIC SETTING IN PREGNANCY RELATED LOW BACK PAIN. A RANDOMIZED CONTROL TRIAL
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Background: Pregnancy related low back pain (PR-LBP) is very common, which affects activities of daily life including work, sleep, physical activity and compromise the quality of life. The prevention PR-LBP through physical therapy is uncommon in Pakistani population. Objective: to determine the effectiveness of stability ball exercises (SBE) in combination with ergonomic training (ET) in pregnancy related low back pain (PR-LBP). Methodology: A single blinded, randomized clinical trial was conducted at physical therapy department of Haleema Siraj Hospital Rawalpindi Pakistan. A total of n=90, who were coming to the clinic for follow-up, fulfilled the inclusion criteria and were thus recruited through non-probability convenient sampling technique. The study participants were randomly divided in to two groups i.e. SBE (n=45) and combination of SBE with ES (n=45), through lottery method. Quebec disability scale (QDS) was used to determine the functional disability. Results: The mean age of study participants was 26.5±4.56723 years. Significant improvement was observed in both groups with larger effect size throughout the treatment duration (p<0.05).Conclusion: SBE and combination of SBE with ES significantly reduced low back pain and functional disability Keywords: activities of daily living, disability, ergonomic, posture, pregnancy, pregnancy related low back pain, stability ball exercises.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
