Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  Conventional Exercise  Exercises including single and double knee to chest (for stretching and flexibility of the back extensor and strengthening of the rectus-obliques muscles), prone lying with pillow with one leg sliding (for strengthening the back extensor muscles), cycling in supine (for strengthening the abdominal muscles and coordinating anterior and posterior lumbar muscles), and bridging exercises (for strengthening back extensor muscles).(8) The duration of session will be 10 to 15 minutes for 6 days a week and 10 repetitions of each exercise for a period of 6 weeks and a rest interval of 2 minutes between exercises. 
Intervention  Feldenkrais method  Each session will be base on the exploration of specific movements, with a focus on increasing awareness and enhancing pain-free effective function. To enhance self- image, habitual movement patterns will be explored in each session, guided by the therapists verbal instructions. Participants will be directed towards body parts that are often overlooked during movements. As Feldenkrais method work on principle of awareness through movement, therapist will be educate the patient in certain movement (which will difficult to do). The duration of session will be 10 to 15 minutes. 3 session per week for period of 6 week. Conventional Exercises including single and double knee to chest (for stretching and flexibility of the back extensor and strengthening of the rectus-obliques muscles), prone lying with pillow with one leg sliding (for strengthening the back extensor muscles), cycling in supine (for strengthening the abdominal muscles and coordinating anterior and posterior lumbar muscles), and bridging exercises (for strengthening back extensor muscles). The duration of session will be 10 to 15 minutes for 6 days a week and 10 repetitions of each exercise for a period of 6 weeks and a rest interval of 2 minutes between exercises. 
Intervention  McGill stabilization exercises  Patients will be perform Curl up (for training the rectus and obliques abdominis muscles and controlling pelvic motion), Side Bridge (for training the quadratus lumborum muscles, as a key muscle in spinal stability), Bird Dog with (for training the anterior and posterior lumbar muscles, especially the transverse abdominis). For each exercise there will be 3 sets, 10 repetitions with 5 seconds contraction hold. 3 days a week for a period of 6 weeks and a rest interval of 2 minutes between exercises. The duration of session will be 10 to 15 minutes. Conventional Exercises including single and double knee to chest (for stretching and flexibility of the back extensor and strengthening of the rectus-obliques muscles), prone lying with pillow with one leg sliding (for strengthening the back extensor muscles), cycling in supine (for strengthening the abdominal muscles and coordinating anterior and posterior lumbar muscles), and bridging exercises (for strengthening back extensor muscles). The duration of session will be 10 to 15 minutes for 6 days a week and 10 repetitions of each exercise for a period of 6 weeks and a rest interval of 2 minutes between exercises.

Brief Summary   Comparative effect of McGill stabilization exercise vs Feldenkrais method on pain, functional disability and core strength in patients with lumbar spondylosis: An Experimental study

1.1 Need of the study
    There are no studies available which compare the McGill stabilization exercises to the Feldenkrais method in patient with lumbar spondylosis. There is need to evaluate specific techniques or methods that could prove helpful in enhancing self-awareness and functional improvement while concurrently reducing costs for patients.

1.2 Objective
1. To determine the effectiveness of McGill stabilization exercises on patient with lumbar spondylosis in terms of pain, functional disability and core strength. 
2. To determine the effectiveness of Feldenkrais method on patient with lumbar spondylosis in terms of pain, functional disability and core strength. 
3. To compare the effect of McGill stabilization exercises and Feldenkrais method on patient with lumbar spondylosis in terms of pain, functional disability and core strength.

1.3 Methodology
1 Study Design: A pre-post experimental study
2 Study Population: Patients with pre diagnosed lumbar spondylosis
3 Study sample: Male and female between 30-60 years of age having chronic lumbar spondylosis
4 Sampling technique: Purposive Sampling

1.4 Inclusion criteria
ʉۢ Patient diagnosed with lumbar spondylosis in x ray findings.
 â€¢ Both males and females aged 30 to 60 years. 
 â€¢ Persistence low back pain more than 12 weeks 
 â€¢ Patient who able to understand either Gujarati or English. 
 â€¢ NPRS<7, ODI≤40% 

1.5 Exclusion criteria
• History of trauma or surgery in spine in past 3 months. 
• Subjects with rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, polyarthralgia or any other systemic wide spread pain disease. 
• Any condition which may restrict weight on upper extremities. 
• Subject diagnosed with infective, neurological, cardio-pulmonary, psychosomatic disorders. 
• History of cancer. 
• History of congenital and structural malalignments. 
• Professional athletes and Gymers or who engaged in sports and recreational activities.
• Subjects consuming analgesics or non-surgical anti-inflammatory drugs.

1.6 Procedure
• Participants will be preliminary screened based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. 
• Demographic details will be obtained from all the participants. 
• The purpose of the study will be explained and all the participants will be asked to sign written informed consent. 
• They will be randomly allocated into three groups by chit method. 
GROUP A: Participants will undergo for McGill stabilization exercise and conventional treatment 
GROUP B: Participants will undergo for Feldenkrais method and conventional treatment 
GROUP C: Participants will undergo for conventional treatment. (Control group) 
     On the first day of the first week, baseline measurements of Pain, functional disability, core strength will be taken. Total treatment will be of 6 weeks with 3 sessions per week for Group A and Group B. Post assessment data of Pain, functional disability and core strength will be taken at the end of 6 week.
