Brief summary (from the registry)

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effectiveness of telerehabilitation-based and clinic-based methods to deliver a Core Stabilization Exercise Program with the Abdominal Drawing-In Maneuver Technique (CSE with ADIM) on pain intensity, functional ability, quality of life, and satisfaction in chronic low back pain patients with lumbar instability. The main question it aims to answer is: Is there a difference between the effectiveness of telerehabilitation-based and clinic-based CSE with ADIM on pain intensity, functional ability, quality of life, and satisfaction in chronic low back pain patients with lumbar instability? Participants will perform a 7-week core stabilization exercise with the abdominal drawing-in maneuver technique, consisting of an exercise program for 20-minute sessions with 3 sessions per week. These exercise programs will be provided to the participants via a weekly video call with the main researcher as a telerehabilitation program. At the first session of each week, the researcher will provide supervision via video call with the participant for the exercise program. The participants will perform the exercise by following the video demonstration. After completing weekly training, participants will perform their exercise routine as part of their daily home program. If there is a comparison group: researchers will compare The control group (clinical-base group) will be provided the 7-week core stabilization exercise with abdominal drawing-in maneuver technique, the same as the experimental group, but control groups received the exercise program at the clinic according to the usual methods. At the first session of each week, an appointment will be set, and then the specific exercise for each week will be delivered and trained by the main researcher at the clinic. After completing weekly training, participants will perform their exercise routine as part of their daily home program to see if there are any differences in pain intensity, f…
