This study evaluates the effectiveness of a web application-based exercise program (delivered via Physitrack) for managing non-specific low back pain (NSLBP) compared to traditional home exercise programs. The trial focuses on whether web-based delivery can improve pain, function, quality of life, and adherence, providing evidence for digital rehabilitation as a practical alternative to conventional physiotherapy.
Non-specific low back pain (NSLBP) is a prevalent condition associated with pain, functional limitations, and reduced quality of life. Access to in-person physiotherapy can be limited by geographic, financial, or time-related constraints. Web-based exercise programs offer an accessible alternative by delivering personalized exercises, educational content, reminders, and self-monitoring tools via digital platforms.
This study aims to investigate whether a structured web application-based exercise program can improve outcomes for adults with NSLBP compared to traditional home exercises. The trial addresses gaps in current evidence regarding the effectiveness of telerehabilitation, patient engagement, and delivery modes, and seeks to determine if digital interventions can serve as a viable complement or alternative to conventional physiotherapy.

Exclusion Criteria:
Participants complete an 8-week web-based exercise program via Physitrack. Sessions last 30-45 minutes, twice per week, focusing on core strengthening, spinal mobility, posture correction, and pain reduction. Exercises progress weekly from basic core engagement to advanced trunk control and integration.
Behavioral: Web-Based Therapeutic Exercise Program
Participants complete a 6-week traditional home exercise program. Sessions last 30-40 minutes, focusing on flexibility, basic trunk and core strengthening, balance, and ergonomic practice. Exercises progress weekly, emphasizing pain relief, trunk mobility, and functional strength.
Behavioral: Traditional Home Exercise Program
Participants complete an 8-week web-based therapeutic exercise program via Physitrack, with 30-45 minute sessions twice weekly. The program targets core strengthening, spinal mobility, posture correction, and pain reduction. Exercises progress weekly from basic core engagement and breathing techniques to advanced trunk control, dynamic movements, and integration. The platform provides instructional videos, reminders, educational content, and self-monitoring tools to enhance adherence, engagement, and self-management.
Participants follow a 6-week traditional home exercise program with 30-40 minute sessions, twice weekly. The program focuses on flexibility, basic trunk and core strengthening, balance, and ergonomic practice. Exercises progress weekly, including cat-cow stretches, pelvic tilts, glute bridges, partial curl-ups, bird-dog, lunges, and posture training. Participants perform exercises independently at home using printed instructions, aiming to reduce pain, improve spinal mobility, and enhance functional outcomes.
Pain Reduction (Numeric Pain Rating Scale, NPRS)
Change in self-reported low back pain intensity from baseline to 6 weeks, measured using the Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS), where 0 = no pain and 10 = worst imaginable pain. Participants report their average pain over the past 24 hours.
Time frame: Baseline and 6 weeks after intervention
Functional Disability (Oswestry Disability Index, ODI)
Change in disability due to low back pain from baseline to 6 weeks, measured using the ODI, which evaluates daily activities such as pain intensity, personal care, lifting, walking, sitting, and sleeping. Higher scores indicate greater disability.
Time frame: Baseline and 6 weeks after intervention
Quality of Life (Short Form Health Survey, SF-36)
Change in health-related quality of life from baseline to 6 weeks across physical and mental health domains
Time frame: Baseline and 6 weeks after intervention
Patient Satisfaction Questionnaire (PSQ)
Participants' satisfaction with the intervention, including ease of use, communication, and perceived effectiveness.
Time frame: 6 weeks end of intervention
Proprioception (Joint Position Sense Test, JPS)
Change in lumbar spine proprioception from baseline to 6 weeks.
Time frame: Baseline and 6 weeks after intervention
Plan to share: Yes — De-identified individual participant data (IPD) from this study, including demographic information, pain scores (NPRS), functional disability scores (ODI), quality of life (SF-36), patient satisfaction (PSQ), and proprioception measurements (JPS), may be shared upon reasonable request. Data will be anonymized to protect participant privacy, and access will be provided for academic or research purposes only.
