Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Change in the degree of lumbopelvic instability	Change in the degree of lumbopelvic instability will be measured by specific tests(The dip test, the runner pose test and the single leg squat test) and the pateint performance will be graded as poor or good	change in the lumbopelvic instability degree will be measured at baseline and after 6 weeks of the interventions
Primary	lumbopelvic range of motion	Degree of lumbopelvic range of motion will be measured by goniometer	change in the lumbopelvic instability degree will be measured at baseline and after 6 weeks of the interventions
Secondary	severity of pain intensity	change in low back pain intensity will be measured using visual analogue scale(VAS); low back pain intensity	change in the lumbopelvic instability will be measured at baseline and after 6 weeks of the interventions
Secondary	the degree of function disability	the change in the degree of function disability will be measured by Oswestry disability index (ODI)	change in the lumbopelvic instability will be measured at baseline and after 6 weeks of the interventions
