Abstract

Background: Most chronic low back pain is nonspecific as the cause of the pain is unknown. Hence exercise protocol focussing on one area of fitness is not appropriate. A general exercise programme that combines muscular strength, flexibility and aerobic fitness would benefit the rehabilitation of Nonspecific Chronic Low Back Pain and its health risk. The present study aimed to validate the content of the combined exercise intervention protocol. Methods: The development and expert judgement stages are part of the content validation process. The development of the exercise protocol was based on a comprehensive literature review. The protocol was created in a step-by-step progressive manner. Exercises for flexibility (20 minutes), stabilisation and strengthening (20 minutes), and aerobic (20 minutes) make up the three main parts of the exercise protocol. 12 independent professionals with a minimum of 10 years of experience were invited. Ten of the twelve specialists consented to take part in the study. In India, all of the professionals were engaged in orthopaedic and musculoskeletal physical therapy. There are two professors, three associate professors, and five senior physiotherapists among the experts. Responses were gathered by mail. During the validation phase, The Exercise protocol was graded by the experts on relevance and ease of performance using a 5-point scale. After collecting the responses content validity index and kappa values were calculated. Results: 37 out of 39 items in the combined exercise intervention protocol showed good agreement. Treadmill walking with 60-75% and 80% and above target heart rate showed a kappa value of 0.66 for relevance and 0.50 for ease of performance. Conclusions: The designed exercise protocol exhibited good content validity.
