AIM: To find out how an open kinetic control program affects people with low back pain in terms of both pain and functional impairment. DESIGN: Single masking, pre-post randomized controlled trial. SETTING: LBP patients from the Outpatient Clinic at Faculty of Physical Therapy, Giza, Egypt. METHODS: 30 patients with LBP were randomized into two groups utilizing an opaque
sealed envelope. Group "A" (open kinetic) and Group "B" (control): Two groups were given standard treatment. Treatment was given three times a week for four weeks. The patient was evaluated before and after therapy using a visual analogue scale (VAS) as well as the Oswestry impairment Index for pain severity and functional impairment.
