Objectives: Aim of the present study is to evaluate the efficacy of motor control exercise on disability of spine in chronic low back pain.

Methods: Pretest-posttest Experimental - Group Design. 30 subjects were randomly assigned into two groups. Experimental group received motor control exercise along with the general exercise whereas control group received only general exercise. Disability questionnaire (Modified Oswestry disability questionnaire), and endurance was measured at 0 week, 2nd week, 4th week and 6th week.

Results: Motor control exercise along with General exercise significantly reduces disability and improves the endurance

Conclusion: from the result we may conclude that motor control exercise along with the general exercise is more effective than general exercise alone in rehabilitation of patient with chronic low back pain.
