Aim and background: Low back pain is a syndrome with multifactorial etiology that affects 6.8% of the world population during life time. Therefore, the aims of this study was to examine the effect of rehabilitation with medicine ball on muscle activity in Patients with low back pain during Walking. Material and Methods: The present study was a clinical trial. The statistical population of the present study included patients with low back pain that randomly divided into two interventional (age: 25.4±2.5 years, weight: 79.04±3.06 kg, height: 176.03±7.04 cm) and control (age: 25.8±2.09 years, weight: 79.00±3.01 kg, height: 176.06±7.01cm) groups. The intervention group performed resistance training with medicine ball and the control group participated in pre-test and post-test only, without any training performance. were recorded muscle activities of the Gastrocnemius lateral (GAS-L), Biceps femoris (BF),Semitendinosus (ST), Vastus medialis (VM), External abdominal (ABD-L), Rectus abdominal (ABD-R) and Erector spinae (ES). Results: The results of the present study showed an increase in the frequency spectrum of the rector femoris muscle during the heel contact and push off in experimental group in post-test compared to the pre-test, and indicated statistically significant difference, Also, the frequency spectrum of the right abdominal muscle in the experimental group has decreased in the post-test compared to the pre-test during the pushing phase, and indicated statistically significant difference. Conclusion: Rehabilitation with a medicine ball leads to increase the activity of the quadriceps muscles in low back pain patients, and it seems to be an important factor in decreasing shock absorption during walking.
