Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Design: single group pre-post intervention (N=20) with a sub-sample of qualitative interviews (N=5)

Intervention: The Motum movement program aims to sequentially address mobility, motor control and strength abilities through a 12-week progressive, ground-based program. Concepts are first taught in prone and supine, then four-point kneel, tall kneel and half kneel before continuing to standing postures (e.g. squat and lunge positions). The movements are performed individually focussing on body awareness, technique and control and then strung together as movement flows, to emphasise co-ordination, stability and motor control. Participants will complete one hour of in person class at the clinic for 12 consecutive weeks.

Location: Physio Smart Clinic, 296 Payneham Rd, Payneham, SA, 5070
Who: X2 physiotherapists who have experience in delivering the program (2 years)
Mode: In person classes
Number of times: 12 x 1hr classes (1 per week)
Level of intensity: low-moderate intensity when assessed using Borg RPE
Exercise examples: ROM of the spine/spinal waves, bending/extending of trunk and core, modified/ variations of squats, hops, planks, tibial rotation, shin boxes, kick throughs

Adherence will be monitored by an attendance sheet and participants will be invited to complete the post-intervention questionnaires regardless of number of sessions attended to best capture the acceptability (reasons for non-attendance etc.)

Interviews:
Semi-structured interviews using a questionnaire consisting of the following questions:
• What are your overall thoughts on the program Motum program?
• What part(s) of the program did you like/think went well? Why?
• What part(s) of the program didn’t you like/ think went not well? Why?
• What impact has participating in the program had on you? Positive +/- negative
• Have you had any issues affecting your ability to engage with the program? If yes, what and why?
• Would you suggest any changes to the program? If yes, what and why?

Approximate duration of interviews is expected to be 20minutes, they will be audio-recorded via zoom. Interviews will be conducted by a member of the research team (expected to be Alice Farmer)

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 335363 0
Acceptability of the Motum program as an intervention for those with NSLBP symptoms, measured using the Theoretical Framework of Acceptability Questionnaire (TFAQ)
Timepoint [1] 335363 0
Post intervention delivery (after the delivery of the 12 week program is complete)
Primary outcome [2] 335364 0
Acceptability of the Motum program as an intervention for those with NSLBP symptoms, using the Credibility and Expectancy Questionnaire (CEQ)
Timepoint [2] 335364 0
Pre-intervention delivery (at baseline). Once the participant has read the participant information sheet, expressed interest and been screened for eligibility and successfully entered into the trial they will be sent the pre-intervention questionnaires to complete online at a time of their convenience prior to the commencement of the first class
Secondary outcome [1] 424110 0
Possible clinical outcomes of the Motum program on pain/function of those with NSLBP symptoms using the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI). These will be assess as composite secondary outcomes captured together by the ODI rather than separate outcomes.
Timepoint [1] 424110 0
Pre-intervention (at baseline, prior to commencing first class) and post-intervention (after the delivery of the 12 week program is complete).
Secondary outcome [2] 424111 0
Possible clinical outcomes of the Motum program on the fear of movement of those with NSLBP symptoms using the Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia (TSK)
Timepoint [2] 424111 0
Pre-intervention (at baseline, prior to commencing first class) and post-intervention (after the delivery of the 12 week program is complete).
Secondary outcome [3] 424112 0
Possible clinical outcomes of the Motum program on the amount of active/sedentary time being spent by those with NSLBP symptoms using Simple Physical Activity Questionnaire (SIMPAQ). This will be assessed as a composite outcome
Timepoint [3] 424112 0
Pre-intervention (at baseline, prior to commencing first class) and post-intervention (after the delivery of the 12 week program is complete).
Secondary outcome [4] 424113 0
Possible clinical outcomes of the Motum program on self efficacy of those with NSLBP symptoms using the Perceive Self Efficacy Questionnaire (PSEQ)
Timepoint [4] 424113 0
Pre-intervention (at baseline, prior to commencing first class) and post-intervention (after the delivery of the 12 week program is complete).
Secondary outcome [5] 424116 0
Possible clinical outcomes of the Motum program on dynamic balance of those with NSLBP symptoms using the Y Balance Test (YBT).
Timepoint [5] 424116 0
Pre-intervention (at baseline, prior to commencing first class) and post-intervention (after the delivery of the 12 week program is complete).

Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Able to speak, read and write in English. Able to commit to attending classes at the clinic one a week for 12 weeks. Living with chronic non-specific low back pain (>3 months)
Minimum age
18 Years
Maximum age
No limit
Sex
Both males and females
Can healthy volunteers participate?
No
Key exclusion criteria
Exclusion Criteria: Pregnancy, recent surgery (previous three months) , inability to get up/down from the floor unassisted as they all impact ability to safely participate in the program. Specific low back pain (confirmed radiculopathy). Red flags indicating possible other pathologies (e.g severe night pain, fever, unexplained weight loss, metastases, etc.). Previous participation in the Motum program as it impairs their ability to judge acceptability.

As the aim of this research is to determine the acceptability of the Motum intervention rather than the efficacy it does not need to be powered. The number of participants (n=20) was decided by the available resources and the constraints (e.g time) of the clinic/researchers.
