      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Single blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Supportive, Randomization description: In this study, we use random block method to assign patients to two control and experimental groups. In this method, blocks of 4, 6 and 8 or blocks that have an even number can be used. In this study, we will use quadruple blocks in which two people will be assigned to the experimental group and two to the control group. A quadruple block can be formed into 6 possible states according to the laws of probability. First, we identify these 6 possible cases and assign them the number one to six. In the next step, we determine the required number of blocks, which because the number of samples is 56 people, it is necessary to define this number in the form of 14 blocks of 4 people.In other words, in order to assign patients to two groups of 28 people, 14 times must be selected from codes 1 to 6, which is for possible cases of block formation. To do this, with the eyes closed and the tip of the pencil in the table of random numbers, we select a one-digit number and move in one of four directions, and We will select only numbers from one to six. We will continue this process until we randomly select 14 times from the numbers 1 to 6. Next, we write the blocks on a piece of paper, and select them in order of selection, depending on which of the modes constitutes the 4-person block. For example, if the first selected number is code 5 and the fifth mode of formation of 4 blocks is ABBA mode, it means that the first person will be assigned to group A, the second to B, the third to B and the fourth to A. As patients enter the study, the selected blocks will determine which of the two experimental or control groups each individual should be placed in. Finally, 56 patients will be assigned to one of the two groups of intervention (n = 28) and control (n = 28) during the study according to 14 blocks of 4, Blinding description: Subjects are randomly assigned to treatment and control groups by researchers and are aware of the study and the type of treatment they receive. However, the evaluator is unaware of the groups being treated and the type of treatment in each group. Therefore, the study is a single-blind type. The tests are then taken and recorded by the evaluator unaware to the groups and treatment. After treatment, the tests are repeated by the same evaluator and the results are recorded.</study_design>

      <hc_freetext>chronic mechanical low back pain.</hc_freetext>
      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: Intervention group: Ten sessions of physiotherapy including 30 minutes of electrotherapy using TENS acupuncture wave with a frequency of 10 Hz and a wavelength of 200 microseconds, 15 minutes of hot packs, exercises includes: abdominal muscle strengthening, iliopsoas, back and gastrosoleous muscle stretching . Each exercise should be repeated in 3 sets, each set has 3 repetition, each repetition should be holded 30 seconds . In each session, the experimental group, after training and electrotherapy, received the mobilization treatment as 4 sets of two-minute Maitland Grade III techniques (1 minute break between each set) for each part of the foot. It includes the ankle, first tarsometamatars, the calcaneutalus or sublatar and the first metatarsophalangeal joint.Ankle joint mobilization: The tibia and fibula are fixed with one hand and the talus is moved anteroposterior with the other hand. First tarsometatarsal joint: by grasping the first Quneiform bone with the index finger and thumb of the proximal hand and with the other hand moving the base of the first metatarsus towards the dorsal with high amplitude and frequency once per second. Calcanotealus or subtalar joint: As the patient lies on his side, the talus is fixed with one hand and the calcaneus is inverted with the other hand. First metatarsophalangeal joint: The person lies on his back and a pillow is placed under the knee that is flexing, then with one hand hold the first metatarsal fixed and with the other hand move the first thumb in the posteroanterior direction with the same criteria as We were told to move for the ankle. Intervention 2: Control group:  Ten sessions of physiotherapy including 30 minutes of electrotherapy using TENS acupuncture wave with a frequency of 10 Hz and a wavelength of 200 microseconds, 15 minutes of hot packs, exercises includes: abdominal muscle strengthening, iliopsoas, back and gastrosoleous muscle stretching . Each exercise should be repeated in 3 sets, each set has 3 repetition, each repetition should be holded 30 seconds.</i_freetext>
