Abstract

Introduction: Studies have shown that there is relationship between movement control dysfunction and pain in patients with chronic low back pain. The aim of present study was to determine the therapeutic effectiveness of sensorimotor training on movement control in patients with chronic non specific low back pain (CNSLBP). Materials and Methods: 53 patients with CNSLBP were selected by using Roland Morrice questionnaires and assigned into two experimental (N=27) and control (N=26) groups (mean age: 36.86±7.16 years in experimental group and 38.25±6.19 years in control group). Experimental group underwent 5 weeks (2 x30 min sessions each week) of sensorimotor training using Huber spine force. The Luomajoki movement control battery tests and visual analogue scale were used for assessment of movement control and low back pain, respectively. Results: Significant improvement was seen in movement control of sensorimotor training group (P=0.001). Also There was a significant reduction in the pain scores of subjects with CNSLBP (P= 0.001), whereas these changes were not significant in control group. Conclusion: These results suggest that sensorimotor training program can be effective in improving movement control and pain relief in patients with CNSLBP. It may be warrant for prospective studies to consider the long term impacts of the sensorimotor training program on treatment of patients with CNSLBP within a large population size.
