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.
