Official title
A Randomized Controlled Trial Comparing the Immediate Effects of Manual and Verbal Cueing During Movement Control Training in Individuals With Chronic Non-Specific Low Back Pain
Overview
Chronic non-specific low back pain is commonly associated with impaired movement control. Movement control training is often used in rehabilitation, and different cueing methods may influence how patients perform and learn movements. The purpose of this randomized controlled trial is to compare the immediate effects of manual cueing and verbal cueing during movement control training in individuals with chronic non-specific low back pain. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either manual cueing or verbal cueing during a standardized movement training session. The study will examine immediate changes in movement control performance, perceived difficulty, and related clinical outcomes following the intervention. The results of this study may help clinicians better understand how different cueing strategies influence movement performance in people with chronic non-specific low back pain.
Interventions
- Behavioral Movement Control Training With Manual Cueing
Movement Control Training with Manual Cueing involves hands-on guidance provided by the therapist to enhance movement quality during standardized movement control training. Verbal instructions are used only to explain the movement sequence, while manuel guidance is primarily applied to facilitate movement quality. Manual cueing is delivered according to the individual's needs and may include the following strategies: 1. Gentle and evenly distributed manual pressure is applied to provide postur - Behavioral Movement Control Training With Verbal Cueing
Movement control training with verbal cueing involves the use of spoken instructions and verbal feedback provided by the therapist to facilitate movement quality during standardized movement control training. Physical contact is not used during the intervention. Verbal instructions are focused on key aspects of movement performance, including alignment and weight distribution, to support correct execution of the movement tasks. Examples of verbal cues include instructions such as maintaining th
