Official title
Effects of a Sensorimotor Training Protocol Using a Mobilized Balance Platform on Proprioceptive System, Movement Control, and Quality of Life in Patients With Chronic Low Back Pain
Overview
This randomized controlled study aims to investigate the effects of a sensorimotor training protocol using a mobilized balance platform device on proprioceptive system function, movement control, balance, physical performance, pain severity, and quality of life in patients with chronic low back pain. A total of 44 patients with chronic low back pain will be recruited from the outpatient clinic of Gaziler Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Training and Research Hospital. Participants will be randomly assigned to either a sensorimotor training group or a control group. The intervention group will receive sensorimotor training using the Huber 360 balance system, while the control group will perform a home exercise program including stretching, spinal mobility, lumbopelvic control, and balance exercises. Pain severity, proprioception, functional status, balance, physical performance, and quality of life will be assessed before and after treatment by an assessor blinded to group allocation.
Interventions
- Device Huber 360 Sensorimotor Training
Participants will receive sensorimotor training using the Huber 360 balance system. The protocol will include progressive rotational and oscillatory exercises designed to improve proprioception, balance, neuromuscular control, and movement control in patients with chronic low back pain. Sessions will be performed for 30 minutes, twice weekly for 5 weeks. - Behavioral Home Exercise Program
Participants will perform a home exercise program including warm-up and stretching exercises, spinal mobility exercises, lumbopelvic control exercises, and balance exercises. The program will be performed for 30 minutes per session, twice weekly for 5 weeks.
Primary outcome measures
- Lumbar Proprioception Assessment [Time frame: Before treatment and immediately after completion of the 5-week intervention program]
Secondary outcome measures (9)
- Pain Severity Assessed by Visual Analog Scale [Time frame: Before treatment and immediately after completion of the 5-week intervention program]
- Functional Status Assessed by Oswestry Disability Index [Time frame: Before treatment and immediately after completion of the 5-week intervention program]
- Balance and Limits of Stability Assessed by Huber 360 [Time frame: Before treatment and immediately after completion of the 5-week intervention program]
- Lumbar Flexion Range of Motion [Time frame: Before treatment and immediately after completion of the 5-week intervention program]
- Quality of Life Assessed by Short Form-36 [Time frame: Before treatment and immediately after completion of the 5-week intervention program]
- 50-Step Walking Test [Time frame: Before treatment and immediately after completion of the 5-week intervention program]
- Five-Minute Walking Test [Time frame: Before treatment and immediately after completion of the 5-week intervention program]
- Ten-Repetition Trunk Flexion Test [Time frame: Before treatment and immediately after completion of the 5-week intervention program]
- Forward Reaching with Weight Test [Time frame: Before treatment and immediately after completion of the 5-week intervention program]
