Overview

Brief Summary

Proprioceptive weighting changes may explain differences in postural control performance. Deficits in proprioception are found in a subgroup of patients with low back pain.

The aim of the study is to clarify whether proprioceptive training has a positive effect on proprioceptive postural control in individuals with recurrent low back pain.
