Proprioceptive Training and Low Back Pain

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Proprioceptive Training; Low Back Pain
• Interventions: Other: Proprioceptive training; Other: Sham proprioceptive training

• Registration Number: NCT01505595
• Lead Sponsor: KU Leuven

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.
