Summary

Recent studies indicate that patients with chronic low back pain (LBP) present problems in balance. Alterations in proprioception are the possible causes of alteration of postural balance in LBP.

Previous studies reported an improvement of CSE on joint mobility, pain, functional disability, and trunk muscle activation pattern in patients with clinical lumbar instability (CLI); however, it was an immediate effect. However, previous studies did not report indirect effect may occur in CLI as postural balance and other kinds of exercise as strengthening in CLI. The general trunk strengthening exercise is common used in physical therapy clinic on LBP, that improve pain, physical disability, and trunk muscles activity. To our knowledge, the usefulness of CSE has not yet been investigated in CLI patients with outcome measure of balance.

The present study will conduct to fill the gaps of previous studies which will provide immediate-, accumulative- and detraining-effects of CSE on postural balance, pain intensity and ratio activation of trunk muscles and included blinding process of the assessor.
