Sensorimotor Training in Low-back Pain Rehabilitation

Summary

This study evaluates the effects of additional sensorimotor training (proprioceptive postural training, PPT) to conventional therapy in the treatment of chronic low-back pain. Half of the participants will receive instructed treadmill training as an active comparator against PPT. All participants receive conventional physiotherapy as prescribed by their treating medical doctors. It is expected that the PPT group will improve in postural control, proprioceptive, as well as pain and function outcomes to a significantly greater extent than the active control group.

Conditions

  • Low Back Pain

Interventions

OTHER

Proprioceptive postural training

OTHER

Treadmill training

OTHER

Conventional physiotherapy

All participating patients will attend usual care according to their treatment plan (taking part in the study does not affect the treatment plan). A physiotherapy referral requests 9 treatments, each of which takes 30 minutes. These will take place twice a week for 4.5 weeks. The study protocol does not dictate the content of the physiotherapy sessions themselves, but detailed documentation of provided treatments is required (therapy documentation sheet). Additionally, the aim of the physiotherapy sessions should always include reduction of muscular imbalances and optimisation of posture.
