Summary

Introduction: Low back pain is a musculoskeletal disorder that is associated with symptoms such as pain, limitation of joint range and postural problems in athletes. Postural control is a key factor in disciplines with high biomechanical demands, such as rhythmic gymnastics. In addition, the potential influence of occlusal splints on body posture has been discussed, although evidence remains inconclusive. Methods: The study design is a randomized controlled clinical trial with a minimum of 35 elite gymnasts with back pain. Two postural treatments will be implemented, Mezieres Method and Isostretching, to verify whether there is improvement in low back pain in gymnasts and to compare both procedures. Postural variables will also allow exploratory analysis of factors potentially associated with postural regulation, including the possible influence of occlusal-byte use. Discussion: This trial could generate a greater understanding of the importance of posture related to low back pain and its possible treatments. It may also contribute to clarifying the relationship between postural therapeutic approaches and other factors influencing postural control.
