Summary

Abstract:

Background: The multifidus muscle, the most medially located back muscle and the largest muscle that spans the lumbosacral junction serves to provide dynamic stability to the spinal column. Virtual reality and core stabilization exercises are commonly used for balance training in musculoskeletal conditions. The knowledge regarding the effective implementation of these training protocols in patients suffering from chronic low back pain (LBP) is insufficient.

Objective: The purpose of the present study is to investigate the efficacy of virtual reality versus stabilization exercises on lumbar multifidus muscle function among patients with low back pain.

Design: Randomized, double-blinded controlled study. Participants: Sixty LBP participants will be divided into three groups in a 1:1:1 ratio, 20 in each group (control group, stabilizing exercises, and virtual reality rehabilitation system). All three groups received training three days per week throughout the Six-week treatment session.

Outcome measures: Evaluation of pain by the visual analog scale (VAS), Level of functional impairments by Oswestry Disability Index and Accuracy of lumbar repositioning measurement by Biodex system will be measured at baseline and after Six weeks.
