Study summary

This randomized controlled study aims to investigate the effects of a sensorimotor training protocol using a mobilized balance platform device on proprioceptive system function, movement control, balance, physical performance, pain severity, and quality of life in patients with chronic low back pain. A total of 44 patients with chronic low back pain will be recruited from the outpatient clinic of Gaziler Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Training and Research Hospital.

Participants will be randomly assigned to either a sensorimotor training group or a control group. The intervention group will receive sensorimotor training using the Huber 360 balance system, while the control group will perform a home exercise program including stretching, spinal mobility, lumbopelvic control, and balance exercises.

Pain severity, proprioception, functional status, balance, physical performance, and quality of life will be assessed before and after treatment by an assessor blinded to group allocation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Individuals aged between 18 and 55 years
  • Presence of chronic low back pain lasting at least 3 months
  • Pain intensity score of 3 or higher on the Visual Analog Scale (VAS)
  • Individuals with sufficient cognitive ability to understand and follow study procedures
  • Willingness to participate voluntarily in the study

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Participation in a similar training program within the last 12 months
  • History of lower extremity or spinal surgery

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(1)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Cancer (malignancy)

Malignancy means cancer. Criteria about another or earlier malignancy ask whether you have had a different cancer, usually within a set number of years.

Some are commonly allowed, such as treated skin cancers other than melanoma and early cancers removed completely — check the exceptions this study lists.

Study arms

  • Active comparator
    Home Exercise Program

    Participants in this group will perform a home exercise program including warm-up and stretching exercises, spinal mobility exercises, lumbopelvic control exercises, and balance exercises. The program will be performed for 30 minutes per session, twice weekly for 5 weeks.

    Behavioral: Home Exercise Program

  • Experimental
    Huber 360 Sensorimotor Training

    Participants in this group will receive a sensorimotor training protocol using the Huber 360 balance system. The intervention will include progressive rotational and oscillatory exercises aimed at improving proprioception, balance, neuromuscular control, and movement control. Sessions will be performed for 30 minutes, twice weekly for 5 weeks.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Lumbar Proprioception Assessment

    Lumbar proprioception will be assessed using lumbar repositioning tests at 60 degrees flexion and 15 degrees extension. Participants will be asked to reproduce target lumbar positions, and the angular repositioning error will be recorded. Lower repositioning error values indicate better lumbar proprioceptive accuracy.

    Time frame: Before treatment and immediately after completion of the 5-week intervention program

Secondary outcomes

  1. Pain Severity Assessed by Visual Analog Scale

    Pain intensity will be assessed using a 10-cm Visual Analog Scale (VAS). Scores range from 0 to 10, where 0 indicates no pain and 10 indicates the worst imaginable pain. Higher scores indicate greater pain severity.

    Time frame: Before treatment and immediately after completion of the 5-week intervention program

  2. Functional Status Assessed by Oswestry Disability Index

    Functional disability related to low back pain will be assessed using the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI). Higher scores indicate greater disability.

    Time frame: Before treatment and immediately after completion of the 5-week intervention program

  3. Balance and Limits of Stability Assessed by Huber 360

    Static balance, dynamic balance, and limits of stability will be assessed using the Huber 360 balance system. Better balance performance and improved stability limits indicate better postural control.

    Time frame: Before treatment and immediately after completion of the 5-week intervention program

  4. Lumbar Flexion Range of Motion

    Physical performance will be assessed using a Physical Performance Test Battery including lumbar flexion range of motion, 50-step walking test, 5-minute walking test, five-repetition sit-to-stand test, ten-repetition trunk flexion test, and forward reaching with weight.

    Time frame: Before treatment and immediately after completion of the 5-week intervention program

  5. Quality of Life Assessed by Short Form-36

    Quality of life will be assessed using the Short Form-36 (SF-36). Higher scores indicate better health-related quality of life.

    Time frame: Before treatment and immediately after completion of the 5-week intervention program

  6. 50-Step Walking Test

    he time required to complete the 50-step walking test will be recorded in seconds

    Time frame: Before treatment and immediately after completion of the 5-week intervention program

  7. Five-Minute Walking Test

    The time required to complete five sit-to-stand repetitions will be recorded in seconds.

    Time frame: Before treatment and immediately after completion of the 5-week intervention program

  8. Ten-Repetition Trunk Flexion Test

    The time required to complete ten trunk flexion repetitions will be recorded in seconds.

    Time frame: Before treatment and immediately after completion of the 5-week intervention program

  9. Forward Reaching with Weight Test

    Forward reaching distance while holding weight will be measured in centimeters.

    Time frame: Before treatment and immediately after completion of the 5-week intervention program
