About this study
Official title: Effects of a Sensorimotor Training Protocol Using a Mobilized Balance Platform on Proprioceptive System, Movement Control, and Quality of Life in Patients With Chronic Low Back Pain
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.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Huber 360 Sensorimotor TrainingDevice
Participants will receive sensorimotor training using the Huber 360 balance system. The protocol will include progressive rotational and oscillatory exercises designed to improve proprioception, balance, neuromuscular control, and movement control in patients with chronic low back pain. Sessions will be performed for 30 minutes, twice weekly for 5 weeks.
Home Exercise ProgramBehavioural
Participants 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.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Home Exercise Program | Active comparator | 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. Receives: Behavioral: Home Exercise Program |
| Huber 360 Sensorimotor Training | Experimental | 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. Receives: Device: Huber 360 Sensorimotor Training; Behavioral: Home Exercise Program |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
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.
Measured: Before treatment and immediately after completion of the 5-week intervention program
Secondary outcomes (9)
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.
Measured: Before treatment and immediately after completion of the 5-week intervention program
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.
Measured: Before treatment and immediately after completion of the 5-week intervention program
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.
Measured: Before treatment and immediately after completion of the 5-week intervention program
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.
Measured: Before treatment and immediately after completion of the 5-week intervention program
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.
Measured: Before treatment and immediately after completion of the 5-week intervention program
50-Step Walking Test
he time required to complete the 50-step walking test will be recorded in seconds
Measured: Before treatment and immediately after completion of the 5-week intervention program
Five-Minute Walking Test
The time required to complete five sit-to-stand repetitions will be recorded in seconds.
Measured: Before treatment and immediately after completion of the 5-week intervention program
Ten-Repetition Trunk Flexion Test
The time required to complete ten trunk flexion repetitions will be recorded in seconds.
Measured: Before treatment and immediately after completion of the 5-week intervention program
Forward Reaching with Weight Test
Forward reaching distance while holding weight will be measured in centimeters.
Measured: Before treatment and immediately after completion of the 5-week intervention program
