Sensomotoric exercises in chronic non-specific low back pain – preliminary results of a single centre

The study included 20 patients with CLBP with intensity of pain > 3 on 0-10 visual analog scale (VAS). Patients were randomly assigned into two equally numbered groups. Patients in the first group performed sensomoric exercises and in the second group conventional strengthening and range of motion flexion/extension exercises, in duration of 4 weeks. In the sensomotoric group there was a significant improvement in 8/10 examined variables between 1st and 2nd and 1st and 3rd measurement with the exception in one variable only between 1st and 3rd measurement. In the conventional group the improvement was observed in 6/10 variables, while in 3 variables no statistical improvement occurred in 1st and 2nd measurement. In our preliminary study of a patient with CLBP there was an improvement regarding majority of variables in both groups, sensomotoric and conventional exercise group. Although there was no significant difference regarding each single variable among two groups, we found the improvement in a larger number of variables and their faster and long- lasting positive effect in patients who underwent sensomotoric exercises in comparison to the group who performed conventional exercise.
