Background and aims: Chronic low back pain is a common musculoskeletal condition. This study aimed to investigate the effects of a sensorimotor exercise program on lumbar spine posture, pain, and proprioception in military personnel suffering from chronic non-specific low back pain.
Methods: This interventional clinical trial involved 30 military personnel with chronic non-specific low back pain, divided equally into a sensorimotor exercise group and a control group. Lumbar spine posture, pain, and proprioception were assessed before and after the intervention using a flexible ruler, the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), and a goniometer, respectively. Data were analyzed using ANCOVA with a significance level set at 0.05.
Results: Sensorimotor exercises significantly improved lumbar spine posture (p = 0.001) and reduced back pain (p = 0.001) in the military personnel. Additionally, proprioception showed a significant improvement following the exercise intervention (p = 0.001).
Conclusion: Sensorimotor exercises that stimulate the proprioceptive system and enhance sensorimotor input can effectively improve spinal posture, reduce pain, and enhance proprioception in military personnel with chronic non-specific low back pain.
