Sensorimotor training with a mobilized balance system for chronic low back pain
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
Run by Gaziler Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Education and Research Hospital · NCT07603609 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study tests whether sensorimotor training with the Huber 360 balance system helps people with chronic low back pain compared with a home exercise program.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults aged 18–55 with chronic low back pain (≥3 months) and pain intensity of at least 3/10 on the Visual Analog Scale.
✕Probably not a fit
Individuals with recent spinal surgery, non-mechanical back pain, inflammatory disease, tumors, radicular symptoms, progressive neurological deficits, or uncontrolled cardiovascular conditions may not benefit.

What this trial studies
In this randomized controlled trial, adults with chronic low back pain will be assigned to either a sensorimotor training program using a mobilized balance platform or a home exercise program. Outcomes include proprioception, movement control, balance, physical performance, pain, and quality of life, assessed by an evaluator unaware of group assignment. The study plans to enroll 44 participants from an Ankara outpatient rehabilitation hospital. The intervention group uses the Huber 360 balance system, while the control group performs a structured home program focusing on stretching, spinal mobility, lumbopelvic control, and balance. Measurements are taken before and after treatment to determine potential benefits of the sensorimotor approach.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, patients may experience improved balance, proprioception, and reduced pain, contributing to better function and quality of life.
How similar studies have gone: Previous work in balance and sensorimotor training suggests potential benefits for pain and function, but results can vary by device and population.
