Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of a balance reeducation protocol and an evidenced based protocol on pain, function and postural control of low back pain patients.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Both groups will perform general exercises for back pain (stretch and strength of paraspinal and abdominal muscles, plus exercises to enhance lumbar and pelvic flexibility but the balance or experimental group will perform in addition five minutes of exercises that challenge postural stability in the sitting position. The evolution of the two groups concerning pain level, function and postural control will be compared.
