| Abstract |
Background: Patients with low back pain (LBP) have poorly coordinated neuromuscular
control, which may alter the normal postural stability of the spine. Altered movement control
may occur at any stage of LBP.
Purpose: (1) To identify differences in balance control and proprioceptive sense between
subacute non-specific LBP (NSLBP) patients with and without lumbar instability (LI) and
healthy subjects and (2) to investigate the correlation between factors of motor control
deficits and balance.
Patients and Methods: Thirty-six participants matched by gender, age, and body mass
index (BMI) were allocated into three groups of 12: subacute NSLBP patients with LI,
subacute NSLBP patients without LI, and healthy subjects. Balance, proprioceptive sense,
pain, functional disability, and fear of movement were evaluated.
Results: Subacute NSLBP patients with LI exhibited greater impairments in balance control,
proprioceptive sense, and functional ability than patients without LI (p<0.05). Subacute
NSLBP patients showed more impairments in balance control, proprioceptive sense, and
fear of movement than healthy subjects (p<0.001), with the following effect sizes (partial η2
)
for static balance on stable and unstable surface: 0.597 and 0.560, anticipatory balance:
0.417, and dynamic balance: 0.536; proprioceptive sense: 0.676; and fear of movement:
0.379. Significant fair correlations were found between (1) static balance and proprioceptive
sense, functional disability, and fear of movement; (2) functional reach test (FRT) and pain;
and (3) the five times sit to stand test (FTSTS) and functional disability.
Conclusion: Subacute NSLBP patients with LI showed greater impairment in balance
control than patients without LI. Reduced proprioceptive sense, increased pain, functional
disability, and fear of movement were fairly related to impaired balance. |
