Dual-Task Neuromuscular Warm-Up Exercises in Chronic Low Back Pain
8. august 2026 oppdatert av: Yunus Emre Tutuneken, Istinye University
Immediate Effects of Dual-Task Neuromuscular Warm-Up Exercises on Balance and Proprioception in Individuals With Chronic Nonspecific Low Back Pain: A Randomized Controlled Study
This study aims to investigate the immediate effects of dual-task neuromuscular warm-up exercises on balance and proprioception in individuals with chronic nonspecific low back pain.
Participants will be randomly assigned to either a dual-task neuromuscular warm-up exercise group or a neuromuscular warm-up exercise group.
Both groups will also receive the same conventional physiotherapy program.
Balance, proprioception, lumbar muscle properties, pressure pain threshold, and flexibility will be assessed before and after the intervention to determine whether adding cognitive tasks to neuromuscular warm-up exercises provides additional immediate benefits.

Beskrivelse
Inclusion Criteria:
- Diagnosed with nonspecific low back pain persisting for at least 3 months.
- Pain intensity of ≥3 on the Visual Analog Scale (VAS).
- Sufficient cognitive ability to understand and follow verbal and written instructions in Turkish.

- Willingness to participate and provision of written informed consent.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Acute disc herniation, spinal stenosis, spondylolysis, or spondylolisthesis.
- Previous spinal surgery or a history of severe trauma affecting the spine.

Eksperimentell: Dual-Task Neuromuscular Warm-Up Exercise Group
|
Participants will perform neuromuscular warm-up exercises combined with cognitive tasks, including single-leg balance with backward counting, squats with word generation, tandem walking with counting, balance pad standing with a memory task, and step-up exercises with a reaction task.
Participants will also receive the same conventional physiotherapy program, including hot pack, TENS, therapeutic exercises, and breathing exercises.

Participants will perform the same neuromuscular warm-up exercises without cognitive tasks, including single-leg balance, squats, tandem walking, balance pad standing, and step-up exercises.
Participants will also receive the same conventional physiotherapy program, including hot pack, TENS, therapeutic exercises, and breathing exercises.
