Dual-Task Neuromuscular Warm-Up Exercises in Chronic Low Back Pain
8 augusti 2026 uppdaterad 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.

Experimentell: 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.
