Summary
To determine if there is any carry over difference with sensation training to the low back for patients with low back pain with the addition of a training at home. This will be looked at to see if there is a difference in pain or back / leg movement right after the training and in a few days after doing some exercises at home.
Detailed description
In a previous case series patients with chronic Low Back Pain (LBP) who received tactile acuity training to their lower back in the absence of movement, experienced immediate positive changes in pain ratings and spinal movements. These changes, however, where only measured immediate post-intervention. This study aims to use a similar design of sensory discrimination for LBP, but will include a sensory discrimination home exercise program and compare groups at a follow-up visit for any difference between groups (48-96 hours) of the immediate changes. Changes will be assessed for pain and back and leg movement.
