Effectiveness of motor control exercises with and without whole-body vibration on pain, postural stability, and trunk muscle activation in individuals with nonspecific low back pain: a randomized controlled trial.

Key Points

• The aim is to evaluate the effectiveness of motor control exercises alone and combined with whole-body vibration on pain, postural stability, and trunk muscle activation in individuals with nonspecific low back pain.
• Randomized controlled trial design
• Comparison of motor control exercises with and without whole-body vibration
• Assessment of pain, postural stability, and trunk muscle activation pre- and post-intervention
• Both interventions improved pain levels and postural stability
• Trunk muscle activation was enhanced in both groups
• The combination of exercises and vibration provided marginally better pain relief than exercises alone
