Brief summary
Low back pain is one of the most prevalent pain conditions worldwide. Virtual reality-based training has been explored as a new treatment strategy for low back pain. Present evidence indicates that the effectiveness of virtual reality-based training for people with chronic low back pain is inconclusive. All patients will be recruited from the faculty of physical therapy at the October 6 University All the assessment measurements will be done at the Faculty of Physical Therapy, October 6 University
Interventions
DEVICEVR (VR-Control)
uses immersive, computer-generated environments and virtual reality headsets to simulate real-world situations, allowing trainees to practice skills in a safe, interactive, and risk-free setting. This technology offers advantages like cost savings, reduced risk in hazardous situations, better learning retention through hands-on experience, and the ability to repeat scenarios for proficiency.
OTHERBalance training
Balance exercises that can help with low back pain include single-leg standing, heel-to-toe walking, calf raises, bird-dogs, and bridges, which strengthen the core muscles and improve overall stability. Start by holding onto a sturdy object for support and gradually increase the difficulty by moving to less stable surfaces or closing your eyes.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Biodex balance system | one week | The Biodex Balance System (BBS) has been used to evaluate postural balance. The BBS is a multiaxial device that objectively measures and records an individual's ability to stabilise the involved joint under dynamic stress. It uses a circular platform that is free to move in the anterior-posterior and medial-lateral axes simultaneously |
| Forward reach test | one week | The forward reach test is a clinical assessment that measures a person's ability to reach forward while standing in a fixed position to gauge their stability and fall risk. To perform the test, a patient stands next to a wall with their arm raised and fist closed, and they reach as far as possible along a yardstick or meter stick without moving their feet or losing their balance. |
