Brief summary (from the registry)
This study investigates the effects of a 4-week virtual reality (VR)-based back school program on pain, disability, fear of movement, and lumbar joint position sense (JPS) in individuals with chronic low back pain. Thirty-nine participants are allocated to either a VR-based back school group or a conventional back school group. Both groups perform supervised low back exercises. Pain, disability, proprioception, kinesiophobia, and perceived cognitive deficits are assessed before and after the intervention.
