About

This study evaluates the effects of self-learning exercise from multimedia content on pain and disability in patients with low back pain.

Full description

For see the full effect of exercise treatment, exercise adherence should be high. In patients with chronic non-specific low back pain, the complex nature of the core-stabilization exercises decrease the exercise adherence. Some novel studies show that multimedia learning can increase efficiancy of complex skill learning and can be better from classic face to face learning.

So this study evaluates the effects of self-learning exercise from multimedia content on pain and disability in patients with low back pain.
