Impact of computer augmented feedback on adherence to home-based exercise for LBP
J Bodyw Mov Ther. 2015 Jan;19(1):177-8520 patients with non-specific low back pain were prescribed a home-based exercise program, and were randomized to complete exercises with or without computer augment feedback (AF). The purpose of this study was to examine the potential impact of augmented feedback on adherence to the home-based exercise program. Exercises were estimated to take approximately 10-20 minutes to complete, and patients were ask to complete exercises daily. Mean length of treatment was approximately 7 weeks. Median time spent per day on exercises was 9min4sec in the AF group and 4min19sec in the control group, though the difference was not statistically significant. The entire study population was observed to significantly improve in clinical outcome measures, although without significant differences between groups.
