Acute effects of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation exercises on the postural strategy in patients with chronic low back pain

CONCLUSION: A single session of PNF exercise may have a beneficial effect on pain and postural control in CLBP patients.

Postural movements were more automatized in OLST in the delayed test.PMID:34246129 | DOI:10.1016/j.ctcp.2021.101439
