Purpose: In this study, we investigated the effects of visual feedback-based eccentric pulley training (EPT) on motion speed and pressure pain threshold (PPT) changes in patients with low back pain (LBP). Methods: Participants were randomly categorized into the visual feedback-based EPT (VF-EPT) group, EPT group, and the eccentric training (ET) group with 18 participants in each group. All participants underwent 30 min of training per session, thrice a week for 4 weeks. For evaluation of motion speed, participants underwent assessment of the motion speed of trunk rotation, squat and trunk rotation, single-leg deadlift, and seated lat pull-down motions. The PPT was measured for pain evaluation. Results: All groups showed statistically significant changes in motion speed (p<0.05); however, we observed no significant intergroup differences. PPT was statistically significant in the VF-EPT group (p<0.05), and we observed significant intergroup differences (p<0.05). Conclusion: This study highlights that visual feedback training can effectively improve motion speed and pain control in patients with LBP.
