About 10\u201315% of LBP patients develop chronic symptoms. Proprioceptive deficiency is one of the possible mechanisms for LBP chronicity, and females are more susceptible than males. We can use an unstable sitting balance or Wobble Board Training (WBT) for proprioceptive training of low back. Lumbar postural control is separated from lower limb postural control in this position. So, we aimed to study the effect of proprioceptive exercises in a sitting position on LBP patients, as it wasn\u2019t specified in this position until now.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Materials and Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In this randomized clinical trial, 40 women with Chronic Non-Specific Low Back Pain (CNSLBP) and a mean age of 40.37 \u00b1 4.79 were randomly allocated into the control or intervention group subsequently after checking the inclusion criteria. Participants in the control group were treated with Conventional Physical Therapy (CPT), and participants in the intervention group were treated with CPT + WBT in the sitting position.
