The aim of this investigation was to evaluate the impact of a Sacroiliac Belt (SB) on balance and stability in patients with LBP.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Methods<\/jats:title>\n Subjects with LBP and without LBP (\u201cAsymptomatic\u201d) were enrolled. Baseline balance was assessed using the Berg Balance Scale. In a counterbalanced crossover design, LBP and Asymptomatic subjects were randomized to one of two groups: 1) start with wearing the SB (Serola Biomechanics, Inc.) followed by not wearing the SB or 2) start without wearing the SB followed by wearing the SB. For subjects in both groups, dynamic balance was then assessed using the Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT) with each leg planted.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n Baseline balance was worse in LBP subjects (Berg 51\/56) than Asymptomatic subjects (Berg 56\/56) (p<0.01). SB significantly improved SEBT performance in LBP subjects regardless of which leg was planted (p<0.01). SB positively impacted Asymptomatic subjects\u2019 SEBT performance with the left leg planted (p=0.0002).<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n The Serola Sacroiliac Belt positively impacted dynamic balance for subjects with low back pain. Further research is needed to examine additional interventions and outcomes related to balance in patients with back pain, and to elucidate the mechanisms behind improvements in balance related to sacroiliac belt utilization.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.52965\/001c.116960","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,4,29]],"date-time":"2024-04-29T21:19:24Z","timestamp":1714425564000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Impact of Sacroiliac Belt Utilization on Balance in Patients with Low Back Pain"],"prefix":"10.52965","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Alan H.","family":"Daniels","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/05gq02987","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"Brown University","department":["Warren Alpert Medical School"]},{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/01aw9fv09","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"Rhode Island Hospital","department":["Division of Spine Surgery, Department of Orthopaedic Surgery"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alexander M.","family":"Park","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/03dkvy735","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"New York Medical College"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"David J.","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/02dgjyy92","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"University of Miami"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mohammad","family":"Daher","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/05gq02987","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"Brown University","department":["Warren Alpert Medical School"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bassel G.","family":"Diebo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/05gq02987","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"Brown University","department":["Warren Alpert Medical School"]},{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/01aw9fv09","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"Rhode Island Hospital","department":["Division of Spine Surgery, Department of Orthopaedic Surgery"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alexios","family":"Carayannopoulos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/01aw9fv09","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"Rhode Island Hospital","department":["Division of Spine Surgery, Department of Orthopaedic Surgery"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"30777","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,4,30]]},"reference":[{"issue":"3","key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"215","DOI":"10.1097\/BRS.0b013e31819577dc","article-title":"Effectiveness of a Lumbar Belt in Subacute Low Back Pain: An Open, Multicentric, and Randomized Clinical Study","volume":"34","author":"P.
