The relationship between proprioception deficit and mechanical low back pain still not well-known. Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate whether or not there is a proprioception deficit in mechanical low back pain and if it would be approved there was a proprioception deficit, attention would be paid to focus on proprioception training for patients with mechanical low back pain in physiotherapy program, in addition to that correlation study on factors which might affect accuracy of proprioception like age, gender, body mass index and correlation of proprioception accuracy with pain intensity were done. Methods In this study, 130 persons (65 patients with mechanical low back pain and 65 normal persons) were chosen for the study 23 were excluded and 107 were assigned into two groups. Group A: fifty three patients (17 females and 36 males) with mechanical low back pain were included in this group. The mean ± SD age, weight, height were 22.08 ± 1.920 years, 74.28± 13.410 kg, 172.92 ± 8.546 cm respectively. Group B: Fifty four normal subjects (11 females and 43 males) were included in this group. The mean ± SD age, weight, height were 21.11 ± 1.755 years, 72. 93 ± 13.548 kg, 174.02 ± 7.735 cm respectively UR - http://172.23.153.220/th.pdf ER -
