N2 - Background: During challenging standing conditions, people with chronic low back pain (CLBP) demonstrate greater postural instability compared to asymptomatic individuals. These differences are proposed as an underpinning mechanism in CLBP and suggest balance training may be an effective treatment. If rocker sole shoes, with unstable soles, serve as an effective balance training device, they may offer clinical benefit to people with CLBP.
