Motor control exercise similar to other forms of exercise for chronic non-specific low-back pain

Although the quality of evidence varied among the outcomes and time periods investigated, there was low to moderate quality evidence that motor control exercise was more effective than a minimal intervention for chronic non-specific low-back pain. There was very low to low quality evidence that motor control exercise was more effective than exercise plus electrophysical agents. There was moderate to high quality evidence that motor control exercise provided similar outcomes to manual therapies and low to moderate quality evidence that it provided similar outcomes to other forms of exercise. As motor control exercise is safe and not superior to other forms of exercise, the choice of exercise for chronic non-specific low-back pain should depend on patient or therapist preferences, therapist training, costs and safety.
