ABSTRACT

Background: Low back pain (LBP) is a prevalent condition with significant impacts on individuals' quality of life and productivity. Various therapeutic interventions have been explored to alleviate LBP, among which inclined board standing has gained attention for its potential effects on the centre of gravity (CoG) of the human body.

Methodology: This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the existing literature on the effects of inclined board standing on CoG and its association with LBP. Relevant studies were identified through electronic databases and screened based on predetermined inclusion criteria.

Results: A total of 16 articles were included in the review, encompassing randomized controlled trials, observational studies, and systematic reviews. The review discusses the biomechanical principles underlying CoG alterations during inclined board standing, as well as the potential mechanisms by which this intervention may influence LBP. Additionally, methodological considerations, clinical implications, and future research directions are discussed.

Conclusion: Overall, the findings suggest that inclined board standing has the potential to modulate CoG positioning and may offer therapeutic benefits for individuals with LBP. However, further research is needed to elucidate its long-term effects and optimal implementation strategies.
