Falls efficacy and directional postural sway responses during the sensory organization test in adults with nonspecific chronic low back pain

Although sway excursion decreased slightly across repeated trials, postural deficits in the CLBP group were exacerbated under multisensory conflicts, particularly in the ML direction. These findings highlight the need for balance strategies that address both sensory integration and psychological factors, such as fear of falling, to improve postural stability.
