Abstract

Mechanical low back pain is one of the most common disorders affecting the young age population. The affection of proprioception can lead to worsening of the back pain. The effect of gender on the proprioception accuracy in the back did not have enough attention. The purpose was to know the difference of proprioception accuracy in the back region between males and females who suffer from mechanical low back pain. in case of proofing, there is a difference in proprioceptive accuracy between them, a new standard of physiotherapy programs suiting every gender would be provided for their rehabilitation. A representative sample of one hundred seven patients was included and subdivided to Group A (17 females and 36 males) with mechanical low back pain. The mean � SD age, weight, height were 22.56�6.2years, 74.28�13.410kg, 172.92�8.546cm and Group B(11 females and 43 males) who were normal individuals. The mean � SD age, weight, height was 22.66�3.34years, 72.92�13.54kg, 174.01�7.73cm respectively. Active repositioning error was calculated 3 times the Biodex Isokinetic Dynamometer. Results revealed that there was a significant increase in active repositioning error in females regarding males who suffer from mechanical low back pain in Group A as (P=0.002) while there was no significant difference in Active repositioning error between females and males in group B (p=0.16). So it is recommended to perform an intense proprioceptive training for young females regarding males for rehabilitation of the back.
