Methods.A randomised, controlled trial with single-blind design was conducted. Patients with non-specific LBP for at least 3 months were recruited and randomised into training and control groups. Both groups maintained their current treatment, and the training group participated in an additional programme for 100 h. Measures were performed initially and after completing the programme, and included rating determining impairment associated with pain, Oswestry disability index ODI and functional capacity evaluation FCE. Results.Thirteen in the training group completed the training and measurements, and 12 in the control group completed their measurements. Twelve items in FCE had significant improvement in training group, but only one in control group. Severity of pain 11.8 ± 3.65.6 ± 3.6, activity limitation from pain 3.2 ± 1.51.5 ± 1.1 and emotional disturbance by pain 4.3 ± 1.72.2 ± 1.4 significantly decreased in the training group, no significant change in the control group. The ODI demonstrated a significant reduction p 0.044 in the training group 22 ± 916 ± 9, but not in the control group. Conclusion.An individualised functional training programme benefits chronic LBP patients. ? 2009 Informa UK Ltd All rights reserved.[SDGs]SDG3adult; article; clinical article; clinical effectiveness; clinical trial; controlled clinical trial; controlled study; disease severity; emotional disorder; female; functional status; functional training; human; low back pain; male; Oswestry Disability Index; pain assessment; physical activity; priority journal; randomized controlled trial; rating scale; single blind procedure; treatment duration; treatment outcome; aged; chronic disease; endurance; middle aged; physiotherapy; pilot study; Adult; Aged; Chronic Disease; Female; Humans; Low Back Pain; Male; Middle Aged; Physical Endurance; Physical Therapy Modalities; Pilot Projects; Single-Blind Method; Treatment Outcomejournal article10.1080/09638280802511047198029262-s2.0-70350447236
