Why is it important?

this experiment is the first to link the improvement in low back pain and improvement in proprioception, previous studies were mostly about the existence of proprioception errors in cases of LBP. this study is the first to suggest the effectiveness of Mulligan concept lumbar SNAG on proprioception of the lumbar spine, so it may be a proposed mechanism explaining the success of such technique.
