Objective: Chronic low back pain CLBP causes disability and postural control deficits. Since suffering from pain, disability and impaired postural control, patients decrease their physical activity levels. The aim of this study was to examine the effects of computer-based stability training on pain, disability, postural control and physical activity in patients with CLBP and compare them with traditional training. Methods: Forty-two participants with a history of CLBP were recruited and divided into two groups randomly. Computer-based stability training was applied to study group by help of computer-based device two times a week for 12 weeks while traditional training was done to another group. Pain and disability were assessed by Numeric Pain Scale and Oswestry Disability Index, respectively. Limits of stability LoS and postural stability PS tests were used to evaluate postural control by Biodex Balance System and SenseWear Armband was used for physical activity assessment. All measurements were applied before and after the training. Results: Significant improvements occurred in LoS and PS scores in both groups after interventions p
