[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of a Nintendo Wii
exercise program on chronic work-related LBP compared with stability exercise. [Methods]
Twenty-four workers participated in this study. All of the participants were diagnosed
with chronic LBP by a physician. Participants were randomly assigned to three groups: a
control group (CG), lumbar stabilization exercise group (LSE), and Nintendo Wii exercise
group (NWE). Participants were treated 3 times a week for 8 weeks. Each session lasted 30
minutes. [Results] The results demonstrated that exercise programs improved significantly
physical functions related to LBP. In health-related QOL, the Nintendo Wii exercise
program significantly improved both the mental and physical health composites, but other
groups had significant improvement only in the physical health composite. [Conclusion] The
Nintendo Wii exercise program could be a biopsychosocial intervention for work-related LBP
in factory workers.
