Abstract: A computerized stabilometer was used to evaluate the balance function of 31 subjects with healthy backs and 3l subjects with chronic low back pain. According to the difference of age and sex,they were divided into 2 groups equally. They were told that the feet stood side by side and stood separately with eyes opened and closed. The sensitivity and applying value of all of the test parameters were analyzed. The result showed that the stabilization of the subjects with chronic low back pain was poorer than the healthy subjects. The parameters, such as Sx, Sy, MS, PL, CA and AS, were sensitive, and feet stood side by side was more sensitive than feet stood separately.

Key words: balance function, chronic low back pain
