[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to clarify the immediate effects of motor control training with visual feedback on lumbopelvic motion during an active hip abduction test in subjects with recurrent low back pain. [Participants and Methods] Thirty patients were divided into two groups: one group received visual feedback on pelvic motion and performed hip abduction exercise, and the other group performed hip abduction exercise without visual feedback. [Results] The visual feedback group showed an increase in contralateral oblique abdominal muscle activity and a decrease in pelvic elevation during hip abduction after the intervention. [Conclusion] The results suggest that the motor control training with visual feedback immediately inhibited excessive pelvic movement.
