Low back pain (LBP) is a common musculoskeletal disorder such that 70∼85% of people experience LBP at least once in their lifetime. With advances in Internet and mobile technology, digital intervention for LBP has emerged as a new treatment method that allows patients to actively participate in treatment at home using digital devices. Several studies on digital interventions have reported improvements in pain by up to 68%, on disability scales by up to 55%, and also in other significant areas such as quality of life and psychological well-being. In particular, mobile application-based treatment was effective, and treatment including exercise therapy had a distinct effect. Also, studies have shown that interactions between healthcare provider and patient, and immediate audiovisual feedback following analysis of the patients’ motions can enhance the therapeutic effect. Evidence-based digital care for patients with LBP is an effective method of treatment and is expected to advance further in the future.
