Brief summary: Low back pain is a common problem in society and causes loss of workforce. Its lifetime prevalence reaches 80% and annual hospital admission rates in the adult population reach 15%.Most studies on motor imagery suggested the effects of motor imagery are related to neuroplastic changes in the brain. Studies have shown that similar brain regions are activated during motor imagery and real movement. However, the level of evidence about the effect of motor imagery on autonomic functions is limited. Today, interest in telerehabilitation has increased due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

The aim of this study is to examine the effects of telerehabilitation-based motor imagery training in patients with non-specific low back pain.
