The paper deals with the issue of uses balancing aids in kinesiotherapy in patients with radicular syndromes in the lumbar region.The goal was to analyze the influence of physiotherapy with balancing aids TOGU roller, on the perception of pain and postural muscle activity deep stability system (DSS) in patients with pain in the lumbar region. A prospective study included 30 patients, including 17 women (56,67 %) and 13 men (43,33 %). As an evaluation tool we choose an Oswestry standardized questionnaire and three tests DSS by Kolář. Before exercise starting, we tested patients and we let them fill the Oswestry questionnaire. After completion of the entire therapy we repeated the procedure of testing. For statistical evaluation we used the Wilcoxon's rank test and the Mann-Whitney's U test. In the whole set came to lowering the pain of 24,55 %, SD 0,05, p = 0,000, in the evaluation of test diaphragm improvement was reported of 46,67 %, SD 0,07, p = 0,002, in extent test 60,01 %, SD 0,1, p = 0,000, in intraabdominal pressure test 63,33 %, SD 0,03, p = 0,000. The results has showed that the use of a TOGU roller balancing aids has an effect on improving the DSS function and also it reduce the perception of pain by the patient.
