Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: The inclusion criteria for CNSLBP group were: 1. repeated low back pain lasting more than 3 months; 2. the age range of 18-45 years; 3. visual analogue score (VAS) is more than 3; 4. Body Mass Index (BMI) is within normal range. Healthy controls will be matched to subjects with CLBP based on the age, sex, height, weight and BMI.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: The exclusion criteria for chronic low back pain group were: 1. arthritis, tumor, neurological disease, fracture, intervertebral disc herniation, ankylosing spondylitis, rheumatism and other diseases with clear causes; 2. other diseases that may lead to motor disorders, such as vestibular dysfunction; 3. Serious neurological or psychiatric disorders 4. pregnant woman. Exclusion criteria for the healthy controls were acute and/or recurrent low back pain within the last 3 months and a history of chronic pain episodes.
