Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
The primary study parameter is variability of the postural control. Postural control is assessed through force plate kinetics.	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
3D kinematics and EMG are used as secondary parameters. The influence of pain in the lower back alters the muscle activity which is expressed through the EMG but also the kinematic stability.	—
