Interventions

None listed

Eligibility

Age

18 Years to 99 Years

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: aspecific low back pain for at least 6 weeks age 18-65

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: previous spine surgery any conditions, other than LBP, that interfere with trunk posture, or that render the patient too unfit to be tested or unable to understand or adhere to the experimental protocol.

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Main study parameters will be the differences between LBP patients and healthy control subjects in 1. kinematic variability (standard deviation of trunk angle) 2. trunk muscle recruitment (EMG amplitudes and ratios of different muscle groups) 3. stiffness of the trunk (estimated based on kinematic responses to external forces)	—
