Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: To be eligible to participate in this study, the NSCLBP subject must meet all of the following criteria, all in line with patient profile 2, Royal Dutch Guidelines for LBP [5]: Low back pain >=12 weeks, without dominant presence of central sensitization measured with the Central Sensitization Inventory (CSI >=39) [48], at least moderated pain during lumbopelvic flexion measured with the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS >=4) in the lumbosacral region with or without radiating pain in the gluteal region and the upper leg classified with the Quebec Task Force (QTF 1-3) [49], unable in touching the floor (FFD >=4.5cm ) [50], age between 25 and 65 years, Body Mass Index (BMI) range (18,5
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: Excluded are those who do not meet the abovementioned criteria and have or had a specific spinal disease, infection, presence of a tumor, osteoporosis, bone fracture, inflammatory disorder, or cauda equina syndrome, or a hip arthroplasty in the last 6 months [6]. Despite our stations for measuring muscle activity and trunk mobility not having a specific limit, participants weighing more than 150 kg will be excluded from participation due to the exclusion criteria related to the use of a physio plinth capable of supporting a maximum weight of 150 kg. Individuals who previously took part in our SKD-study [52] and/or are familiar with the DAMT-Test procedure as described in the 4xT for LBP shall be excluded from participation [53].
