Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Expected result 1: Motor units actvation (RMS: root mean square): measured in microvolts (uV). The electromyographic (EMG) assessment will be realized a week before and after the intervention. After the treatment is expected that individuals with low back pain will have an improvement in motor units activation of all evaluated muscles.—

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Expected result 1: Pain level (VAS- visual analog scale), 0-10 centimeters. The clinical assessment will be realized a week before and after the intervention. It's expected improvement in all measurements of clinical assessment. ;Expected result 2: Fear avoidance and beliefs questionnaire (FABQW), 0-42 points. The clinical assessment will be realized a week before and after the intervention. It's expected improvement in all measurements of clinical assessment. ;Expected result 3: Incapacity level (Oswestry), 0-100%. The clinical assessment will be realized a week before and after the intervention. It's expected improvement in all measurements of clinical assessment. ;Expected result 4: Quality of life scale (SF-12), 0-100 points. The clinical assessment will be realized a week before and after the intervention. It's expected improvement in all measurements of clinical assessment.—
