Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: group control; age between 18 and 59 years; physically inactive; deny history of systemic diseases that limit or contraindicate the walk tests; or chronic or acute musculoskeletal disorders in the lower limbs and/or spine; chronic low back pain groups; age between 18 and 59 years; physically inactive; persistent low back pain for more than three months; physical characteristics compatible with mechanical etiology according to the evaluation and treatment guidelines proposed by the American College of Physicians and the American Pain Society
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: History of spinal surgery; pregnancy; lack of safe hemodynamic conditions for walking or clinical tests; significant increase in pain during the tests, making walking an intolerant activity according to the volunteer's perception; worsening of the chronic condition on the day of the test; symptoms of acute illnesses such as colds and flu; body mass index greater than 35.0
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| It is expected that the groups that receive neuromuscular electrostimulation and lumbopelvic stabilization training show an increase in trunk extension strength, verified in the isometric strength and resistance test in extension, when compared to the groups that do not receive the stimulus. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| It is expected that the groups that receive neuromuscular electrostimulation and lumbopelvic stabilization training present a decrease in low back pain, identified by the intensity of pain measured by the visual analogue scale, when compared to the groups that do not receive the stimulus.;It is expected that the groups that receive neuromuscular electrical stimulation and lumbopelvic stabilization training show improvements in biopsychosocial and functional aspects, quantified by the “STarT Back Screening Tool” questionnaire, when compared to the groups that do not receive the stimulus. | — |
