Conditions

There are three experimental groups: chronic low back pain, healthy, and lumbar instability. Healthy participants are defined as individuals who have had no history of low back pain for at least six months. Chronic low back pain is characterized as individuals who have experienced low back pain for a minimum of three months, with their pain level measured on a numerical pain scale ranging from 3 to 7 points. Lumbar instability participants are individuals who have previously experienced c
