Recurrent Low Back Pain:Linking Mechanisms to Outcomes
Completed
Conditions studied: Low Back Pain
In brief
The purpose of this study is to determine if trunk neuromuscular control strategies are changed by therapeutic exercises emphasizing core stabilization. Hypothesis: subjects with low back pain who demonstrate clinically meaningful improvements in function and pain will have significantly improved trunk motor control strategies. Hypothesis: measures of trunk control will demonstrate 'construct-validity'. This will be tested using a known group method demonstrating: * no significant change in motor control measures within the untreated, healthy control group. * significant changes within the low back subjects who demonstrate clinically meaningful improvements.
