Skin Conductance Level
Background summary
In psychological stress research scientists explore the role of stress on physiological outcomes; It is consistently shown that psychological stress accounts for increased muscle activity. However, literature suggest that not muscle activity alone but also motor control deficits are a correlate of aetiology and maintenance in low back pain. To our knowledge, a direct link between psychological stress and (altered) motor control strategies has not been subject of investigation.
Study objective
Acute psychological stressors such as unpleasant pictures alter motor control strategies more heavily compared to neutral and pleasent conditions
Study design
Single measurement point
Intervention
All 60 subjects are exposed to the 3 conditions in random order; unpleasant, neutral and pleasant pictures. The subject views the picture for 5 seconds and subsequently bends forward 5 times.
