Outcome measures
Primary outcome
this study kinetics, EMG and psychosocial parameters are recorded. The
recordings will be made through trials of different tasks. Static posture and
dynamic exercises will be used in the trials. From these recordings the degree
of loss of complexity and postural control can be assessed. Besides this,
psychosocial factors for the maintenance of the chronic low back pain will be
assessed.
Secondary outcome
Not applicable
Background summary
The rationale for this study is to examine how chronic low back patients are
performing in static and dynamic postural control tasks and if the patients are
influenced by *loss of complexity*. It is hypothesized that chronic low back
patients have a decreased complexity in their postural control, which will be a
sign for decreased functionality.
Study objective
The objectives for this study is to look into the postural control for chronic
low back pain patients during different tasks and record physiological and
psychosocial data from the patients.
Study design
The study is designed to be an observational case-control study with a group of
low back pain patients and a group of healthy controls participating. No
intervention is carried out.
Study burden and risks
For this study, the burden and risk is negligible for the participant. The
tasks to perform are quiet stance or tasks reflecting daily life activity (e.g.
walking). Throughout the experiment participants will be guided what to do and
breaks will be given regularly. All subjects are volunteers and have the right
to withdraw at any time. Participants have to answer an anonymous questionnaire
and all data collected will be stored with a subject code, which is not
possible to track back to the name or date of birth of the subject. The group
of patients investigated in this study is chronic low back pain patients. The
influence of chronic low back pain on movement and posture is the focus of the
study, and it is not possible to do this experiment without these specific
patients.
