Aandoening
Non-specific low back pain is a pain syndrome, however the exactly cause is not known. Probably there are several factors that contribute to this pain syndrome. The last several years, people are interest to divide non-specific low back pain patients in different subgroups. Because these different subgroups need probably different specific treatments. In physiotherapy treatment the most attention focused on disbalans between back and belly muscles. This project will focus on validation of technology to improve the diagnosis of non-specific low back pain by physiotherapists. Ultrasound, surface electromyography and 3D accelerometry will be validated to improve distinguishing of subgroups of non-specific low back pain patients by physiotherapists.
