Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

A large subgroup of patients with chronic non-specific low back pain have motor control impairments. During motor control exercises, different forms of external feedback can be used to support training. This randomized controlled trial will investigate the effectiveness of different forms of external feedback during the learning phase of a motor control task for the lumbar spine in healthy subjects and patients with chronic non-specific low back pain (CNSLBP). Both healthy subjects and patients with CNSLBP will be randomized into three groups: one group will receive feedback from motion sensors, one group from a mirror and one group will receive no feedback (control group). A single session intervention with measurements at baseline and immediately post-intervention will be used.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Sensor-based postural feedback

Subjects will receive visual feedback on a computer screen while practicing the motor control task. The feedback is based on information from from motion sensors that mointor the movements of the lumbar spine

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Sensor-based postural feedback

Intervention Type OTHER

Motion tracking sensors will provide feedback to subjects during the learning phase of a motor control task

Mirror Feedback

Subjects will receive feedback from a mirror while practicing the motor control task

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Mirror feedback

Intervention Type OTHER

Subjects will receive feedback from a mirror during the learning phase of a motor control task

control group

Subjects will receive no feedback while practicing the motor control task

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Control group

Intervention Type OTHER

Subjects will receive no feedback during the learning phase of a motor control task
