About this trial

Participants will perform movements while receiving different visual cues. Spinal kinematics will be measured during these movements and compared between asymptomatic and CLBP participants. Participants will come for a unique session.

Eligibility criteria

This trial accepts healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

no history of LBP requiring medical attention during the last two years

no other concomitant pain or condition that could compromise the evaluation of lumbar kinematics.

Disqualifiers

pregnancy

skin allergy to tape

body mass index (BMI) above 32

specific low back pain (such as the presence of infection, rheumatological or neurological diseases, spinal fractures, tumours)

Trial population

CLBP patients will be recruited through a multimodal rehabilitation program at Lausanne University Hospital, medical doctors or physiotherapists' consultations. Healthy controls will be a convenience sample recruited using flyers and emails, notably posted at the Lausanne University Hospital, the University of Health Professions in Lausanne (HESAV) and at the University of Lausanne.
