Summary

Nowadays, the research priority in low back pain area have been find subgroup of patients with the same characteristics that might achieve better outcomes in a specific intervention. However, even though the studies in this area have increased, questions of this nature remaining without an adequate answer, or with limited evidence. Therefore, the investigators propose to examine the ability of clinical tests, developed to assess alterations related to clinical lumbar instability, to identify subgroups of patients with non specific chronic low back pain that may have better outcomes after a motor control exercises intervention.

Conditions

  • Chronic Low Back Pain

Interventions

OTHER

Motor Control Exercises

Subjects performed 8 weeks of motor control exercises intervention, 2 weekly 1 hour per session, instructed by trained physiotherapists to apply this program following a protocol developed in programs previously reported (Costa et al. 2009; Hodges et al. 2009). The first stage aims to improve the activity of muscles that have poor control and reduce overactivity of superficial muscles, previously assessed, through drawing in maneuver with feedback real-time ultrasound and via palpation. The second stage of the treatment involved more functional exercises, first using static and then dynamic tasks.
