Summary

Lumbopelvic movement control is crucial for movement stability during weight loading training, and also an important risk factor for the occurrence and recurrence of low back pain (LBP). Previous studies indicated that athletes with LBP had poorer lumbopelvic movement control, and the deficits in lumbopelvic control could be remained after LBP remission. However, there has been no study investigating the effect of LBP history (LBPH) on the performance of the loaded squatting task, and lumbopelvic movement control in people who practice regular weight training.

Therefore, the aims of this study are to examine the differences in lumbopelvic movement control, kinematics and muscle activation during the loaded squatting task in weight training practitioners with LBP, LBPH, and asymptomatic controls, to compare the cortical control mechanisms between 3 types of motor control training strategies, and to investigate the intervention effect of motor control training on restoring the lumbopelvic movement control and squatting performance.

Conditions

  • Biomechanical Phenomena

Interventions

OTHER

core muscle training

The intervention of this group will focus on training the endurance of the core muscle.

OTHER

movement control training

Based from the initial test, the subjects will receive either lumbar flexion control exercise or lumbar extension control exercise. They will perform each lumbar movement control exercise in different position. Starting from the lying position, then progressing to sitting, standing with support, and the last level will be standing without support. Each set of movement will be practiced 10 times, totally 10 sets. It will take approximately 5\~8 minutes to finish each movement. The subjects will learn 5\~8 types of the movement every week.

OTHER

combined imagery and movement control training

The intervention of this group is mostly same as the movement control training group. The different part is that the first 3 times of the movement will be practiced through image training, so the subjects will not have any real movement, and the last 7 times they will perform the lumbar motor control exercise literally. Each set of movement will be practiced 10 times, totally 10 sets. It will take approximately 5\~8 minutes to finish each movement. The subjects will learn 5\~8 types of the movement every week.
