Alteration in motor control in patients with low back pain and myotonic syndrome of lumbar osteochondrosis

Abstract

Low back pain is one of the most urgent medical and socio-economic problems of society, accompanied by a global increase in the number of years lived with disability (YLDs). The majority of studies associate low back pain with limitation of motor function of the spine and muscle control of the lumbar-pelvic area, however, in a number of reports such a connection was not found. Purpose – to conduct a comparative assessment of orthopedic status and the results of clinical tests of motor control in asymptomatic volunteers and in patients with lumbar osteochondrosis with moderate pain syndrome.
