Postural sway in low back pain: Effects of dual tasks
Gait and Posture, 10/29/09

Mazaheri M et al. – Increasing postural difficulty was associated with higher % determinism, higher entropy and lower trend in anteroposterior (AP) and mediolateral (ML) directions in people with LBP and healthy participants. All RQA variables in the ML direction decreased as cognitive conditions became more difficult. Significant interactions between group and cognitive difficulty were shown for % recurrence, % determinism and trend in the AP direction. While healthy participants decreased % recurrence and trend by increasing the level of cognitive difficulty, the low back pain (LBP) patients did not. This preliminary study suggests that LBP may be one factor that modulates the posture–cognition interaction.
