British Journal of Sports Medicine, 11/09/09
Bray H et al. – RT was similar across participants and tasks (n.s.). Accuracy was not. Patients with bilateral back pain made more mistakes on the left/right trunk rotation task than patients with unilateral back pain did, who in turn made more mistakes on that task than controls did. The mean (95% confidence interval) accuracy for left/right trunk rotation judgements was 53.4% for bilateral back pain patients, 67.2% for unilateral back pain patients and 87% for control participants. This pattern was not observed on the left/right hand judgement task, on which all three groups made correct judgements about 83% of the time (n.s.). Chronic back pain is associated with disruption of the working body schema of the trunk. This might be an important contributor to motor control abnormalities seen in this population.
