Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
<p>The patients with chronic low back pain will be categorized into two subgroups<br /><br>between CS+ and CS-. This will be carried out with the central sensitization<br /><br>inventory (CSI) based on standardized cut-off scores. Main endpoints will be<br /><br>tested in the movement laboratories of both the UMCG-Beatrixoord (patients) and<br /><br>Saxion university of applied sciences (healthy controls). Movement analyses<br /><br>will be performed using Vicon movement analysis system. To test differences in<br /><br>motor control between the groups, we will apply Principal Component Analyses to<br /><br>measure and compare their loadings using motion capture data. </p><br>
