The inclusion criteria for low back pain subjects are 1) more than 7 weeks continuing or recurrent low back pain, and 2) pain localized from the costal margin to above the inferior gluteal folds. To assess whether subjects show a lumbar extennsionrotation pattern, a physical therapist examines their lumbar motions and alignments in response to several different tests, based on Sahrmann (2002). If subject responses increase symptoms and/or pain with lumbar extension and rotation during trunk or lower extremity movement, they are classified as the lumbar extension rotation pattern.
Exclusion criteria are ) pain radiating to the leg or both legs with neurological signs, 2) diagnosis of lumbar disc herniation, spinal deformity, or fracture 3) having a history of back surgery, and 4) limitations in walking because of a lower extremity injury.
