Effect of postural threat on motor control in people with and without low back pain.

Wildenbeest MH, Kiers H, Tuijt M, van Dieën JHAbstract
Negative pain-related cognitions are associated with persistence of low-back pain (LBP), but the mechanism underlying this association is not well understood. We propose that negative pain-related cognitions determine how threatening a motor task will be perceived, which in turn will affect how lumbar movements are performed, possibly with negative long-term effects on pain.
