The relationship between pain experience and biomechanical impairment in chronic low back pain (LBP) is unclear. Among the broader pain literature, sex-based differences in pain experience have been established. However, it is unknown if sex-based differences in pain experience relates to compromised movement patterns for patients with chronic LBP. This study examined sex differences and whether there are sex-based associations between pain experience and biomechanical function in patients with chronic LBP.
