Abstract

Background and Aims: Non-specific low back pain (NLBP) is one of the most common musculoskeletal disorders and the International Association for Pain and Anatomical Diagnosis has defined it as a lumbar or sacrum pain. According to the results of the previous studies, 84% of people has experienced back pain and 23% of these pains become chronic. The purpose of the present review study was to investigate the relationship between lumbopelvic motor control disorders and chronic non-specific low back pain.
Materials and Methods: In the current review paper, a comprehensive search was conducted in PubMed, Science Direct, Google Scholar, Elsevier, Springer, IEEE, EBSCO, and Scopus databases from 2000 to 2018, using the following keywords lumbopelvic control, lumbopelvic, trunk stability, lumbopelvic motor control, trunk control, and spinal stability. A total of 1900 articles were found after reviewing the abstract and titles. Next, based on the main subject of the present study as well as inclusion and exclusion criteria, seven articles were selected for the final analysis.
Results: All studies selected for the final review were case-control studies. Five articles investigated the kinematic aspects of lumbopelvic movements control two of which, in addition to the kinematic evaluation of lumbopelvic movements control, assessed the activity of the lumbopelvic region muscles.
Conclusion: According to the results reported in these seven papers, we showed that lumbopluvic movement control disorders are commonly reported in patients with chronic low back pain. So, more studies should be conducted to better understand the issue.
