A large subgroup of patients with chronic non-specific low back pain have motor control impairments. During motor control exercises, different forms of external feedback can be used to support training. This randomized controlled trial will investigate the effectiveness of different forms of external feedback during the learning phase of a motor control task for the lumbar spine in healthy subjects and patients with chronic non-specific low back pain (CNSLBP). Both healthy subjects and patients with CNSLBP will be randomized into three groups: one group will receive feedback from motion sensors, one group from a mirror and one group will receive no feedback (control group). A single session intervention with measurements at baseline and immediately post-intervention will be used.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sensor-based postural feedback | Experimental | Subjects will receive visual feedback on a computer screen while practicing the motor control task. The feedback is based on information from from motion sensors that mointor the movements of the lumbar spine |
|
| Mirror Feedback | Experimental | Subjects will receive feedback from a mirror while practicing the motor control task |
|
| control group | Active Comparator | Subjects will receive no feedback while practicing the motor control task |
|
| Name | Type | Description | Arm Group Labels | Other Names |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sensor-based postural feedback | Other | Motion tracking sensors will provide feedback to subjects during the learning phase of a motor control task |
|
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Change in lumbopelvic kinematics from baseline to immediately post-intervention | Kinematics will be assessed using motion sensors that are mounted on the skin at the spinous processes of L1 and S1, and at the femur. | Day 1, immediately post-intervention |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| usefulness of feedback (Numeric rating scale 0-10) | How useful was the feedback that was provided to the subjects during the exercise trials? | Day 1, immediately post-intervention |
| Pain during the exercise trials (Numeric rating scale 0-10) |
