Study Summary

The overall goal of this project is to develop sensitive and objective clinical research tools for the assessment of trunk motor control. In order to accomplish this goal, the investigators aim to quantify changes in trunk motor control before and after spinal manipulation treatment. The investigators hypothesize that trunk motor control will improve in the low back pain participants after 4-weeks of spinal manipulation treatment. Additionally, the investigators will compare position and force trunk motor control between healthy controls and low back pain patients. The investigators hypothesize that baseline tests of position and force trunk motor control will be better in healthy individuals than low back pain patients.

Primary Outcome

Participants will be in a seated position during the position tracking task and will wear a chest harness with an attached position sensor. The angular position of the trunk will be displayed on a monitor 1 meter in front of the participants and they will be asked to follow a moving target by moving their trunk. Accuracy will be determined by taking the difference between the target position signal and the actual trunk position (measured in degrees with string potentiometers).
