This systematic review covered all the relevant literature , but none of the included studies offered a valid , reliable and feasible method to assess neuromotor capacity in everyday physiotherapy clinical practice
BACKGROUND Physiotherapists and clinicians require methods that can be used in everyday practice for measuring proprioception of the trunk in individuals with non-specific low back pain ( NSLBP ) .
OBJECTIVE Our objective was to conduct a systematic literature review of methods used for assessment of proprioception of the trunk in individuals with non-specific low back pain .
Postural sway in low back pain: Effects of dual tasks.
Recurrence quantification analysis ( RQA ) , a nonlinear method of postural analysis , was used to explore the effects of dual-tasking on postural performance in people with nonspecific low back pain ( LBP ) compared with healthy participants .  Postural performance was quantified by RQA % recurrence , % determinism , entropy and trend .  People with nonspecific LBP ( n=22 ) and unimpaired individuals ( n=22 ) r and omly performed quiet st and ing tasks with three levels of difficulty ( rigid-surface eyes open , rigid-surface eyes closed and foam-surface eyes closed ) . These tasks were performed in isolation or concurrently with an easy or difficult cognitive task . Increasing postural difficulty was associated with higher % determinism , higher entropy and lower trend in anteroposterior ( AP ) and mediolateral ( ML ) directions in people with LBP and healthy participants .  All RQA variables in the ML direction decreased as cognitive conditions became more difficult . Significant interactions between group and cognitive difficulty were shown for % recurrence , % determinism and trend in the AP direction . While healthy participants decreased % recurrence and trend by increasing the level of cognitive difficulty , the LBP patients did not . This preliminary study suggests that LBP may be one factor that modulates the posture-cognition interaction
