Summary

This study aims to verify the effects of a segmental stabilization exercise program on the anticipatory postural adjustment of subjects with chronic lumbar pain. The effects will be assessed by means of superficial electromyography focused on the registry of the onset of multifidius and deltoid (anterior and posterior) activity during a repetitive shoulder flexion/extension.

Conditions

• Lumbar Pain

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Segmental Stabilization Exercises	The stabilization program focuses on the reestablishment of motor control and coordination between deep and superficial trunk muscles. The exercise program is based on the following criteria progression: 1) Precise contraction of the transverse abdominal and multifidus muscles, keeping the lumbar spine in a neutral position (as the middle way between maximum flexion and extension, repeated three times); 2) Keep the neutral position for 10 repetitions of 10 seconds; 3) Perform exercises with lower limbs in different postures.
OTHER	Home Exercises	Home exercises include passive stretching and active mobilization of the spine.
