Abstract
Background: chronic low back pain (CLBP) is considered the most
disabling musculoskeletal disorder with altered functioning of the lumbar
core muscles. Control impairment is the loss of the ability of the core
muscles to prevent excessive movement that happens at the lumbar spine.
Movement impairment and control impairment syndromes are present in
CLBP.
Aim: To determine the presence of movement control impairment
(MVCI) in CLBP in post-menopausal period.
Material and methods: This study was conducted on thirty postmenopausal women with CLBP and control group thirty subjects without
low back pain using inclinometer to measure the uncontrolled movement
during active lumbar flexion and extension.
Results: Revealed statistically significant decrease in the movement
control in both flexion and extension of the study group compared with
that of the control group, and there was a positive correlations between
the degree of MVCI and severity of pain
