Abstract

Low back pain is associated with changes in the organisation and function of the motor system. For example, alterations in motor coordination of the trunk muscles are commonly observed during postural and functional tasks. Recent work suggests that these changes are linked to changes in excitability and organisation of the corticomotor system including the motor cortex. As these changes contribute to the persistence and chronicity of pain, motor exercises have been recommended and are widely used in clinical practice.
