Thoracolumbar proprioception in individuals with and without low back pain: intratester reliability, clinical applicability, and validity.
Repeated measures design of active spinal position sense in individuals with and without low back pain (LBP). ⋯ Proprioception testing, with the methods employed, did not demonstrate good measurement properties in a sample of patients with recurrent LBP. Neither could it sufficiently discriminate between individuals with and without LBP. Possible reasons for these findings are discussed.
