TL;DR: The results demonstrate a loss of discrete motor cortical organization of the paraspinal muscles in chronic LBP that can be identified using noninvasive EMG recordings and suggest that surface EMG positioned at L3 is appropriate for the identification of changes in the motor cortex in LBP.

TL;DR: Wii-therapy was better than SPT in improving standing balance in patients with CP, but improves the balance only in SHE patients, and the effects wane after 2-4 weeks.

TL;DR: It is confirmed that M1 maps differ between people with and without CLBP, but these changes are variable within the CLBP group and are not related to motor and sensory features in a simple manner.

TL;DR: A clinical scale was developed to characterise quality of performance of lumbopelvic motion with limited motion at the thoracolumbar junction and showed that the test is reliable when performed by experienced assessors, but was better when undertaken by experienced therapists.

TL;DR: In this paper, a comprehensive systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted to understand the effect of pain on spinal and supraspinal projections to motoneurons and motor unit properties by examining the influence of clinical or experimental pain on the following three domains: H-reflex, corticospinal excitability, motor unit behaviour and corticoparousal excitability.
