Young individuals with a more ankle-steered proprioceptive control strategy may develop mild non-specific low back pain

TL;DR: A more ankle-steered proprioceptive postural control strategy in upright standing increased the risk for developing or having recurrences of mild LBP within two years, and could contribute to improving the prevention and rehabilitation of LBP.

Paraspinal muscle cross-sectional area predicts low back disability but not pain intensity.

TL;DR: This study found an inverse relationship between lumbar paraspinal muscle CSA and low back disability, but not pain intensity, which suggests that treatment strategies directed at increasing paraspinals muscle size may be effective in reducing low back Disability.

Original Article Low back pain associated with lumbar disc herniation: role of moderately degenerative disc and annulus fibrous tears
