Effect of dual tasking on anticipatory and compensatory postural adjustments in response to external perturbations in individuals with nonspecific chronic low back pain: Electromyographic analysis.

CONCLUSION: The impaired ankle muscle activities during a cognitive task suggest that postural control recovery following external perturbation requires attentional resources in patients with nonspecific CLBP. This may increase the risk of re-injury in people with nonspecific CLBP while they perform an attentionally demanding task in more difficult circumstances.
