Lumbar Stability in Healthy Individuals and Low Back Pain Patients Quantified by Wall Plank-and-Roll Test

Low back pain has been linked to the degree of lumbar stability, but evaluating lumbar stability has remained a challenge. A previous research has shown that inertial sensors could be used to quantify motor patterns during the wall plank-and-roll (WPR) test, and that low back pain may cause deviations in movement from the general motor patterns observed in healthy subjects.
