Summary

This observational study looked at how people with chronic low back pain and healthy volunteers respond when they imagine everyday situations that might be painful. Researchers measured body sway, muscle activity, and heart rate while participants viewed pictures of such situations. The goal was to see if pain-related thoughts affect balance differently in those with ongoing back pain.
