The effect of attentional focus on local dynamic stability during a repetitive spine flexion task

The association between low back pain and spine movement control suggests that it is important to reliably quantify movement behavior. One method to characterize spine movement behavior is to measure the local dynamic stability (LDS) of spine movement during a repetitive flexion task in which a participant is asked to touch multiple targets repetitively. Within the literature, it has been well established that an individual ’s focus of attention (FOA) can modulate their neuromuscular control and affect task performance.
