Abstract

Although many current low back pain exercise incorporate proprioceptive training, very little research has been performed on proprioception of the low back. To determine wether reposition error is different in male than female. Eighteen young individuals took part in the research, seven male and eleven female. The 3-dimensional position of the lumbar was measured with a CMS70P. Reposition error was calculated as the absolute difference between the neutral position and return position. No significant differences in reposition error were found between male and female. No significant correlations were identified between reposition error and movement direction.
