This is episode we discuss a research paper attempting to understand if people with low back pain have a higher or lower movement variability in sit-to-stand-to-sit movements. Movement variability has been shown in people with chronic pain and researchers are torn in the potential causes. SHOW NOTES: https://www.clinbiomech.com/article/S0268-0033(18)30452-2/fulltext
