Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim was to evaluate the influence of the level of disability on sensorimotor and psychological variables in nonspecific chronic low back pain (NCLBP). METHODS A cross-sectional observational study was performed with 90 participants, divided into one group with NCLBP (60 participants) and one asymptomatic group (30 participants). Symptomatic participants were divided into a "major" or "minor" disability group using the Roland Morris Disability Questionnaire score, resulting in two groups of 30 participants. All participants completed a series of self-administered questionnaires and performed sensorimotor tests. RESULTS There were no statistically significant differences in the sensorimotor variables except in pain intensity, which was greater in the NCLBP group with high lumbar disability. There were statistically significant differences between the symptomatic groups in the degree of self-efficacy, pain catastrophism and kinesiophobia. CONCLUSIONS Patients with NCLBP and high levels of disability present greater pain intensity and significantly poorer results in psychological variables compared with those with NCLBP and low levels of disability. In contrast, there were no differences for sensorimotor variables between the patients with NCLBP and high levels of disability and those with low levels of disability.
