Low back pain is considered an important public health problem and is associated with high socioeconomic costs, work absenteeism and disability (1). The lumbar spine has vertebral stabilization systems during dynamic tasks (active and control systems); however, people with low back pain show changes in their morphology and motor control that affect their stability. OBJECTIVE: Describe the association between the amount of low back pain and the level of isometric activity of the muscles which keep the stability in the neutral zone through the central stability test of Sahrmann in the patients that receive treatment in the area of physical therapy of the hospital “Homero Castanier Crespo”. METHODS: A correlational and cross-sectional study was carried out with 30 people. The scales used were the Sahrmann Central Stability Test and the Visual Analog Scale (VAS). The results are presented using frequencies, percentages and the Spearman correlation test. RESULTS: Of the sample studied a 73.3% (n=22) of the patients presented stability levels of 0 and 1. The coefficient of correlation was 0.238 which would indicate a week correlation between these variables. Based on a significance level of 0.05. An error probability of 20.5% (ρ > 0.05) was obtained. CONCLUSION: The degree of pain and the level of isometric contraction seem to be unrelated, but it was observed that people with low back pain have low levels of stability associated with changes in motor control

It is difficult for physiotherapists to know in depth the postural behavior of their patients. This is important information to have a complete understanding of the patient's context and the risk factors that contribute to the appearance of musculoskeletal disorders. In this context, we present the development and testing of a real time prototype with skeleton tracking of postures adopted by a person while sitting in front of a computer. The prototype uses a depth camera to obtain the spatial coordinates of the body's joints. These points are used to calculate the angles that describe the individual's posture. A data set of angles is built to train 3 classification methods RNN, RFC and GBC. For all 3 classification methods, the accuracy rate exceeds 70% for the 5 postures studied. The accuracy rate of the prototype used in a physiotherapy case study is not affected by more than 10% compared to the results obtained under controlled conditions. In addition, the results obtained in the study case assisted a specialist to develop a treatment plan.
