Central and peripheral factors moderating pain effects on motor control and disability in chronic lumbosacral radicular pain.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Motor control is organized within a hierarchical system in which the sensorimotor cortex generates motor commands that are progressively refined through subcortical and spinal networks before being executed by peripheral muscles. Central factors provide the planning and modulation necessary for movement, while peripheral neuromuscular strategies translate these commands into action.Within this interplay, anticipatory postural adjustments (APAs; feedforward control) and compensatory postural adjustments (CPAs; feedback-based corrections) are key peripheral factors that operate in continuous interaction with cortical processes to preserve motor control and postural stability.

Objective

To investigate whether cortical excitability-measured by sensory evoked potential
