Validity of a 6-item movement control test battery for evaluation of movement control impairment in the lumbar spine

Findings suggest the acceptable validity of the MCT battery when compared between CNLBP and NoLBP. The waiter's bow and flexion-specific tests effectively ruled out individuals with NoLBP with negative results, while sitting knee extension, prone knee flexion, and summation effectively ruled in the individuals with CNLBP with positive results. These findings highlight the clinical utility of these tests in assessing MCI in the lumbar spine.
