    Abstract

    Background Concerning chronic low back pain (CLBP), different cognitive–behavioral models have hypothesized that coping strategies play a role in the chronification of pain by changes in physical activity. Strategies such as avoidance – or persistent coping may be related to changes in (lumbar) muscle activity.
