People With Low Back Pain Exhibit Higher Trunk Muscle Activity
In a recent cross-sectional study, researchers investigated the relationship between low back pain and trunk muscle activity during various functional tasks. The study found that individuals with low back pain exhibited higher levels of trunk muscle activity and impaired postural control compared to those without back pain. These findings suggest that low back pain may be associated with altered muscle function and compensatory mechanisms, highlighting the importance of addressing muscle dysfunction in pain management and rehabilitation strategies.
