Résumé
Background
Chronic nonspecific low back pain (CNLBP) is associated with altered deep trunk muscle function, but contraction responses across different postural and task conditions remain unclear.
Objective
This study compared contraction ratios of the transversus abdominis (TrA), internal oblique (IO), and lumbar multifidus (LM) muscles between individuals with CNLBP and healthy controls across two postural and task conditions differing in surface stability and contraction task.
