Explaining trunk strength variation and improvement following resistance training in people with chronic low back pain: clinical and performance-based outcomes analysis.

ABSTRACT: A multitude of variables contribute to the variation of trunk strength in individuals with chronic low back pain (CLBP). This study investigated a range of variables to determine which variables contribute most to variation in trunk isometric strength and gains in strength following resistance training in people with CLBP. Outcome measures were recorded from 20 participants with CLBP both at baseline and following resistance training. Regression analyses were applied with the average trunk maximum voluntary isometric torque as the dependent variable. Variance in baseline trunk flexion strength (R² = .66) was explained by demographic covariates and a measure of trunk muscle co-activation. The baseline trunk extension strength variance (R² = .65) was explained by demogr
