Differences in feedforward trunk muscle activity in subgroups C of patients with mechanical low back pain.Objective: To investigate alterations in trunk muscle timing patterns in subgroups of patients with mechanical low back pain (MLBP). Our hypothesis was that subjects with MLBP would demonstrate delayed muscle onset and have fewer muscles functioning in a feedforward manner than the control group. We further hypothesized that we would find differences between subgroups of our patients with MLBP, grouped according to diagnosis (segmental instability and noninstability).Design: Case-control.Setting: Laboratory.Participants: Forty-three patients with chronic MLBP (25 instability, 18 noninstability) and 39 asymptomatic controls.Interventions: Not applicable.Main Outcome Measures: Surface electromyography was used to measure onset time of 10 trunk muscles during a self-perturbation task. Trunk muscle onset latency relative to the anterior deltoid was calculated and the number of muscles functioning in feedforward determined.Results: Activation timing patterns (P
