Distinguishing chronic low back pain in young adults with mild to moderate pain and disability using trunk compliance. Sci Rep. 2021 Apr 7;11(1):7592. doi: 10.1038/s41598-021-87138-6. PMID: 33828171; PMCID: PMC8026630.
  • “Chronic low back pain (cLBP) rates among younger individuals are rising. Although pain and disability are often less severe, underlying changes in trunk behavior may be responsible for recurrence. We examine the biomarker capacity of a simple Trunk Compliance Index (TCI) to distinguish individuals with and without cLBP.”
