The motion-related parameters may relate to biomechanical or learned sensitivities to spinal loading. This study suggests that higher-order trunk motion characteristics hold great promise as a quantitative indicator of the trunk's musculoskeletal status and may be used as a measure of the extent of a disorder and as a measure of rehabilitative progress. Furthermore, once the interactive nature of these trunk motion characteristics is considered, the model could help diagnose low back disorders. However, independent data sets are needed to validate these findings.
