Implication

Observational study reveals no trunk alignment differences between active young males with and without back pain, suggesting activity may preserve posture.

Key Points

To evaluate differences in trunk alignment parameters across varying levels of physical activity in young males with and without low back pain.
Recruited 43 participants with low back pain and 37 healthy controls, categorized into moderate physical activity (MPA) or high physical activity (HPA) groups.
Assessed low back pain prevalence using a custom questionnaire.
Quantified spinal posture and trunk alignment across planes using the Formetric 4D rasterstereographic system.
Observed no statistically significant differences between groups across trunk imbalance, trunk inclination, or trunk torsion.
Detected no significant variations in pelvic tilt, pelvic inclination, pelvic torsion, kyphotic angle, or lordotic angle between individuals with and without low back pain.
