Fig. 2 The mean median frequency of the power spectrum of the EMG signals of the trunk muscles for (A) 20%, (B) 40%, and (C) 60% of maximal lateral bend exertion. LES, lumbar erector spinae; TES, thoracic erector spinae; RA, rectus abdominus; EO, external abdominal oblique; IO, internal abdominal oblique.
