BACKGROUND: Motor retraining for non-specific @entity1643 ( @entity1643 ) often focuses on voluntary postural tasks. This training, however, may not transfer to other known @entity73 , such as automatic postural responses to external perturbations. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the extent current treatments of motor retraining ameliorate impaired postural coordination when responding to a perturbation of standing balance. DESIGN: Planned secondary analysis of a prospectively registered (NCT01362049), randomized controlled trial with a blinded assessor. METHOD: Sixty-eight subjects with chronic, recurrent, non-specific @entity1643 were allocated to perform a postural response task as a secondary assessment one week before and one week after receiving either stabilization or @entity717 ( @entity717 )-directed treatment over 6 weekly 1-h sessions plus home exercises. For assessment, subjects completed the @entity717 and numeric @entity158 rating questionnaires and then performed a postural response task of maintaining standing balance in response to 3 trials in each of 4 randomly presented directions of linear surface translations of the platform under the subjects' feet. Integrated amplitudes of surface electromyography (EMG) were recorded bilaterally from the rectus abdominis (RA), internal oblique (IO), and external oblique (EO) muscles during the postural response task. RESULTS: No significant effects of treatment on EMG responses were evident. Oswestry and numeric @entity158 ratings decreased similarly following both treatments. CONCLUSIONS: Stabilization and @entity717 -directed treatments do not affect trunk EMG responses to perturbations of standing balance in @entity1 with @entity1643 , suggesting current methods of motor retraining do not sufficiently transfer to tasks of reactive postural control.
