Core Tip	The aim of this study was to analyze neuromuscular activity patterns of the trunk in healthy controls (H) and back pain patients (BPP) during one-handed lifting of light to heavy loads. Neuromuscular trunk compensation strategies for expected loading with different weights did not differ between BPP and H, and showed a similar muscular activation pattern with the highest activity found in the contralateral abdominal muscles (VR). Heavier loading leads to an increase (2- to 3-fold) in trunk muscle activity with comparable patterns between groups. Heavy loading (20 kg) may lead to task failure, especially in women with back pain.
