Abstract
The torque production capacity of the human trunk is posture dependent and declines with increasing rotation. However, with increasing rotation and flexion, the magnitude of EMG increases. This implies that with increasing asymmetry, it requires more muscle effort (thus tissue stress) to generate less torque. Increasing asymmetry tends to weaken the system and may enhance chances of injury.
