Approximately 50% of the firefighters who participated in the study experienced low back pain in the past 12 months. Since the pain level was mild to moderate, most of them continued to report to work. Biomechanically, there were no differences in back muscle strength, stiffness, resistance to fatigue, or left-right symmetry between firefighters with and without back pain history. Back disabilities were not related to any biomechanical measures or demographics including age and body mass index. Overall, despite experiencing some back pain, these frontline firefighters are highly functional and did not show diminished physical or neuromuscular responses.
