Individuals who have low back pain (LBP) have significantly different motion characteristics than healthy individuals. However, the cause of these differences is unknown. Oxygen use of the erector spinae muscle was examined while simultaneously monitoring motion characteristics to determine whether oxygen use differed between healthy and LBP individuals. Thirty volunteers were classified as healthy, structural, or muscular-based LBP. A near-infrared spectrometer monitored oxygen use and blood volume in the lumbar region. Results showed significant differences in oxygen use but not blood volume between healthy and LBP subjects with muscular-based disorders. Inability of the muscular group to use oxygen in a manner similar to the healthy group indicates different processes at the tissue level, indicating that differences in oxygen use may provide insight into why motion patterns differ between healthy and LBP groups.
