abstract = {Background: The purpose of this systematic review was to: (I) determine the quality of
evidence from studies assessing trunk isokinetic strength in subjects with acute low back pain (ALBP)
compared to healthy subjects and (II) establish reference values of isokinetic trunk strength in subjects
with ALBP. Methodology: Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analyses
(PRISMA) statements were followed using keywords associated with trunk, strength and low back
pain. Four databases were used: PubMed,Web of Science, Scopus and SPORTDiscus. Methodological
quality was assessed using the Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies (QUADAS).
Results: A total of 1604 articles were retrieved, four included in this review. All were evaluated
as high risk of bias (Rob). Due to the high Rob and the diversity of protocols, instruments and
variables used, it was not possible to determine reference values for subjects with ALBP, we can only
establish a range of flexion peak torque (PT) between 175.1 and 89.7 Nm at 60 /s and between 185
and 81.5 Nm at 120 /s, and for extension PT between 240.0 and 91.5 Nm at 60 /s and between 217.5
and 69.2 Nm at 120 /s in subjects with ALBP. Conclusions: Due to the low quality of the evidence
and the diversity of protocols used when measuring trunk isokinetic strength, it is necessary to carry
out new high-quality research to establish reference values of trunk strength in subjects with ALBP},
