Background Higher task-specific pain-related fear has been associated with reduced lumbar spine motion during lightweight object lifting in both individuals with chronic low back pain (LBP) and healthy individuals. These findings suggest the adoption of protective movement strategies that may have adverse long-term consequences. However, it remains unclear whether such fear-related adaptations also occur in individuals who regularly lift heavy objects at work. This study aimed to investigate whether the effect of task-specific pain-related fear on lifting kinematics differs between individuals with (LIFTER) and…
