Table 5 Standard error of measurement (SEM (mV)), standard error of measurement in percent (SEM% (%)), minimal detectable change (MDC (mV)) and minimal detectable change in percent (MDC% (%)) of the absolute and normalized root mean square values of the left and right erector spinae surface electromyography during standardized box lifting

From: Inter-day reliability of surface electromyography recordings of the lumbar part of erector spinae longissimus and trapezius descendens during box lifting
