Associations between pain measures and having a motion segment in a specific subgroup. The associations for each of the three pain measures for people having a lumbar motion segment belonging to specific subgroups compared to people in Subgroup 1 (who all had no or few findings in all five motion segments). Results are in Odds Ratios with 95% Confidence Interval. Statistically significant Odds Ratios are italicised and bold. (i) Progressive stages of disc degeneration in the upper lumbar motion segments and (ii) lower lumbar motion segments. ^aAll five motion segments in Subgroup 1 versus a minimum of one motion segment in Subgroup 5. ^bAll five motion segments in Subgroup 1 versus a minimum of one motion segment in Subgroup 4 but no motion segments in Subgroup 5. ^cAll five motion segments in Subgroup 1 versus a minimum of one motion segment in Subgroup 2 but no motion segments in Subgroup 4 or 5. ^dAll five motion segments in Subgroup 1 versus a minimum of one motion segment in Subgroup 3 but no motion segments in Subgroup 4 or 5. ^eAll five motion segments in Subgroup 1 versus a minimum of one motion segment in Subgroup 6 but no motion segments in Subgroup 3, 4 or 5
