AB  - INTRODUCTION: Trunk muscle endurance (TME) tests are commonly used by clinicians 
      to assess muscle performance changes in response to rehabilitation in patients 
      with low back pain (LBP). The aim of this study was to assess the responsiveness 
      of three TME-tests in patients with LBP and to evaluate the relationships between 
      changes in TME and improvement in self-reported function. MATERIALS AND METHODS: 
      Eighty-four LBP patients were evaluated at baseline and after completion of a 
      6-week training program. Function was assessed with the modified Oswestry 
      Disability Index (ODI) while TME was estimated using three tests: (1) the 
      Biering-Sorensen, (2) the side bridge endurance tests (both sides), and (3) the 
      trunk flexor endurance test. The standardized response mean (SRM) and the minimal 
      clinical important difference (MCID) for each TME-test, and the relationships 
      between changes in TME and improvement in ODI were calculated. RESULTS: SRMs were 
      small to large for TME-tests (range: 0.43-0.82), and large for the ODI (2.85) and 
      no clinically useful MCID was identified for the TME-tests (area under the curve 
      below 0.70). No significant correlations were found between changes in the TME 
      and change in ODI scores (r < 0.15; all P > 0.05). CONCLUSION: Our results show a 
      weak responsiveness of TME-tests in patients with LBP. There was no association 
      between endurance performance change and self-reported functional change. 
      TME-tests may not be a key component of rehabilitation monitoring in patients 
      with LBP.
