sEMG amplitudes of trunk muscles. Boxes represent the interquartile range; center line indicates the median; whiskers represent the range; points represent individual participants. Values above each box indicate mean value ± SD. The vertical axis reports the percentage of MVIC, while the horizontal axis reports the must group (UT = Upper Trapezius, MT = Middle Trapezius, LT = Lower Trapezius, LD = Latissimus Dorsi) along with grip position (CP = Close pronated, CS = Close supinated, WP = Wide pronated, WS = Wide supinated)
