Background Current treatments for low back pain have small effects. A research priority is to identify patient characteristics associated with larger effects specific interventions. Objective The aim of this study was simple clinical patients chronic who would benefit more from either motor control exercises or graded activity. Design This a secondary analysis the results randomized controlled trial. Methods One hundred seventy-two were enrolled in trial, which conducted Australian physical...
It has been suggested that low back pain (LBP) is a condition with an unpredictable pattern of exacerbation, remission, and recurrence. However, there incomplete understanding the course LBP determinants course.The purposes this study were: (1) to identify clusters patients similar fluctuating patterns over time (2) investigate whether demographic clinical characteristics can distinguish these clusters.This was secondary analysis data extracted from randomized controlled trial.Pain scores...

As result, time money wasted on which ultimately fail This paper...
The Pain Self-Efficacy Questionnaire (PSEQ) is used by physical therapists in clinical practice and research. However, current understanding of the PSEQ's measurement properties incomplete, investigators cannot be confident that it provides unbiased information on patient self-efficacy.The aims this study were: (1) to investigate scale PSEQ using Rasch analysis (2) determine whether age, sex, pain intensity, duration, pain-related disability bias function PSEQ.This was a retrospective study;...
