While rare, pathology can devastating life-changing or life-limiting consequences, must be identified early managed appropriately. Red flags (signs symptoms that might raise suspicion pathology) historically been used by identify Currently, there is an absence high-quality evidence for...
Despite the profound burden of disease, a strategic global response to optimise musculoskeletal (MSK) health and guide national-level systems strengthening priorities remains absent. Auspiced by Global Alliance for Musculoskeletal Health (G-MUSC), we aimed empirically derive requisite components action on MSK health.

Actions towards the health-related Sustainable Development Goal 3.4 typically focus on non-communicable diseases (NCDs) associated with premature mortality, less emphasis NCDs disability, such as musculoskeletal conditions-the leading contributor to global burden of disability.
Abstract Background In response for the need of a freely available, stand‐alone, validated outcome measure use within musculoskeletal (MSK) physiotherapy practice, sensitive enough to clinical effectiveness, we developed an MSK patient reported measure. Objectives This study examined validity and reliability newly Brighton Patient‐Reported Outcome Measure (BmPROM) outpatient settings. Methods Two hundred twenty‐four patients attending departments in South East England with condition...
Improving cardiovascular fitness is recognized as an important aspect in the rehabilitation of patients with chronic low back pain. The improvement relies on individual exercising at a certain intensity. Rating Perceived Exertion (RPE) has been widely accepted way to monitor exercise This study aimed determine criterion validity and test–retest reliability RPE In total, 30 subjects pain performed two identical submaximal graded cycle ergometer tests. Heart rate oxygen consumption were...
