BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Adoption of low back pain (LBP) guidelines in physiotherapeutic management is a well-documented problem. Thereby, an in-depth understanding of the barriers to implement an active approach for both patients and physiotherapists is needed. DESIGN: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with physiotherapists and patients w...
Introduction: Functional Spine Restoration Programs (RFR®) have undergone significant evolution over the past few decades, both in content and structure. Nowadays, they include group-based care (PES) that is enhanced by sessions dedicated to behavioral change. The challenge is to transform patients' beliefs to encourage them to adopt behaviors that...

The purpose of this study was to examine patients' expectations and factors that influence adherence to physiotherapists' treatment recommendations on chronic low back pain (CLBP). One hundred and forty seven patients with CLBP were included in this study. Predictive indicators including demographic information, views, expectations, and opinions re...

The evidence supporting the application of pain neuroscience education (PNE) in patients with chronic low back pain (LBP) remains some arguments. This review aims to investigate the effect of PNE alone and combined with physical therapy or exercise for chronic LBP. PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and the Cochrane databases were searched from establ...
BACKGROUND: Postural control can be challenged by breathing. RESEARCH QUESTION: What is the effect of an acute increase in respiratory demand on postural control compared to quiet breathing? METHODS: A systematic review was conducted. Electronic databases were systematically searched until October 18, 2022 on studies reporting changes in center of ...

Postural control can be challenged by breathing. What is the effect of an acute increase in respiratory demand on postural control compared to quiet breathing? A systematic review was conducted. Electronic databases were systematically searched until October 18, 2022 on studies reporting changes in center of pressure (CoP) motion related to an acut...

Low back pain (LBP) is an understudied condition among runners, and it is unclear what biomechanical features could be targeted for gait retraining to mitigate pain. How do running biomechanics differ between healthy individuals and those with running-related LBP? This was a case-controlled, comparative study design of community runners: running-re...

Low back pain (LBP) majorly contributes to activity limitations and work absences worldwide. Therefore, a comprehensive knowledge of the risk factors linked to non-specific low back pain (NSLBP) can enable early and timely interventions to achieve long-term improvements. Current study aimed to assess the risk factors associated with the severity of...

The STarT back screening tool helps primary care workers make the initial clinical decision and classify low back pain subjects into subgroups. Currently, the tool is required for stratification/triaging of low back pain and is commonly used in clinical practice, and requires linguistic validation in Tamil. The study aimed to determine the validity...
