Sponsored by Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières · Observational
The aim of the present study is to quantify the relative contribution of variables obtained during a physical fitness evaluation and a short screening questionnaire in determining the short-term and long term risk of persistent disabling low back pain in patients with chronic low back pain. It has been hypothesized that patients with higher physical fitness will present a lower risk of persistent disabling low back pain and so, a lower score on the questionnaire.
2,373 studies on the registry are indexed under Back Pain; 284 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 53 is below the median of 100 across 357 observational studies indexed under Back Pain.
