Randomized Controlled Trial
Predicting response to motor control exercises and graded activity for patients with low back pain: preplanned secondary analysis of a randomized controlled trial.
Current treatments for low back pain have small effects. A research priority is to identify patient characteristics associated with larger effects for specific interventions. ⋯ A simple 15-item questionnaire of features considered indicative of clinical instability can identify patients who respond best to either motor control exercises or graded activity.
