Comparative Study
Three-dimensional kinetics of the lumbar spine and hips in low back pain patients during sit-to-stand and stand-to-sit.
Experimental, biomechanical study to determine the kinetics of the lumbar spine and hips during sit-to-stand and stand-to-sit. ⋯ Back pain subjects exhibit compensatory movements and altered load sharing strategies during the sit-to-stand and stand-to-sit activities. Exercise therapy should take account of these changes so that the normal kinematic and kinetic characteristics of the spine and hips can be restored.

Modified Delphi panel using Q-methodology. ⋯ Until definitive evidence is available, back disability prevention interventions will likely need to address multiple factors simultaneously and emphasize efforts to improve care provider reassurance. Consensus findings may vary depending on the panel. Research on nonoccupational participation, environmental factors at home, and reasons for discordant interpretation of evidence is needed.
