Randomized Controlled Trial
An occupational, internet-based intervention to prevent chronicity in subacute lower back pain: a randomised controlled trial.
To investigate whether an online occupational postural and exercise intervention reduced patients' overall risk status for chronicity in subacute non-specific low back pain compared with conventional treatment, and to determine whether changes in risk of chronicity correlate with changes in specific outcomes (i.e. Functional Status and QoL) for low back pain. ⋯ This study supports the potential utility of a real-time occupational internet-based intervention for preventing progression to chronicity of subacute non-specific low back pain among office workers.

Sonography and physical findings in stroke patients with hemiplegic shoulders: a longitudinal study.
To investigate the correlation between hemiplegic shoulder pain factors during the acute and chronic stages of stroke recovery. ⋯ Hemiplegic shoulder pain was correlated with lower motor function level and shoulder range of motion limitation in both stages. Shoulder spasticity and abnormal sonographic findings were correlated with hemiplegic shoulder pain during the chronic stage.
