Low Risk for Persistent Back Pain Disability Is Characterized by Lower Pain Sensitivity and Higher Physical Performance
Physical TherapyKatie A Butera, et. al
2022-01-05
The STarT Back Tool (SBT) predicts risk for persistent low back pain (LBP)-related disability based on psychological distress levels. Other non-psychological factors associated with LBP, such as pain sensitivity and physical performance, may further characterize SBT-risk subgroups. The purpose of this study was to determine whether a low-risk SBT subgroup demonstrated lower pain sensitivity and/or higher physical performance compared with a medium-/high-risk SBT subgroup.
Outcomes of Participatory Ergonomics and Self-management in Commercial Clam Farmers with Chronic Low Back Pain: A Feasibility Study

Participatory ergonomics engages workers in the development of strategies to reduce workplace-related pain, offering a flexible and practical option to create individualized context-specific strategies. This paper describes the outcomes of a feasibility study using a participatory approach for self-management of low back pain in clam farmers. A within-subject time-control design with repeated baseline and post-intervention assessment was used.
Physical therapists’ attitudes are associated with their confidence in and the frequency with which they engage in prescription opioid medication misuse management practices with their patients.

In the US, prescription opioid medication misuse (POMM) necessitates engagement of physical therapists (PTs). We evaluated the attitudes of (PT) related to their management of patients with POMM and examined the association between these attitudes and PTs confidence in POMM–related management abilities and the frequency with which they engaged in POMM–related management practices. We conducted a national survey of PTs that included a modified Drug and Drug Problems Perception Questionnaire (DDPPQ).
Chronic lower back pain in aquaculture clam farmers: adoption and feasibility of self-management strategies introduced using a rapid prototype participatory ergonomic approach
International Journal of Occupational Safety and ErgonomicsKim Dunleavy, et. al
2021-07-07
Lower back pain (LBP) is extremely prevalent in seafood harvesters who often have limited or no access to ergonomic consultation, occupational health support and rehabilitation services. This pilot study aimed to describe a participatory ergonomic approach and determine the feasibility and extent of adoption of self-management strategies in clam farmers with LBP. A rapid prototype participatory ergonomic approach was used to develop context-specific self-management strategies.
