Summary

Physiotherapy is a long established therapy in lower back pain. It is unknown if physiotherapeutic interventions in patients presenting to the Emergency Department (ED) with nonspecific lower back pain are beneficial. The aim of this study is to assess whether patients presenting to the emergency department with non-specific low risk low back pain would benefit from a physiotherapy intervention, as compared to patients without physiotherapy intervention at time of ED presentation.

  • Lower Back Pain

Interventions

physiotherapeutic intervention

The intervention consists of a brief physiotherapeutic assessment by a short physical performance battery, a brief information on the expected course of the condition and instructions on self-management regarding back friendly behaviour (eg. respecting the pain, staying active and back friendly movement strategies). Additionally, three exercises for daily self-guided therapy are included to the intervention: Turning in bed and coming to a sitting position, sit to stand and squats standing in front of a wall.
