Abstract:
The cause of low back pain in populations of professional drivers is uncertain. A literature review revealed factors that seem to be associated with low back pain (e.g. physical factors: exposure to whole body-vibration, prolonged sitting posture, frequent lifting, pushing and pulling, lack of physical fitness; psychosocial factors: job satisfaction or stress; individual factors: age, gender, anthropometrics, tobacco, alcohol consumption, etc.). This thesis investigates the occurrence of back pain in professional car drivers – a group found to be not focussed upon in previous epidemiological s

Abstract:
Chronic low back pain (CLBP) causes ongoing pain, disability and psychological suffering, at a huge personal and socio-economic cost. CLBP is a heterogeneous condition and its mechanisms are poorly understood. Characterisation and classification of low back pain (LBP) is controversial, there is disagreement on the characterisation and diagnosis of neuropathic low back pain (NuLBP) in relation to mechanical LBP (MLBP). Diagnostic uncertainty is coupled with poor clinical outcomes for treatment. There is therefore an urgent need to develop more effective assessment strategies to identify and bet

Abstract:
Acute low back pain is a commonly occurring symptom that can impact considerably upon a person's life. It is poorly defined, difficult to classify and challenging to measure. However, due to the high prevalence rates of the symptom, cited in the epidemiological literature, and the costs incurred by individuals, health services and society in general, it is vital that clients are encouraged to take more responsibility for their health. This thesis is concerned with perceptions of control in people with acute low back pain. It is about how they respond to this symptom and the way it impacts upon

Abstract:
Background Chronic low back pain (LBP) is a common health problem, with a large potential for primary prevention. Health utilities (HU) reflect which proportion of their expected remaining life time individuals would hypothetically trade to be alleviated of a health condition of interest. A value of 0 means “prefer to die immediately”, a value of 1 means “not willing to trade any life time”. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to assess HU for LBP patients and for healthy participants and to examine whether HU for LBP are useful indicators to substantiate preventive and therapeutic decis

Pain may impair this awareness and initiate or exacerbate joint damage. Impairment of position awareness in the low back has been reported in patients with chronic low back pain. In addition, work-related activities may impair positional awareness, particularly in people experiencing LBP. T

First, this study evaluated the prevalence of NP, SP, LBP and peripheral pains (upper or lower extremities) and the prevalence of multiple pains.

Introduction: Lifetime prevalence of low back pain in the adult population has been estimated to be over 60% and the costs to society are huge.

Prevalence of the condition increases with age from approximately 30% at age 25yrs and studies have shown that, in adults, the greatest predictor of low back pain is a previous history of similar symptoms.
