Brief summary (from the registry)
Chronic low back pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal disorders. In the Finnish Health 2000 survey the incidence of low back pain was 10% in men and 11% in women. Several evidence-based rehabilitation guidelines recommend exercise therapy treatment of chronic back pain. However, there are no studies in chronic low back pain patients concerning the assessment of the content and quality of exercise modalities adviced in clinical practise. The aim of this study is to investigate the content and quality of physiotherapy management and advise in chronic low back pain patients in Central Finland.
