Is Lifting Technique Related to Pain and Functional Limitation? A Replicated Single-Case Design Study of Five People With Lifting-Related Chronic Low Back Pain.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Chronic low back pain (CLBP) is often provoked by lifting activities, but the relationship between changes in lifting technique and clinical outcomes while undergoing intervention remains unclear. This study examined the within-person relationships between changes in lifting technique and changes in pain and functional limitation in people with lifting-related CLBP.

Methods

Five participants with lifting-related CLBP completed repeated measures of their lifting techniques, pain and functional limitation across baseline (4-6 weeks), intervention (12 weeks) and follow-up periods (3 months). Participants received up to 10 sessions of Cognitive Functional Therapy (CFT) during the intervention period. Wearable sensors measured the spinal and lower extremities' range of
