Background: Prognosis of acute idiopathic neck pain is poor. An overview of modifiable and non-modifiable prognostic factors for the development of chronic musculoskeletal neck pain after an episode of idiopathic, non-traumatic neck pain is needed. Objective: Identify prognostic factors for pain intensity …

Background. The Treatment Beliefs Questionnaire has been developed to measure patients’ beliefs of necessity of and concerns about rehabilitation. Preliminary evidence suggests that these beliefs may be associated with attendance of rehabilitation. The aim of this study was to translate and adapt the …

Chronic low back pain (CLBP) is the most widespread type of musculoskeletal pain. Roughly 5% to 10% of low back pain cases become chronic, creating difficulties for those affected. High Intensity Laser Therapy (HILT) is used as treatment for musculoskeletal conditions. Studies have revealed HILT’s …

Wereldwijd is aspecifieke lage rugpijn (LRP) de belangrijkste oorzaak van beperkingen in activiteiten en participatie(1, 2). Van de volwassen bevolking ervaart 37% per jaar LRP, een klein deel hiervan behoudt chronische LRP(3, 4). Chronische LRP kan ontstaan door invloed van diverse risicofactoren. Belangrijke …

Low back pain (LBP) is a global problem that causes high rates of treatment costs, sick leave, and functional disability. Most LBP patients suffer from non-specific LBP (NSLBP) and a smaller portion of sufferers develop chronic pain (CLBP). Within CLBP patients, a more complicated group of syndromes …

Non-specific low back pain (LBP) is one of the most prevailing health problems worldwide, with a life-time prevalence of 38.9%. In almost 85% of low back pain patients, a patho-anatomical diagnosis cannot be distinguished. The estimation is that between 5.0% and 10.0% of LBP will develop into chronic …

Musculoskeletal disorders are leading causes of work disability. Our purpose was to develop a predictive model in a cohort from 2012 and validate the model in 2016 data.

Purpose: To assess the factor structure, related constructs and internal consistency of the Child Activity Limitation Interview 21-Child version for use in Dutch-language countries. Methods: Cross-sectional validation study: After forward and back translation of the Dutch version of the Child Activity …

Chronic low back pain (CLBP) has major public health implications, and underlying mechanisms are still unclear. Sensorimotor incongruence (SMI)—an ongoing mismatch between top-down motor output and predicted sensory feedback—may play a role in the course of chronic nonspecific low back pain. The hypothesis …
