Low Back Pain: Health Care Utilization, Predicting Outcomes with Spinal Stabilization, Spinal Kinematics

• Describe the early health care utilization for occupational low back pain
• Determine which factors are important in predicting outcome after a spinal stabilization exercise program
• Assess lumbar disc surgery rates before and after implementation of nonsurgical spine clinics
• Determine whether kinematic compromise can be used to predict spine loading in low back pain (LBP) patients under realistic lifting efforts in a workplace
• Determine the effects of subacute LBP and limitation of the straight leg raise on lumbar and hip kinematics during sit-to-stand and its reverse
