Participants with low back pain who are referred for physical therapy will be randomized to routine physical therapy or routine physical therapy plus receiving a postural training device
详细描述
Participants with low back pain who are referred for physical therapy will be randomized to routine physical therapy or routine physical therapy plus receiving a postural training device.
Physical therapy will be completed 1-2 times per week over 4-6 weeks. If randomized to the group that also receives a postural training device, one of the physical therapy sessions will instruct the patient on use of the device, which can be used thereafter as tolerated by the patient.
At 6 weeks and 3 months, questionnaires that assess patients pain and function will be completed to assess outcomes
