Interventions for the Management of Acute and Chronic Low Back Pain: Revision 2021.
Abstract
Low back pain (LBP) remains a musculoskeletal condition with an adverse societal impact.
Globally, LBP is highly prevalent and a leading cause of disability. This is an update
to the 2012 Academy of Orthopaedic Physical Therapy (AOPT), formerly the Orthopaedic
Section of the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA), clinical practice guideline
(CPG) for LBP. The overall objective of this update was to provide recommendations
on interventions delivered by physical therapists or studied in care settings that
included physical therapy providers. It also focused on synthesizing new evidence,
with the purpose of making recommendations for specific nonpharmacologic treatments.
