Because patients presenting with low back pain are a heterogeneous population, and because in 85% of cases no specific diagnosis can be made for low back pain, a treatment based classification system is useful for physical therapists in developing rehabilitation programs for patients unspecified with low back pain. In this type of system, patients are categorized according to general presentation, findings from a physical examination, impairments, and functional limitations, and are grouped into one of several treatment classifications. In order to assist with this classification, clinical prediction rules are a set of criteria that a patient should meet in order to be placed into a specific treatment group. | Because patients presenting with low back pain are a heterogeneous population, and because in 85% of cases no specific diagnosis can be made for low back pain, a treatment based classification system is useful for physical therapists in developing rehabilitation programs for patients unspecified with low back pain.

Indication
[edit | edit source]
Because patients presenting with low back pain are a heterogeneous population, and because in 85% of cases no specific diagnosis can be made for low back pain, a treatment based classification system is useful for physical therapists in developing rehabilitation programs for patients unspecified with low back pain. In this type of system, patients are categorized according to general presentation, findings from a physical examination, impairments, and functional limitations, and are grouped into one of several treatment classifications. In order to assist with this classification, clinical prediction rules are a set of criteria that a patient should meet in order to be placed into a specific treatment group.
Clinical Prediction Rule[edit | edit source]
- Younger Age (<40 years old)
- Increased Flexibility (Average SLR > 91o)
- Aberrant Motions or Instability Catch during Lumbar Flexion/Extension ROM
- Hypermobility of the Lumbar Spine
- (+) Prone Instability Test
