That is , persons with acute or subacute LBP appear to vary in the levels of physical activity independent of their pain-related disability .
Persons with chronic LBP with high levels of disability are also likely to have low levels of physical activity .
Persons with acute or subacute back pain appear to vary in the levels of physical activity independent of disability .
Persons with chronic back pain with high levels of disability will likely have low levels of physical activity
It is often assumed that patients with pain-related disability due to low back pain ( LBP ) will have reduced physical activity levels , but recent studies have provided results that challenge this assumption .
The aim of our systematic review was to examine the relationship between  physical activity  and disability in LBP .
Motor control or graded activity exercises for chronic low back pain? A randomised controlled trial
Background Chronic low back pain remains a major health problem in Australia and around the world . Unfortunately the majority of treatments for this condition produce small effects because not all patients respond to each treatment . It appears that only 25–50 % of patients respond to exercise . The two most popular types of exercise for low back pain are grade d activity and motor control exercises . At present however , there are no guidelines to help clinicians select the best treatment for a patient . As a result , time and money are wasted on treatments which ultimately fail to help the patient . Methods This paper describes the protocol of a r and omised clinical trial comparing the effects of motor control exercises with a grade d activity program in the treatment of chronic non specific low back pain . Further analysis will identify clinical features that may predict a patient 's response to each treatment . One hundred and seventy two participants will be r and omly allocated to receive either a program of motor control exercises or grade d activity . Measures of outcome will be obtained at 2 , 6 and 12 months after r and omisation . The primary outcomes are : pain ( average pain intensity over the last week ) and function ( patient-specific functional scale ) at 2 and 6 months . Potential treatment effect modifiers will be measured at baseline . Discussion This trial will not only evaluate which exercise approach is more effective in general for patients will chronic low back pain , but will also determine which exercise approach is best for an individual patient .
