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 .
Active rehabilitation for chronic low back pain: Cognitive-behavioral, physical, or both? First direct post-treatment results from a randomized controlled trial [ISRCTN22714229]
Background The treatment of non-specific chronic low back pain is often based on three different models regarding the development and maintenance of pain and especially functional limitations : the deconditioning model , the cognitive behavioral model and the biopsychosocial model . There is evidence that rehabilitation of patients with chronic low back pain is more effective than no treatment , but information is lacking about the differential effectiveness of different kinds of rehabilitation . A direct comparison of a physical , a cognitive-behavioral treatment and a combination of both has never been carried out so far . Methods The effectiveness of active physical , cognitive-behavioral and combined treatment for  chronic non-specific low back pain compared with a waiting list control group was determined by performing a r and omized controlled trial in three rehabilitation centers . Two hundred and twenty three patients were r and omized , using concealed block r and omization to one of the following treatments , which they attended three times a week for 10 weeks : Active Physical Treatment ( APT ) , Cognitive-Behavioral Treatment ( CBT ) , Combined Treatment of APT and CBT ( CT ) , or Waiting List ( WL ) . The outcome variables were self-reported functional limitations , patient 's main complaints , pain , mood , self-rated treatment effectiveness , treatment satisfaction and physical performance including walking , st and ing up , reaching forward , stair climbing and lifting . Assessment s were carried out by blinded research assistants at baseline and immediately post-treatment . The data were analyzed using the intention-to-treat principle . Results For 212 patients , data were available for analysis . After treatment , significant reductions were observed in functional limitations , patient 's main complaints and pain intensity for all three active treatments compared to the WL . Also , the self-rated treatment effectiveness and satisfaction appeared to be higher in the three active treatments . Several physical performance tasks improved in APT and CT but not in CBT . No clinical ly relevant differences were found between the CT and APT , or between CT and CBT . Conclusion All three active treatments were effective in comparison to no treatment , but no clinical ly relevant differences between the combined and the single component treatments were found
