Feasibility of Physical Exam and Performance‐Based Tests in Individuals With Chronic Low Back Pain: A Descriptive Study
The results support the safety and feasibility of a comprehensive battery of physical tests and pain assessments in individuals with cLBP. This study also provides novel information on the test's performance frequency, reasons for not being completed, duration, and descriptive results in individuals with cLBP. This comprehensive characterization provides reference values for comparison in future research planning and clinical practice.
